[QUOTE="Henry, post: 890355, member: 158"] No lie: My Oldest and Greatest Gaming Group once created a huge expansion to Axis and Allies (Called creatively enough 'Big Map') on a sheet of mylar that displayed a 4 foot by 8 foot map of the world divided into hundreds of territories A & A-style. They kept the "one d6 per troop" roll, and used hundreds of build points for dozens of new unit types (well, new as of 1970's or so). We used actual plastic ice chests to roll attacks in, because we didn't want all the dice getting away from us. Anything less than 20 dice in an attack was considered a small attack. To me, the game had an intriguing concept but was hideously boring if you had more than 2 players, because turns were about 30 to 45 minutes apiece. But they loved it, and still drag it out on special "get-together" weekends. :) [/QUOTE]
