New National Production & National Objectives Chart

@Gharen:

Where did you get the spray adhesive and foam board, local hobby store or ….?  Thanks for posting picks by the way, looks great.

You can get the foam core from an art store or craft store. The spray adhesive I got from the craft store as well. It’s made by Krylon. 3M makes a good one as well.

Do you just print the Nat’l Prod chart Landscape on the legal paper then? Or is that pic on a regular 8.5X11"??

Thanks in advance.

That’s the legal size one. I took an 10X20 piece of photo paper, cut it down, and put that in the printer.

I would also recommend having them printed out through a photo center (I use Costco out here).  I just had the 13.5x8.5 printed out for $2.99 and I’ll glue it with spray adhesive onto foam board.  The photo is durable and I haven’t had any trouble with bleeding when using spray adhesive.  Since 8.5x13.5 isn’t a photo size, I had to put the image on a 12x18 file in photoshop and save as back to a .jpg for uploading.  This also will eliminate any loss to cropping as well.

I’ve done a lot of A&A homebrew projects this way and haven’t been disappointed yet.

Thank you Bob for your work, I look forward to having your setup charts.

You could sell these on the side.

Hey Bob,

Just was curious, is there any progress on the set-up charts?

Thanks!

Yeah printing these new charts on glossy photo paper and mounting them on the foam is a great idea.  Just gotta do some trim/smoothing of the edges of the foam but sure beats the junk that came with the original game.  I mean seriously, just a tiny strip to put units nearby for fighting cause they sure as heck wont fit on there.  Thanks a million Bob, everyone appreciates your hard work and dedication that you have put into this project thus far.  I tip my hat to you sir!

Here are a few things I put together using Bob’s chart and board.

The National Production/Objectives Chart is resized to be printed out by a photo processing place on a 12x18 enlargement.  Resizing Bob’s file cut down the sharpness of the text but it reads just fine.

The other items are mini battle boards that are numbered and match the tokens that are also in this folder.  All of these are in 5x7 size and also ready to printed.  I find these useful when playing with my less experienced friends who like to conduct combat then try to slip in other pieces or use units in two different combats  :-D  Also useful when not playing on a big board.  I bought a 1" punch from a craft store to cut out the tokens.

Thanks for the update Bob! I cannot wait to use your new charts when they are finished. These are of much better quality than anything produced by WotC.

Yes they are. I’ve been using your other stuff for a few games now and appreciate having it.
