Thx!

since white dice hit on 1, blue on 1,2, green on 1,2,3 and red on 1,2,3,4. Why mark the pips? Just wondering.

Just came across this in 2023. These boards are great! The Bonus Table and Victory City Counter is top notch. Printing it on card stock tomorrow. Future re-makes and new editions of Axis and Allies should include it!

Very nice acrylic pieces. Very nice indeed, sir!

I Like your house rule . And have one of my own witch works interesting to me , maby I can combine with yours : 1) Players are using tactical cinematic cards ( from expansion ) but players play only one tactical card per combat ( Not every round ) . And ... You can use only upper part ( Special ) of description if you have that unit in the combat. Below action do nothing . 2 ) No healing 3) Red and black hits are assigned by defenders choice , and Direct hits are assigned by attacker as normal . 4) Lightsaber can be played as this tutorial shows , but after that action that leader is fatigued ( you put it down on side to indicate that leader have used his power). In addition player can use any lightsaber color to refresh his leader and bring him up again with exception that leader can only use his ability once per round . Last thing you can do with lightsaber is to bring your opponent leader to fatigue position. Is this make any sense ? adding just a little spice with short and easy using tactical cards in more simple way... and making lightsaber feel like leaders are fighting each other not just fighting each other units ( Make your opponent leader busy with your sword ) , what do you think ?

These look so good

Great idea

Great resource! I printed some off today. I did notice some grammar inconsistencies and unclear rules. Would I be able to contact you to make you aware of them?

Wow!! The VC Chart is amazing! Thank you so much!!

Can you give a ballpark of what a printing place charged to make those?

thanks that is way better.

Its called an "end mill bit" might come in rotary tool kits but i would suggest getting them from a tool and die supplier

You should drill holes at the bottom of your carriers and put magnets under them. That way the base is going to stick to the carrier without some of that dough

Great video! I've watched many videos in preparation to do my own customizations, and your idea of using Blue Tack instead of clamps was unique and something I plan to try myself. Thank you for the idea!

Andy, could you share who printed these for you? It sounded like you took it to some print company or other shop that made all of these for you. I would love to get these! They are really nice! Are you by chance selling them?

National Objectives Diagram chart is a great idea .. id probably blow it up Huge .. put it on a magnetic thin sheet an it can get put on a battle wall

I really like your Damaged Ship markers .. thinner design .. and your longer platform plan will look good Your Factory damaged markers 1-5-10 .. your design i like Task Force Markers are beautiful Are you willing to make any for purchase ?

The combat is a great part of this game. Either one. Not sure why you don’t see the strategy. Git gud. Though I agree rise of the empire makes leaders a tad less useful. Though it punishes you for retreating early so that’s good.

Where can I buy the stands? Or better yet, how do I make the stands?

Thank you for sharing this :)

Just amazing, this is really a upgrade for this fantastic game

I use your great victory city and objetive table. Tanks.

