Nation- (and City-) Specific Victory City Markers

I noticed in a YouTube video today from hilltop pillbox that the board they were playing on had nation specific chips. Green for USA, yellow for UK, gray for Germany, red for Russia, etc.

Does this help in any way? Does it make each nation’s forces easier to see on the board? Does it keep someone from accidentally “cheating” when doing a random chip out?

Hi all, here are the latest additions to the ever-growing “Affordable Armory” :)

In addition to beginning to print in Gray and Black as well as the original White, I’ve also newly designed an Anti-Aircraft Gun (similar to OOB), a Kriegsmarine Escort Ship (Type 39 Torpedo Boat), and I’m printing the Royal Navy Hunt-Class light Destroyers (original model by AntarcticFox on thingiverse) for the Allied side as well.

While I work on a few bigger things (Light Tanks, Escort Carriers, Rail Depots, Coastal Artillery…) there are also some new miscellaneous bits as well: Oil Drums, Naval/Landmines, “Czech Hedgehog” anti-tank obstacles, and Metal Bars/Ingots. Come take a look at www.Etsy.com/shop/NathanDetr0itDesigns!

@Cloudesley Infantrymen will fit on the roundels – so it’s easy to keep track, and I place them next to the board so everyone can see them to strategize

This is the final set for the time being. Depending on how much demand there is for these pieces, I’m open to making one or two more sets, maybe in the late Fall or next year sometime. Right now I want to take a break for a bit and then work on some other projects (I have a long list of requested ships that I want to work on next).

If I do make more sets, one would probably be a “Capitals of Europe” to fill in some of the missing cities like Madrid, Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, Sofia, and Prague. Then the second set might contain non-european capitals that are in high demand. Definitely let me know if you have suggestions for cities or buildings that can be used and I’ll write them all down and consider them.

In the Amerika board game, there are a few rules when attacking city territories. The first is that artillery fires first in the opening round of combat and casualties are removed before continuing. The second is each city has it’s own Anti-aircraft guns which fire before combat begins and casualties are removed. This is not like the AA guns on factories, these are for ground assault. Lastly, the attacker can only use one round of combat to simulate the difficulty and length of time it takes to capture a city. I don’t know if this would transfer well to A&A though because there is also a stacking limit in Amerka. You would never be able to capture a capital in A&A if you stacked 20-30 units on it. You could make a limit of 2 or 3 rounds or something like that though.

let me know if you want to see the rest…

Flags to designate armies to place on army cards off the board.

Very nice.  Is there any particular reason why the Russian tank is flying the ensign of the Soviet Navy?

That matches up with an army (navy) off board card that I was using in the Barbarossa game. No navy in that so just used for army. No other reason.

PS: I would love to add a picture but there no option for me to do this. (Attachment Option shows not up. Links & image links are not allowed) :-/

You need approximately 10 posts before you can attach pictures, due to the forum’s anti-spam software.

Thanks for the clarification! So I’m looking forward to join more discussions (insted of just reading them :roll:) to gain the needed number of postings.
