Global Gaming Table

I usually just snap a quick photo of the board with my phone before packing up. It makes it easy to pick up where we left off.

Hi All,

I created these setup sheets/cheat sheets for an upcoming game. They’re designed so that each player can sit down and have most of what they need to know in front of them all the time.

Example:Germany Setup Sheet.png

Download all the sheets here: [https://www.mediafire.com/file/je5iw8q2v16g0qt/Simnos_Setup_Sheets.docx/file](link url)

Feel free to use them in your own games, or change them as you see fit. I’ve put them on the Word file I worked from so everything is editable. I’ve printed mine on glossy paper and I think they look great. I may laminate them too so they last.

If you see any mistakes please let me know (especially if you see them before my game on 13/10/24).

Additional note: I have slightly changed the factions so that the US player has control of ANZAC and the UK player has China. I just prefer it that way. If there’s a will for it I could probably do an altered sheet with the original combinations.

Asking the community here which map version would be preferred from below, or there a combination not represented? The game is European theatre, but there is an Asian/Pacific half as well. Game will be offered through HBG.

Historical flags only on capitals or important cities. Territories outside of homeland use lighter shade of colour.

Historical flags on capitals and small flags on territories to denote ownership along with colour. Territories outside of the homeland will use local flag.

Axis & Allies roundels used instead of historical flags. Territories outside of homeland still use local flags.

@hengst said in Historical Board Gaming Piece Colors:

On this note, is “blonde” or “tan” a better color match for OOB UK G40 pieces?

I think tan is a better match. Blonde is too light a color to be a good match.
