Cheers ;)
Yeah that’s what I also plan on doing, building a table around the map and containers…
Going to wait though and see what layout best suits out group (i.e. Where do we usually roll the dive (left? Right?), where do we place out cards etc).
Thanks again :)
I then went online and found some containers at, imagine this thecontainerstore.com that I wanted to use for holding the units etc…
Hey Aaron, great table!!!
Can I ask what the measurements were on these containers? Or better yet, a link to the exact containers you ended up purchasing?
They look great, good size and appear stackable too for when the game/table is all packed up yeah?
Cheers
Pushing my luck, but could you steer me in the right direction to find a big blown up version of the Spring '42 map?
The links I’ve tried haven’t worked :(
Can this map be used to play games of '42 on?
Or are the territories and sea zones different?
Thanks John, but that wasn’t quite my question… I don’t want to play “G40” - just use it’s (bigger) map to play '42 on… Is this possible?
This option wood mean I can, at a later stage, expand out and purchase both Europe and Pacific editions, and then play G40 once my knowledge base, experience and tactics/strategy have improved :)
Google image search fixed me up…
Mine is the Spring 1942 (green box) version…
Not the 1942 second ed (red box) one…
Now I’ve clarified that, is the “G40” map compatible? There’s the same number of territories and sea zones etc?
I figure that (providing it’s ok) if I print out the G40 map, I can use that for my games and give us more room etc :)
Will double check the box when I get home, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t…
How bad is my newbieness shining through? LD
I’m going to assume that 1942.2 is “2nd edition”?
I’m not entirely sure :)
My rule book has “AH games”, “WotC” and “Hasbro” branding on the back cover and is copyright in 2004, 2008 and 2009…
So I’m going to assume it’s 1942.2?
Is the “Global” map (which is A&A Europe and Pacific combined if I’ve followed correctly) compatible with the (Spring) 1942 edition? As in, is it the 1942 map once the other two are joined together, but bigger?
Hi all,
I’m a brand spankin’ new A&A player, and have only just picked up the “Spring 1942” edition of the game and love it.
I’ve really enjoyed reading all of the articles on various tactics and strategies etc that people employ.
I’m no stranger to table top wargaming and have spent many an hour (far too many) and more of my hard earned than I should hvae playing Warhammer 40,000 and other various (GW) games… Blood Bowl and Epic 40,000 mainly…
Also of great interest to me are the tables people have built for their sets to enhance (and simplify) the game play!!
One thing I have struggled with is trying to figure out what version of the game people are talking about / referring to…
My next step is to locate an upscaled map to have printed so we’re not so crammed in :)
If it’s ok with the admins, I’d like to leave this thread “open” to post up any other questiosn I have along the way - sort of a “newbies guide to A&A” that others might be able to get something from also as they begin playing and come across this forum…
Cheers for now :)
