Wow, group, low turnout this week. One post with suggestions? That’s it?
Is everyone happy with what has been suggested?
The following are only two zones apart.
Hawaii to San Diego
West Africa to Portugal
Pacific Northwest to Aleutian Islands
I have added the following ports pairs. I don’t think this will be the final list, I’m still not sure about some of them.
Cape Town to Brazil
Cape Town to Madras
Madras to Australia
Japan to Caroline Islands
New Guinea to Canberra
Lower Egypt to Cape Town
Lower Egypt to Gibraltar
Archangel to Great Britain
Washington to Great Britain
Great Britain to Gibraltar
Washington to Morocco
Tunisia to Crimea
Malay to Shantung (or anywhere on SZ 106)
Other thoughts:
Port on Java??
Needed 2 port icons: (I still don’t like the way this looks)
Great Britain
Lower Egypt

It’s Friday! The Seventh draft has arrived! I have made the following changes from the sixth draft: Added: Sea Zones have been numbered. Ports Ocean Names Changed: Reminders: When reviewing the map please consider both historical accuracy and game play. The image has been reduced by 50% for faster downloads. (Makes it a little fuzzy) Unfinished elements have been removed. This is a work in progress. http://www.mediafire.com/?80jbfymybo0 |

My friends and I want to play the Global War variant. Should I print v7 of the Map or wait for more refinement? How balanced is the game? Has it been play tested much? Is there a 'normal' opening bid for the axis?
Why not make China its own nation instead of an american subsidary?
What impact does Italy not moving at the same time as Germany have on the game?
Thanks!
Craig

Is the full resolution Paint Shop Pro files for version 7 of the map available? Any recommendation if I should spend the $$$ to print v7 or wait for a later revision?

Deepblue, my suggestion would be to start putting seaports in every spot the people suggest one should be from a historical perspective. Then go back and take off any that don't pair up with at least one other port that's three spaces away. After that looks for ones that only link up at three spaces if you take an indirect route, but are only two spaces away if you take a direct route. Most of those ones can be removed, too. After that, you can look for ones that might need to be removed for gameplay reasons.

I don’t care what the actual names of the ports are.
When referring to ports refer to the territory the port will be attached to. This will hopefully speed things up and allow people to follow the thread more easily.

Currently there are 29 port icons on the map.
Almost every territory that a port before has one now with a few exceptions.
The major exception is the west cost of the United States it is just not far enough or too close to everything.
One idea is to put a port on Kamchatka. What do you think?

Their was no port there. The only warm water Soviet port that could qualify was Vladivlastok.

Starts to look better and better! Maybe add a harbor to the north of Norway (Narvik) and an airbase to the Azores. (it was used for that only)
