Hi Thornbergz... I purchased all of my magnets from this site (www.apexmagnets.com). To be honest, I am not sure of what sizes i used for all of my pieces as that was so many months/years ago. I can tell you that they are very small (2mm - 3mm in diameter depending on the unit or item). And yes... I do have a very large piece of sheetmetal that i had cut specifically to fit on my table which is underneath the map. It provides for a very nice gaming experience.

Hello patrik…. I had a printer printed it that would size it according to my table size. The size of the map is roughly 85” x 39”. I do offer this map through combatminiatures.org. You will have to ask rich (owner of the site) as to what sizes he offers and if he will do custom sizes

Hello NZLAR... Thank you for your compliment. Yes, you can buy the Axis and Allies G40 version of the map on combatminiatures.org. I am coming out with another version in the next month or so with all new artwork. I hope this translation works for you on your end. Cheers

Hey Christoph! Yes I do rem! Ha so glad you could you meet up with Adalwolf. That is really great news that you have shared. You are so right about OOB pieces vs. painted up pieces. It is a great hobby to immerse yourself into. Thanks so much for touching base. Glad to hear all is good on your end

Oh and yes I would love to play those other games but of course there is no one around me that has them lol. Maybe if I come to Munich I can indeed play!!

Hey Krogg…. Thanks for subscribing and your comment. Yes you are probably correct on the “reference” image I used for inspiration before painting up the sculpt. The actual sculpt is a KV-2 per HBGs site. You will love the decals. Just adds one more level of detail that makes any sculpt come alive! Good luck and have fun

Hey Hogg… that is a great question. I have asked this to myself at one point as well. I think it helps to ensure full coverage of paint on the sculpt. I have found it easier to see “grey” poking through after you have sprayed the first coat of your primary color. Some pieces are hard to get full coverage because of the fine details of the sculpt and can be overlooked. I suppose you could skip that step all together.

Ok. Thank you. I prefer Rust-Oleum (Satins) as well. It is tough enough for outside furniture, so gaming pieces is a breeze for it to cover and protect. In the future, I plan to spay it in small glass bottles like Testors does so I can have an infinite variety of Custom Colors & Shades to mix for my own . . . . all pre- Primed an ready to go, as it were!!

⁠​⁠@@HoggRidduhsounds interesting. Spray it in bottles? Please explain a tad more please

Yes, I purchased these Spray Paint accessories . . . . *_1)_* Uprok 2 finger wing adapters convert male spray paint cans to female from male. *_2)_* Needle Caps Graffiti Art Spray paint tips Bombing Trains Walls NYC. So, I can spray my Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Paint into 20ml glass bottles. I also plan on making most of the Colors look Metallic like you did with that very nice Metallic Matte Evening Navy Blue. On, this site Hobbylinc the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier Waterline, this guy *_j14diehl_* has the very last pictures and that is how I would like *_ALL_* of my Ships to look, no matter what Colors they will be. I want them all to have that Metal Sheen to them. Thank you.

@@HoggRidduhwow! Ok mmmm I am going to have to look into this! Sounds ver interesting and thanks for sharing this info with me!

OOooooo Man! Thank you so much for your review. Warms my heart to know that your next game play will be quite memorable. Have fun and enjoy!

@@Lt.Dan.. You're welcome! I showed some pictures of the board to my friends and they are digging the map too! It makes playing much more fun and engaging!

Hey bennickell…. I made them. Here is a video I created many moons ago describing what I did. I still use them today. I really like them. ua-cam.com/video/RotzkE7M-kA/v-deo.htmlsi=fOfcR_Xpo23dO0mC

MMMmmm... that might be a good call since I am NOT making my units look 100% since I am keeping the base colors as set by Sired to be able to identify the armies easily while playing. I will do that to my next units I am giving a face lift too... Japan. Will see how that looks then start implementing that for all. Thanks MT! Saw one of your last vids a few days ago... your pieces look amazing. I am sure they are inspiring others.

@@Lt.Dan.. Thanks Lt. Dan! It's interesting how we all inspire one another😉. I'm inspired by you - and the first inspiration came from Dtroy's wonderful videos from years ago👍

Hey Corporal Clegg! Glad to hear from you. Yes I am still learning for sure but I have come a long ways. This KV2 is one of my favorites on the table. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Cheers!

