What's on your table right now?

That is a HUGE Axis and Allies map. Wow.

@GJK I think I saw a module of CCA for Vassal. I'll need to look again and set it up again on my desk top. I cleaned a bunch of programs off a month or so ago.

The plan is to setup a scenario from ASLSK 1 on the counter this afternoon during my free man time.

Ya need a big table for this one. plus a few sides. Axis & Allies 1940 Global

How big is that map? I've been thinking about making a gaming table and I'd like to know the upper end of something like that.

The table looks to be in the 8' X 4' or 8' X 3' range.

Let MAN TIME begin!

This is the project I've got ahead of me this afternoon. That right it's a bunch of sorting out ASLSK chits. Now if I only knew who the hell the grey chits represent in the expansion #1 set. All I know is it isn't the Germans they are blue.

Poles or Slovaks? Italians? Finns? What are the vehicle types in the same color?

Bison · September 14, 2013, 12:56:12 PM

I'm thinking Italian. There is a scenario with Italian coastal units, which coincides with the grey counter numbers.

GJK · September 14, 2013, 01:06:30 PM

The Germans are lt. blue. Finns/Italians would be lt. gray. Axis minors are dk. green. Allied minors lt. green. All of the blue counters in Exp pack 1 are Germans. This is a good close up of the countersheet included with Exp pack 1: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/961151/advanced-squad-leader-starter-kit-expansion-pack-1?size=original

I'm actually working on my Starter Kit travel kit as well for gaming later tonight. You need to have yours looking like this by the end of the day Bison:

;D

Bison · September 14, 2013, 01:17:12 PM

LMFAO! OK buddy will do!

Staggerwing · September 14, 2013, 02:02:18 PM

Does he also have to have then all clipped by then as well? :D

Well duh...you can't play ASL with unclipped counters! ;)

I clipped my Starter Kit set with a nail clipper and a jig that I had made from a CD jewel case. I've since gotten the corner rounder tool from Oregon Laminations that I posted about some time ago. I'll use it to clip my regular ASL set (which is 5 times the size of the SK set). Not in a big rush to start that project just yet....

Bison · September 14, 2013, 02:25:37 PM

Finished to semi-GJK standard ASLSK1 and Expansion #1 counter organization project. I still need to seperate the various markers and of course clip my counters. Sorry for being so lazy boss.

Bison · September 14, 2013, 02:29:18 PM

Next man time project today:

Cut out and organize counters of MMP's South Mountain, which fittingly enough happened on this day in 1862.

GJK · September 14, 2013, 03:24:04 PM

Wow, some serious man-time for you today! Good job on the SK counters. Now we just need to get some games in for you!

I'm a huge fan of the CWBS (Civil War Brigade Series for those unfamiliar) games; I did a number of VASSAL modules for them. I never played the RSS (Regimental) games - just too big for me. It would be awesome to watch a group play it though. Have a number of commanders for each side, each receiving and writing orders. That would quite awesome actually.

I do have Dean Essig's game from his newer LoB series (which updates the brigade series). I didn't pre-order the Gettysburg game though but kinda wished I had.
