@ Imperious Leader

thank you for the link, we try to play it with those rules because atm we play only
the global map 1940.

@Star

we printed the map by a online poster-print-shop like posterjack.com (Germany)
and costs 250euros, the whole project (map, table, miniatures, special A&A Dice
and some other little stuff) costs much more than 1500 euros.

The miniatures are from the whole world, we’ve buy’d a lot in US ebay, from Japan
and some shops like http://www.tabletop-store.com/kat/Axis-&-Allies-Miniatures-C1283.html,
the problem is to find the smaler miniatures from the different countrie’s, primary the most tanks are too
big for the map wo we bought first some Booster Packs and Starter Packs to see the dimensions from
the miniatures.
Next problem is to find the transport ships of all the different countrie’s, these are very rare also all german
miniatures, these are the favorite ones for you american guys  :-D

Thanks for the quick reply Streifenkarl!

So you use miniatures from the starter/booster packs and the rest you find on ebay, is that correct?

And I’m from Die Niederlande by the way ;)

Vielen dank,

Because of the good quality of the map from Imperious Leader we could
realise the size of this great map. We wait wishfully for the global map 1940
(AAP & AAE)

@Imperious Leader

Yes the great war map is awesome too but we played it only a few times with
rules 9.0. did you have any link with the new rules pls? this forum is a little wired
for us german krauts :-D

You’re right this is the wrong post because i didnt find your original AA50 map post,
we play this map with the original rules from the aniversary edition and some other
inventions.

Greetings from great Bavaria

(And now we quit, we go to the Oktoberfest :) )

WOW Streifenkarl, that is just AWESOME!!

How did you print that map so big (or where did you do that) and what did it cost?

Also, where did you get that miniatures from?

Thanks,

Star

sweet  :mrgreen:

Could you tell me a bit more about your set?

How many people can play? Do you have any pictures of them (or maybe your complete setup?)

Thanks once again!

Star

@coachofmany:

Imperious leader has many good maps and rules on this site as well as game tokens, boards that can be downloaded an printed out.
Many others have posted good house rules that can be added to your own game.
There are a wealth of great ideas and places to get miniatures for the game.
If you stay with the out of the box miniatures, it will be the cheapest.
I use 1/72 infantry, 1:285 tanks, mechs, 1/700 aircraft , and 1/2400 ships for my 48"x 96" board, but they are not cheap.

Hey Coach,

Thanks for your reply! I hope you don’t mind me asking what you paid for your set of miniatures
I have checked out the things you pointed out, thanks for that, much appreciated!

Hello All,

Being a newb when it comes to playing A&A, I am a very very big fan of the genre and games like this.

I was about to buy the AA Europe and Pacific to play together, but then I found some pictures on this forum of bigger self-made maps.

This made me decide I want this as well!

I want to play on a huge (self-made) map, using the pdf’s offered here and then buy (better looking and bigger) miniatures.
Also I will need the rules and all other attributes that come with the original game.

I have been trying to find the things above, but there is a lot out there and because I have almost no experience with the game I find it hard to decide what I need.

So I would like to ask for your advice!

To recap: The goal is to play on a huge world map (at least 118’’ x 60’'). I would like to be able to both play heads up (1 vs 1) and multiplayer (i.e. 3-6 players?). Furthermore I want good looking miniatures and not the standard plastic ones (but depending on the price, I might stick with standard after all) and I dislike the cardboard factories etc, so I would like to have 3d models of those.

Also there are different sets of rules out there and I would like to have advice on which are the best (most realistic) ruleset to use.

I highly appreciate your input!