Thanks admiral!

Thank you sir…. I know you love them armor!

@@Lt.Dan..I certainly do!

Hey that’s a great idea…. Will have to pick up some when o go there next time. Thanks for the tip MT!

Hi Oliver…. I will have to do just that. My Japanese units are needing a facelift. I will add that to my list. Thanks for the comment and stopping by.

Your welcome

The yamato is my favorite ship

And your kv 2 looks amazing

@@OliverLaskoski thanks….. they are of my favorites on my table for sure

Thank you sir. Well the territories are specific to the game…. By adding more territories would definitely effect gameplay for sure. I just added some visual historical stimulation to the game. Wanted to give an immersive feeling when playing. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!

Hey Smoke! Thanks and thanks. Good to hear from ya

Thanks PC! thanks for stopping by and is always great to hear from you as well.

I am with you Jose! Certainly enhances gameplay. That is my goal for this year is to touch units that do not have much going for them other than a base coat. Want to bring a subtle realism to each fighting force.

Hey Cobra.... yes. I am with you. Although I have seen other's painted pieces and they were very nicely done (realistic) I found it very hard to identify who was who on the map. I have just chosen to work with the base color of each faction and then add a little bit of realism to each piece without going overboard on "perfection".

Hey Charles.... I have heard of doing what you do but have not seen the steps that you have provided. I will keep this in mind the next time I start from scratch. I have not had any issues though thus far with chipping of paint and so on. I can see how removing things you cannot see with the eye would help though. thanks for the tips

Hi….. BBR (Bloodbath Rules) is the rule set or name of the variant that Siredblood created and BBV is the 5th version of the game. I just removed the R and replaced with the Roman numeral, “V”.

Also…. This variant is based off of Axis and Allies G40

@@Lt.Dan.. interesting just now hearing of these home rules. Looking at the forum I see a post referencing 5 game and went and is on 6.x or something already. I also cannot for the life of me find a full ruleset, do you happen to have links? Thanks!!!

yah it is great stuff. If you know G40 then there are a layer of rules on top of the ones you already know. Siredblood is in process in moving all of the download stuff to a discord community. Go to discord and look for the "Bloodbath" community. I am new to discord so do not know all the "ends and outs". Once you get into this group... there is a channel called "Bloodbath Essentials" and in there is an to download things. I hope this helps.

Thanks Z! Appreciate the comment. I am slowly upgrading all my forces as we speak. Will have more videos in the future but more step by step and less talking. I enjoy that

Thanks Chris! Glad you like and love it that I have inspired you. I enjoyed the quiet time painting and thinking. I have a whole bunch more that I need to paint now that I have my core set done. Just got done renovating my bunker. Need to make a video of that next!

Thank you for your compliment. Today I dont offer this without the swastika or rising sun. The only options I have are listed in the description. Combat miniatures does a one stop buy and print service. Is the best way to go instead of worrying about who and how to pay and print.

Thank you Alberto…. They are a few favorites I enjoy having on my table

Yes… I like them a lot!

Thank you my friend…. Stay tuned I have more to share. Have been working 1.5 years on my bunker

Hello Alberto…. Thank you. You can download all of the BBR information from the DOWNLOADS section on the BBR site located at Siredblood.com/community. You will have to register to gain access. It is free to do so. Please note that I do not control that site. Thank you again for your support and kind words

@@Lt.Dan.. Thanks for the feedback. Today I received the shipping notice for the mat. Yes, I am registered but I have been waiting for several days for the web admin to register my profile. I think there are several users who sometimes have this problem. It will be time to wait, although it is surprising that they are not accessible elsewhere. I think it's a great customization job at all levels. All the best

@@JUKspn I am sorry to hear. I am currently away BUT this coming weekend I can make things available to you through my gdrive.

@@Lt.Dan.. Would be great! Thank you so much!

@@JUKspn Good morning... please send me your GMAIL email address and I will hook it up to my gdrive with all the downloads for BBR. Send to "thedano1965 AT GMAIL DOT COM"

Thank you Alberto

Hey cam… thank you so much for your appreciation. I hope to inspire all, especially you ,to create knowing that I started from an idea in my head. And yes I wanted to keep all propaganda wwii themed. Are you speaking of the one German soldier in the collage of characters in the Indian Ocean? Great eye if that is the case! I just loved that one and had to include it. Thanks so much for calling it out. You are the first!

