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.

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.

@CorporalClegg Thank for your reply.
Yes I did see those, but i thought I didn’t need two separate versions and I am very fond of your layout. So if you one decide to make the last 4 cards to play global, and you would like to share please let me know :-)

@Call77 A bit late to the party, but if you don’t mind, I’d really appreciate those PDFs!

I’ll try that. Thanks for the tip!

@Tottes1337 all versions (previous and current) of the BBR cards are also available for purchase here:

If you want a free download, they are available on the discord (link should be above).

Sorry can’t help you with this one.  I have no talent in this matter…
