I got the map printed for buddy ( not Barons version) and here is a few pics of map and his painted pieces

Should Imperious make a map for this?

People are bugging me for months on this. Personally, i have never played it but own 3 copies. All i know is this is the one with the nifty AA guns in player colors…but no Italy
Does this need a 60 x45 map? What is the OOB map size?
-
Absolutely! In fact I wont get rid of my AA1942 Supreme map until you do. My group is just too used to playing on these nicer and larger maps. I like not having seams too.
Just my opinion though, the OOB map size is 40" x 26" so a 45" width might be a bit big. It’s too wide for a pool table and won’t fit in a standard 36" mailer tube for storage. The 64" x 34" of your AA42 Supreme map was just the right size IMO. It could be placed on a pool table or a 4x8 with just enough room around the periphery for trays and drinks. Might save you some time to just modify the original AA1942 supreme.
Love your maps and look forward any new edition.

the OOB map size is 40" x 26"
a 50% upgrade in size would make it 60 x 39
The 64" x 34" of your AA42 Supreme map was just the right size
To keep the same perspective the ratio of size must be kept. Is 60 x 39 big enough or go more than 50% larger?
-
That size will be fine IMO :-D Can’t wait to have it printed out.
-
I would love it if you did this map. You think you will?
-
Need more support for this. Not making it unless many people want it. It takes many hours to do this and i wouldn’t even print out my own copy, so this would be a utilitarian gift.
-
I’d be very interested in this. Though, as this would be my first giant map, can anyone tell me the best way to print it out for use? :|
-
AAA flag and banner. All done via internet. They mail in a tube and no gimmicks
I just need more than say 30 people to say “make this”
100+ hours of my time won’t go wasted then. Also, to motivate me get me a great scan of the 2nd edition map so i can trace it.
-
I would definitely print it out. All of my A&A maps are SUPER-SIZED! :)
-
I don’t have my board any more, but there is a picture of the board in the rules, which can be found here

it may not be high enough res for your purposes… I tried…
-
I would love this map! I specifically got on here today to see if there was one available…
-
I would print it :-D
Already have your spring42 map and 50th both supersized.
-
I would also print it.
The printing service mentioned above, will they also ship to Denmark?
-
I would also like to print it.
To whom it may concern: I know a manufacturer in germany, printing those maps in a high quality (blockout banner, 720 dpi eco solvent print) for low costs (e.g. for AA1942 first edition 162cm x 86cm, 42 Euros plus 22 Euros for shipping).
-
Just get me a good scan head on without distortion. A good large Picture could work, note the one on this site wont work. Just help me out and i can do the rest… kinda lazy but once i get going, it is a firestorm.
-
@Imperious: I`m not in on the scanning thing, but I tend to give an order to a copy shop to scan the map. Afterwards I would load the file up or, if possible, send it to you. Are there any recommendations concerning file format or size or scanning parameters?
-
Well if you do it i can guarantee that i make a map from it.
The scan or picture must be head on, no angles just drop down view and good lighting. For a poor example, check out Djensens picture of 42.2 from this site. A good example would be his picture of 1914. I drew my map from it.
Do it and you guys got the map. I can try to finish before Christmas.
-
I’m late to the party. But throwing my vote yes please on this…
(I was one of those who bugged you about this!) - Can’t wait!

@ imperious: right now I’m searching for a scan/copy shop, able to scan an unflexible paperboard in a size of DIN A0. Till now, I found only one shop in Hamburg, unfortunately, they can print the map at the earliest on January, 6th. So, it looks like that we won’t receive an additional christmas gift (:-().The format of the scan file will be “*.TIFF”, resolution 300dpi - would this fit the requirements for you?
-
yes that works, but you know if you scanned the map as a PDF or PNG you would do much better.