Not sure what the board looks like for that a version BUT this one is specifically for G40 but you could look to see what that board looks like compared to G40

Haha…. Thanks. You should see what I have done since that last video! I will have to make another video soon

@@Lt.Dan.. I'm a wood worker and you have done magic for your first try very impressive. Going to start my table, thanks for inspiring me!👋🎯🏆

@@Lt.Dan.. and I think you still have all your fingers so woodworking is your art obviously.

@@Happyfsscist33 wow thanks for that compliment. It’s amazing what you can learn on YT when you have a vision or a desire to accomplish something

@@Happyfsscist33 ha yah there were you few close calls and lessons learned on “note to self…. Do not do that again” 😅

Thanks!

Not sure I understand. Japan has their rising sun roundel in Siam

Ahhhh nuts! This could never happened 😂😅

@@Lt.Dan.. well if it is you, we'll played sir!

@@thenedley0913 haha no it isn’t me but funny that you thought of me. Good luck!

Ended up going 22 rounds and the Germans were too powerful. I resigned instead of drawing it out further.

Hey Cesar… Show me where I should place some and I will consider for the next release

Awesome. Well the the squadron flew 96 combat missions. They helped bomb Luzon in the Philippines and Formosa .they supported the U.S 25th infantry division fifty three times. Also a dive bombing giant the port of Karenko. Totaling putting 30,000 Japanese troops out of action

Always adding more! Next release will be most likely mid 2024 since sired has stopped all changes. My next release will be a biggie is all I can say 😍

Hey Andy …. Well depends on the thickness of your plexiglass. You might have to UP your sizes because of the plexi. I use APEX magnets and they will tell you the pull force for the magnets. Also when I was designing my table I researched various gauges of metal and what pull force of magnets I needed to make it all work. Don’t have that website since that was a long time ago but you can do a little research and make a good estimate and buy a small quantity to test things. That’s what I did to get dip my toes into it

@@Lt.Dan.. thanks for the info! What is your map printed on? I’m mainly worried about not scratching it but the main purpose is I’m planning on making a classic map with magnetized pieces and framing it for my dad to hang in his man cave so really, scratching shouldn’t be that big of an issue and I may not need the plexiglass over that map.

@@andybates2966 u bet! The material I print on now is super smooth 15oz vinyl. I no longer have to spray a polyurethane coating over this material which is awesome. BUT…. I have sanded ALL the bottoms of my pieces to ensure there are no “gotchas”. As a side note ORIGINALLY I too was going to hang my map on the wall and frame it but I challenged myself with building the table. Still want to have my map on the wall framed…. Would be cool

@@Lt.Dan.. thanks for the info! I’m hoping to do this for my dads 60th birthday in July and if I manage to pull it off I’ll post it on siredbloods site!

@@andybates2966 awesome can’t wait to see!

Hi qumonk…. All the info is in the description. Thanks for stopping by

Thanks brother. Appreciate you stopping by and Happy Holidays!

Hey Juan… thanks for dropping by. You can download everything you need including the rulebook at Siredblood.com/community (then go to the downloads section) OR you can purchase a lot of things at Combat miniatures too including the rulebook.

Finally I received this map today! Great quality from Combat Miniatures. One thing that it seems I missed when ordered this map is that is not fully compatible with BBR V.. That’s on me but my question is what do I need to add to make it BBR V compatible? Thanks for your help

@@Navarone_1943 oh man that’s too bad. There are many things added or changed. Would be too many to cover. See if you can send your map back to combat miniatures and then pay the shipping for combat miniatures to have the BBR map sent to you. Worth a try I guess.

Great news PC. Has been quite awhile since I have heard from you. Glad to see you are still at it. Thanks for the interest

@@Lt.Dan.. Yeah, its been an eventful and busy year for me. Plan to get back into my channel. I just purchased your G40 w/o color map. I will have to do an open box or unrolled map video!

@@theplasticcommando7394 awesome…. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to see it!

Thank you sir!

Great… glad you like 👍🏻

Thank you sir
