@crockett36 teaching 1940 global is going well. The game club is only about an hour long and so we take pictures and baggie up all the pieces from the board at the end of each session. The club meets once a week but we are only doing a&a every other week. So now we are three weeks in to the game and next session will start with germanys 3rd turn. The kids have different levels of general game experience and 2 of them have actually played the original from the 80s. So im weighting my advice to them to help balance. Also i did not go through a big info dump at the begining but rather just jumped right in and just sorta walked each of them through their turns. Some kids are picking it up faster than others allowing me spend a little less time walking some through their turns and instead helping those other nail down the basics of the mechanics. I think we may finish this game come January or February. By then, all the kiddos will know how to play, maybe not well but just how.

Great Lakes 8 player every person for themselves
Hey folks, I got back into axis and allies at gencon. While back at home I dug up an incomplete project for an 8 player, no teams map. I’m not done labeling all the spots on the map but here’s the pics so far. Also, I’m not an artist it’s not pretty but let me know what y’all think.

RE: Great Lakes 8 player every person for themselves
@redrum making this into a playable triple a map is a goal of mine, but i have only just mow started to look into that process. I also want to get it printed on a roll up mat so i can take it to orgins and gencon in 2020. Also, i will need more of the italian, anzac, and french models. I have plenty of the other nation’s troup from multiple different versions of axis and allies.