excellent work Andy, I really like your ideas

So heavy advantage to defender in being able to block damage, attacker cannot block/repair damage? I am assuming that surviving units with damage are still repaired automatically after combat is over? The defender already had advantage as it was in expansion by being able to repair damage after attacker rolls(thus the attacker needs to get more hits& the attacker already looses his lightsaber rolls on first round because there is no damage yet), unless of course one uses the proper tactic card(s). But if combat went another round then attacker could repair damage. Big disadvantage to attacker your way. I like the thought and the intention to quicken combat, but this will be at the cost of making it potentially a good deal bloodier for the attacker. Part of the cool thing about either the base or the expansion combat was you got some results where the smaller force was able to survive thanks to tactic cards(attacker or defender). Not sure this will happen in your system unless leaders are onlh one side. I do prefer the expansion over the original, but I am not as fond of re-rolls of the dice. I think perhaps a good use of the tactics cards would be to assign the use of a card(s) if there is a difference in the opposing leaders stats for that combat(space or ground). Example: The Empire has a leader with a 3 ground value. The rebels have a leader with a 2 value, thus the Empire gets one card. This brings some forethought and strategy into play for leaders as often times leaders are stronger in one aspect of combat over the other. Perhaps I have the advantage and get a card in space, but the opponent gets one on the ground in the same system. The strategy of the tactics cards in the expansion was timing and playing the cards at the right time, it is not some random, unthoughtful way of just playing a card. Pair your card(s) with their related units and get more of a pop for that card, or time it with another card that takes an advantage away from the opponent. Also, in the expansion, the tactics cards are somewhat limited in that you have to use them all before using one over again, this gives a player a tough choice at times as to whether to use a card now, or save it for later in favor of a different one. Also, I think this will put too much focus on leaders being needed in combat. The Rebels especially should be doing more missions and only combat when absolutely necessary. Now I would have to limit my leader's missions just to potentially offset the other sides advantage of bringing leaders into combat? In oob or expansion, it was one thing to not have a leader available in combat, but this almost mandates trying to keep leaders available for combat. Maybe I just have to try it out and see, but I do not think this will pan out in the long run. Also, the decision to not allow other leaders to participate in a combat if they were on previous mission seems to penalize the choice of where to conduct missions. A key strategy is to conduct a combat with one leader in a system where you already have a leader, thus an advantage. I see the command phase as being reactive rather than simultaneuos. The leader went on a mission and has already completed it, why not then be able to help in combat? They are leaders, that is one of their advantages. And lastly, the capture leader and detain leader cards and abilities become way more powerfull for the Empire. This will unbalance the game in my opinion. Just some thoughts on the subject. I did enjoy the vid very much and appreciate the perspective. I love to watch other people's ideas and thoughts, even if I do not necessarily agree. Good work, keep it up!

I finally finished cleaning up the markers and put together the file that you can download. The link is in the description. Some of the markers are different from the video because I wanted to change it. I will get these printed soon and make another video with them. Then you can let me know if you prefer the old or new design. Thanks to my friends for your Subs, encouragement, and your support.

You did an awesome job on your markers, Andy. Those task force markers blow me away.

Very helpful stuff for everyone - old and new players alike! I've shared it on my page! Thanks for the great support of our community!

Hey Andy, One thing I noticed that might need clarification on your quick start quide. General Combat 4. Fighters on an ally's carrier are considered cargo and do not participate in battle. This is only in attacking situations. If I am not mistaken fighters on a ally's carrier will still defend. Carrier based aircraft are always considered to be defending in the air. Under unit description: fighters I really like your player aids and charts. Keep up the good work!

Great Vid! Love the quickstart guide and the Victory City Counter! All the aids are top-notch. Well done!

Anyone know if similar files exist for 1940 Global 2nd Edition?

Nice video! Where is the file you mentioned that you were going to post? And do you have a link to the place where you got the acrylics done? Thanks!

in rise exp, its not a block its a repair after dmg is applied

Great concept, I will try it for sure and let you know. I'd rather spend time and strategy on the development of the game rather than the combats. Combats need to go at a faster pace and this might be the solution. Thanks Andy

awesome than you!!

These should be on Etsy or Historical Board Gaming... Great work

Ok I'm starting to love acrylic markers! Really good job here.

DIY Game stuff some of my favorite videos! And everyone either has these lying about or has a neighbor who can save them for you.

Nice idea's! Are those stands homemade? Great idea using that style of bit it has no point to dig too deep

Hey, I just want to say that these are really good! I went through the same exact process as you, wanting inserts just for int he boxes. This was the most inexpensive solution hands down! Thanks for making this available!

Hilltop pillbox

I remember this previously, really love the VC charts and plan to get it for my 2nd favorite version of a@a once I take a break from my lazyness!

Love your markers, but I'm not technologically astute (yes, using your word) to make my own and of course like I said in the other comment "I'M LAZY!!!"

Being poor makes me a cheapskate,so keep these diyourselfers coming! I'm not much of a bread eater, but I would have to be if I want to take your suggestion!!!

Impressive, most impressive! I wish I could of seen your video 3weeks ago, I just finished customizing my dice today but it was a whole lot more complicated and time consuming than yours!! If you watch my video you would see exactly what I mean, I could've save myself a lotta time!!! I just subscribed to you and I hope to be further inspired by your videos, but let's make it inspirational on time this time before I waste any more time,ok?!?!

Nice markers. Really like the task force markers! The pictures really look good in this format. Well done!

Really like that map for national objective

Always cool to see somebody customize their game. Are you going to start painting your pieces?

Nice idea for the map with national objectives ! Good work !

Nice and simple! When you do a game play video, make sure you show us these dice in action!
