Title: Leader minis for the game
Post by: georgemak1 on February 17, 2015, 11:32:16 PM

I don't know how many of you are familiar with shape ways but I would like to share something that I found on it. They make leaders for every major country so we don't have to use the plastic stands anymore but an actual miniature. I'll attach a link for you you guys to check them out, I'll be buying some soon. They also sell airfields, naval bases, u-boat pens, to really pimp your next game. http://www.shapeways.com/shops/ebardmodels

Where did you see the replenishment ships john? I noticed he has sub pens, airfields and floating docks which they can be used with the game. I'm planning on placing a big order soon, personally I believe the general/admiral pieces really cool

I sent the link to Mark - he checked it and the mini is too big to use. I am on a mission to find an oiler that is compatible!

Hey John you can mail the guy at shapeways they can easily resize any mould they have very easy, I do that all the time. Just tell him how much smaller you want them.

Good to know. How do you propose using the minis for leaders?

Gluing them on the counters but they will be hard to see them in the game full of minis. I may try it see how it works out. Put a link of the oilers I'll contact the guy to have him resize them for the  game
