Just to add an extra comment here: I’m not sure I’m understanding the original question correctly, but if it means “what is the footprint (length x width) of every sculpt in the game?” my reaction would be that this information a) would take a lot of work to compile and b) is unnecessary for designing a custom map. To make sure that a custom map is large enough, all that’s really needed are three measurements: the dimensions of the Anniversary game board, the dimensions of the largest naval sculpt in the game (which is probably either the Japanese battleship or the American aircraft carrier), and the dimensions of the largest sculpt in the game which can be positioned on a land territory (which I think would be the American B-17 bomber). If custom map’s sea and land territories are big enough to handle those large sculpts, then they’ll be big enough to handle the smaller ones.
Have you heard of the FMG A&A pieces?

Guys,
I don’t know how many folks here scan all the boards, but there is a fellow that formed a company called Field Marshall Games, FMG for short. He is making accessories for A&A and is about to release new pieces for the A&A games. The first release will be a complete set of Italian pieces. The other nations will follow and I think this is going to be a great thing. If you have time, check out this thread.

It is already over 35 pages, so it will take a long time to read. But the essence is he is about to take the next step and take pre-orders for the Italian pieces. I bought a set of special dice from FMG and I am happy with them. He is also selling a dice tower. He plans to add other stuff. I hope he gets plenty of support so he can fund the development of all his projects. Take a look.

Hey dinosaur,
That news is PREHISTORIC. But thanks for the trip down bad memory lane.
I have a set of FMG dice, but they couldn’t roll thier way through a wet paper bag! I let my friends use them, but they quickly catch on because I won’t. :s
care for a game? or are such a fossil that you only play the new ones?

Good idea, now lets do this at BGG

“Prehistoric” for many perhaps, but not everyone reads the variants section.
And what are you going on about with the dice? I won’t play with anything but!

If you’re such a believer, mail me yours, and I’ll mail mine back.
I’m not sure if mine got melted in a microwave, but, we charted 150 rolls for 3 countries and logged them. The worst result being with Germany you were 34% more likely to roll a 5, than a 1 or 2 combined.
Most other countries were as bad. It’s beyond raw probability and statistics at that point, and there is nothing worse then a game that keeps going on and on, because ppl are all constantly rolling so badly sub par.

Atleast I don’t spam the forum in CAPS.
