How to fix board warping problem

Wow, you will always have my back man. Thank you! :)

i know there are quite a few threads (or posts in some threads) that talk about getting that printed so give them a search

Instead of this: Gain 5 IPCs if Axis powers control at least one of the following territories: Hawaiian Islands, Australia, and/or India

Japan’s 3rd National Objective should read:

Gain 5 IPCs if Axis powers control at least one of the following territories: Hawaiian Islands, and/or Australia_

great idea, or make it two of the three (HI, Aussie, India)

@Lynxes:

As I said UK will gladly spend 8 IPCs to block several subs from being used against the invading fleet.

One DD can only block 1 one sub.

Ger attacks with 1 sub and air (66% shot UK dd misses), then Ger Non-Coms remaining subs to other szs and replaces new sub in Sz 5.

Now the Allies need a DD to take out the sub (if survived) in Sz 6 as well as the other subs that could have moved to Sz 3 or sz 7.

Just like the Allies aren’t going to move a fleet to Sz 6 if Ger can attack heavy, Germany isn’t going to move a bunch of subs so 1 DD and tons of Allied air can sink them.  It is a bit of a cat and mouse game, but 1 Ger sub can force the UK to use at least TWO DDs (one to block sz 6, which gets killed, and the one needed to sink the Ger sub in Sz 6 if suvived the attack on the DD).  The Allies then need additional dds to sink any remaining subs that scatter.

At somepoint the Allies need to go to Sz 6 fairly heavy, just to stop the negative trade of 1-2 dds for 1 sub.  Thats a worst case +2 for Ger and potentially a best case +10 ipc for Ger for one turn.  (depends on how long or how many rounds the constant trade of sub for dd lasts).

I just used some painters tape. A few small pieces on the seams and it was perfect. When done just remove tape and store the boards on the box.

@Craig:

The control markers on the edge of the board,are those for country rankings,for the IPC’s?

Yes.  I placed an IPC track along the outer edge of the board.

That’s a great idea.  Do you have magnets under your control markers so they don’t move around?

Mind posting a copy of your IPC tracking strip for the rest of us, it’s a great idea.

I’m also interested in where you got the cool clamps you use to keep the board together.  It sounds like we’re going to need something like that for the AA50 OOB map.

No magnets.

The IPC track is just something I whipped up with MS Word.  Nothing special.  Just make your own chart and then cut it into long strips.

If you look closely, I actually have a paper copy of the playtest map sandwiched between plexiglass and a piece of hardboard.  Then I just used some clips that are meant to be used on glass cabinet doors.

I do agree that there may be a need to come up with some kind of clips to hold the map sections together but I don’t think that these are applicable.
