Saw this on an Axis & Allies group on facebook…
The guy bought the map at Historical Board Gaming…
…at $129. 95, that’s a little too rich for my blood!
…but, with my Axis & Allies Miniatures: War at Sea collection, it’s got me to thinking of what I can perhaps make up myself!!! Those minis are 1/1800. Many years back, I actually bought a rather large bolt of blue felt with an idea towards making a War at Sea game map… now, I haven’t played War at Sea in FOREVER, however I’m thinking I’ll dig out the paper game maps and compare. I’m thinking that I can make a pretty version of a felt game map, probably with permanent acrylic pens for the lines.
Whether I can pull this off, it’s worth a thread, right?!?
