These are the links with the roundels.

Once you’ve printed your roundels on round adhesive labels, an inexpensive way to mount them is to stick them on bingo chips.  You can buy bulk bags of bingo chips at very reasonable prices (along the lines of 1,000 chips for $25), and they come in a variety of colors and sizes (3/4" and 7/8").  Some places even sell both transparent and solid-color models.  I ordered mine from a place in Illinois called Mr. Chips.  The only modification some of them needed was a little bit of sanding at one point of their circumference where a rough spot (I assume from the production mold) could sometimes be felt.

I need to find some roundels other than what IL has provided.

Which kind you want? I just posted a few of them.

Well I am not exactly sure yet, but I know I want something with a swastika for Germany and I am looking for a different Italian roundel.

There’s a nice picture of the Italian Regia Aeronautica wing roundel here:

The third one pictured is the one i have plus another modified one are in these the roundel files.

I don’t do the swastika however

Wondering if anyone has done roundels for other Axis minors, such as Romania, Hungary & Finland.  I assume these will be subsumed into the German forces in AAE40, but I like the idea of the Romanians being controlled by Italy and the Magyars by Germany.  These two nations hated each other and had to be separated on the eastern front.

@Flashman:

….the Romanians being controlled by Italy and the Magyars by Germany.  These two nations hated each other and had to be separated on the eastern front.

Except it should be the other way around. Hungary was friendly to Italy, and hated Austrians. Rumania had a large ethnic german population, and was friendly to Germany.

The Austrians and Hungarians were on quite amicable terms - both nations had an unsigned treaty with Italy to “contain” German agression. That is until Germany and Italy grew close.

Austria and the Chech republic were rather unfriendly to each other

Bulgaria

Finland

Hungarian

Romanian

Italian

For those of you who want a swastika for the Germans, it will NEVER happen.

Two reasons:

1. In Germany, it is illegal for any company to print a swastika on any product or advertisement.  They’re very serious about suppressessing anything related to the Nazi party to keep history from repeating itself.  Therefore, WotC would have to publish two versions of the game in order to sell anything in Germany (possibly all of Europe with the EU adopting the laws of its member nations) which would not be economically viable.

2. It would be a PR disaster.  Some groups would protest and boycott the game, many more people would just be offended and not buy it.  Being a World War II game, the publisher is already skirting the line between historical accuracy and glorification of a war, a country, and its practices.  There is little value gained and much lost by blurring that line more than necessary.

Agreed!

features a few more; Latvia (extinguished June 1940), Croatia, Manchuria, CORRECT DUTCH EAST INDIES.

A few more on my map linked below, including Russian and Ukrainian Nationalists.

Besides, the emblem of the Wehrmacht was the Iron Cross, not the swastika. For all you guys gripe about historical accuracy, the swastika actually isn’t.@purplebaron:

I like using flags as symbols.

Yes but see Iron Crosses make sense within the context of the game, which uses roundels. Also there is really no way the swastika’s going to happen.

Yeah I know, denial, it’s not just a river in Egypt anymore.

stay on topic

Well its too bad we can’t have swastikas, I think they look cool. I guess if the Axis had won the war, we wouldn’t be able to use stars.
