Just received my custom Battle Board that I had printed to go along with the upcoming giant 1940 Global map that I pre-ordered. Inspired by the original vintage game from 1984 with the design of the original battle board, I just wanted to pay homage to that original design where this now includes expansion pieces for my own AXIS & ALLIES game at home with my son using house rules and third-party pieces (mostly from Historical Board Gaming). This custom board measures 14" x 14".

Thought I’d share this as I thought some might like to see.

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator. I put this together myself using mainly Adobe Illustrator and some Photoshop when I needed to create some of the silhouette icons. Some were borrowed from the actual game’s images for the units.

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.

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.

I haven’t used that map, but I’d recommend scaling your pieces up by about 10-20% to keep things proportional. Test fit as you go to make sure it works.

Ages ago I made some NO cards for Anniversary. I recently revisited the project as the previous versions had some issues. There are 2 versions. The first version has a fancy reverse side which looks great if you can get the front and backs to line up perfectly when printing. The second version has a simple camo reverse side.

Here’s the links to the cards:

@vodot Really useful, thanks a lot

@Steiner This board is so cool! I love the colors and how 3D it is. I’d love to see photos with all the units setup!

@CorporalClegg

Thanks a lot for sharing this. They are so good to have and I think your layout is very nice. Have you make the last ones so they can be used for G40 combined

Kind regards
