I just wanted to say that I printed out a very large map size at 2440mm x 1118mm ( roughly 8 foot x 4 foot) on a digital printed transparency with a matt laminate and it has turned out fantastic. The quality was amazing. I searched everywhere to see if it could upscale and could not find the answers. Hopefully this will help someone who is thinking of doing the same.
I have built a custom table with magnets sunken into the table to hold the map in place. I wanted to use the table to play other games so the map had to roll up.
I also wanted to use the table for Global War 1936 and the magnets work well

LOVE IT!!! It even has a “feel” of a Bunker!
Hope I can make it over for a game one day.

Pick any day and I’ll invite the whole Oshawa gang over… we can also play some ROE.

I just edited the video with some informative subtitles… might be worth a second look. However, not sure why the newly edited subtitles didn’t show up on my mobil devices.

They didn’t show up on my immobile desktop PC either.

Odd… every time I play the video on my mac laptop, I can see them, but not on my I-phone.

Very cool game table - I like how organized you made everything!
-
If only for the space. I would love even the smallest space in my abode strictly for A&A…. alas LOL.
-
Thanks for the great comments guys… can anyone tell me if they can see the subtitle captions I’ve added to the video?
-
I just watched it again. Didn’t see any subtitles and it ran like it was in slow motion.

Just figured it out… You will need to enable your closed caption button (CC) on the lower right side of your Youtube screen. Click to get the full experience of the video.

Saw the subtitles but for me the video was like it was crawling. Maybe my computer. But first time I watched worked good.

Sounds like your network connection is slow, I’m just glad that the subtitles showed up because that was a lot of work.

Subtitles and all worked fine for me.

Awesome! now I can stop customizing my table, and start refining my strategies.
-
I now see the captions, which appear selectively at various points during the video. Everything runs at normal speed.
By the way, has anybody tried clicking on the CC button and selecting the “English (Automatic Captions)” option? The results are hilarious. I’ve just watched the first 60 seconds of the video in that mode, and in that brief time I’ve already come across such howlers as “cliffside Parker”, “Axis and Allies 1948 Global”, “they stray for rolling in” and – my favourite one so far – “it was designed by embezzle”. Can’t wait to watch the rest of it during my lunch break!
-
Sorry everyone, but I was not happy with the video and the closed captions are just not working for everyone. Therefore I made a new video this morning and have replaced the link in the first post of this thread. There’s no need to view it a second time as it’s only a little different, but pretty much the same content. However, don’t expect to see any subtitles if you do watch it again. Cheers.

If you do a short write-up of 1-2 paragraphs and send me all of the photos, I’ll post this on the main site.
Cheers.

Hello everyone,
I have shown off my table here in the past, however, I’m creating one last thread due to some newly added features and custom map.

As mentioned in the video we play 1940 Global with a few modifications. The link above will take you to a thread detailing all the house rules we use during our games at the bunker.

Would love to, but I’m not sure what the purpose would be… if you tell me what the nature of the end goal is, it would help me decide what content to write. Is it to show off my table and explain the details of all the features involved?

Just to share with the world your awesome creation. If you want to make it instructional, that would be even better, i.e., how to make your own.

Will do, but it’s gonna be longer than a couple of paragraphs.
