Folding Game Table

What does it cost?

I will buy the copy you have right on the spot.

If you cant be bothered to sell it. I understand such things. But please submit all the files including the artwork, and plan for creating the table. I will have one specifically created as an exact copy ASAP.

Email or PM me thanks!

That is very slick.

I would find more details on the construction interesting.

Dimensions folded and set up?

How much does it weigh?

Do you think it could be built lighter without sacrificing strength?

Is it completely from scratch?

What kind of magnetizing stuff did you use and where did you find it?

Where did you get the map graphics?

Does it have some sort of plexi over the maps or is the glare I noticed just laminate on the boards?

That is nice.

Get a rolling box and you’re all set

I think this is the Tournament table

I’ll go out in my garage and make a deluxe-table, I can do this better, man

Very nice!

Maybe make it a tri-fold like the map in the box is?  But other then that, very nice!  (Does it come in mahogany and gold leaf? hehe)

well can you at least upload the file for the map and the production chart here:

Mediafire.com

any file download possible.

Wow, that’s incredible! Awesome job you did. 100 man-hours is definitely a lot of free time taken up, but in the end is obviously very worth it. I would give my right arm to have that table!

That is an amazing setup, I’m envious. The sheer work alone, 100 hrs of your time is a very impressive feat. You should market these to the hardcore A&A players, you’d probably make some good coin. I love the map that you put on there, along with the leaders of each nation, it makes the board look very imposing and adds a deeper historical aspect to the game.

AK_Satchel:

You are my new best friend. I will begin on working on my own table.

I can only stress that you publish the exact idea on this site and ill make sure it goes to the front page.

I think its the best picture of anything i have seen so far sake my own AARHE 1939 map.

If you can benefit the collective membership with a small diagram, i will redraw it in Illustrator and make it like a proper instruction sheet for everybody to make their own table. Everybody must make this as it is our most important task so help me god.

I also need to know how you made those amazing flag tokens, where do you buy the piece to place the decal flag on?

I will make a sheet of decals unless you also have this file.

Also, need the production sheet, because its slamming good>

This table is like more than amazing and their is not word that can express how envious i am of you right now. Its like I wont be able to even sleep at nights knowing somebody made that table and its not me…. :-( :x :oops: :cry:

:-D
Wow, that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!
Great job!

What are the dimensions of the map?  Is it possible to get a double set of chess boards on the back without too much spill over?  Might have to do that. (Or Chess/Chinese Checkers would work too, I think.)

Hmm, man, you really kicked up a fire storm Satchel!

Anyway, I probably won’t have the time to put together a table.  Though, I do have the materials on hand to do it.  Just too lazy. :)  I’d rather be the first member to break 50,000 posts I think. grin

Jenn: Get your significant other to get off the couch and start getting to work.

Thats what men are for and that table is more than something special, having painted pieces and a custom table is the ultimate thing to have bar none. Think of the intimidation factor when people come over to play, plus having it will no doubt add to the fun of playing.

If you ever get tired of it it will sell for twice what you paid.

You can even get an old folding table and modify it with a inlaid border so you can drop the map and plexiglass into the recess. I am searching the internet for folding tables that would be suitable. Ill post what i do find.

If I do it, it will be a table made from teak or mahogany and rubbed to a brilliant shine.  Then I’ll have the national crests emblazoned in gold leaf.

As far as pieces go, I already have pewter pieces that are custom painted.  I’d just break them out of storage for actual game play. :)  Right now they are in a sealed display case.

Of course, I may want to hire an artist to paint up the map instead of using a game board or something.  Just to make it fancier.  And I’ll have to put a Plexiglas shield over it to protect it from coffee spills. (Or beer for those less refined players.)

That’s the problem.  It isn’t lack of money or materials, it’s that the more I get into the spirit of it, the more fancy it gets and that means more time I have to spend working on it.

Hence, I think it would be easier to make sure I post every 15 seconds for the next 3 years without break then to actually get around to starting and finishing this project!

Hell, it took me 3 months to put the family crest on my bathroom floor in tile!  It’s not even that extravagant a crest!!!  (And it did annoy my husband having to walk on an unfinished floor, but it is HIS bathroom, so it’s no skin off my nose if he is uncomfortable.  After all, I birthed two children for him, you think THAT’s comfortable!?!)

But if you had it finished, people would want to play and the table would put fear in their heart and cause them to lose because anybody with an official AA table has GOT to mean business. Its sooo…. intimidation now isn’t it?

Anyway Antholin, i need the version of the map that has the generals embossed in the map.

I think the table in a good solid Oak, with a medium stain and high gloss Poly finish…
Plexiglass to protect the map (and can be drawn on at need and able to be erased)

Drink holders and a box at each end of the table to roll dice in…

And spend a boat load of cash and buy Minis for the units…

OK, now we are cooking with gas!
