Bob_A_Mickelson's Complete AAP40 Charts and Aids [1st Ed.]

Excellent work, but the numbers on the Task Force tokens are hard to see.

Wait, Japan gets +5 bonus for EACH Calcutta, NSW, and HI? I thought it was +5 if you have one or all of them.

Thanks Bob!!..…As soon as my Ammo Box from FMG arrives I will finally have my deluxe AA game.  Your hard work is much appreciated by both myself and our war gaming group.

What’s the best way to have these made?  Printing or having them made

I wanted to ask the exact same thing. Are you just printing them on card stock or should I take the files to kinkos and get it done that way? It seems like someone was talking about this in another thread…any input on what’s working for you is much appreciated.

Thanks for your work Bob, looks great.

Here is my reply from the other thread:
@Variable:

@Gharen:

I am curious as to how you guys are printing/mounting these.  What kind of paper are you printing it out on or are you guys taking it to a Fedex and having them do it.  Just wanting some opinions/options before I get them printed out.

I used my home printer to print onto glossy photo paper. Then I used a spray adhesive to back it with a black, 1/4" foam core board. The result is very beautiful and durable. Just be careful not to get photo paper wet AT ALL. If this is a concern, use a good quality heavy weight paper. It won’t be glossy but it will hold up to a little moisture.

what are the “task force” boxes for?
and why are there numbers on the tokens?

If a force in a particular zone/territory gets too large to fit there, you place a token in the territory (i.e. #1) and then move the force off the board within view of all players and place it on the corresponding card (i.e. TF#1). It was introduced in Revised but needed most in AA42.

I took the Battle Board and National Production Income files to FedEx Kinko’s Office.  They printed them out and laminated them on a piece of white foam board.  The cost is a little pricey, ~$15.00, but they look fantastic and I don’t have to do the work.  The rest of the files, I am just going to have laminated with rigid plastic as they don’t have to be so thick.  I respect those of you who do them yourself as they look great but I have enough “scratch building” to do with my HO model railroad.

numbers should be in white or black with outline in some color that fits the rest of the background.

Agreed!

Bob_A_Mickelson, Thank you for sharing your beuatiful work with us.

Thanks Bob!!! The National Production Chart and Battleboard are the ones I am gonna put on gloss paper or heavy stock (I’ll try both I guess) and put on on top of white foam board which I have plenty of.
:-)

These are fantastic as-is!  Thank you so much!

I just had these completed at a local print shop on gloss white card stock and they look amazing.
Thank you so much for all the hard work!!  Can’t wait to play, we will be using them this weekend.

Thanks bob!

Yes thank you.  If I said that already thanks again!!! :mrgreen:

We are so lucky to have you in our forums.  Thanks for all your hard work.  :-)
