    @Schroeder:

    Hey Siredblood,

    Yes I have looked at the clean file, but if you compare the clean file and the leveled file, the leveled one is brighter and more colorful.  As far as I know there is no leveled version without the ghost card images.

    Hey, don’t confuse me with Siredblood, that’s not fair to him, lol! Yes, the “adjusted levels” file should print with more rich, vibrant color. I adjusted the levels histogram in Photoshop to make the darks/midtones more rich and then brought back some brightness. I am sending YG a clean version right now with adjusted levels, so that should give you a good base file to do your own map changes. :)

    @Tjoek:

    This sounds really great YG!

    I just finished the European side of my attempt to fixup the files from Ambilzi and you. Sounds like most of my work can be thrown down the drain now as it sounds like Intrepid fixed most if not all of my issues with the original map.

    Will check the new map later today to see if I can save myself the hard work of editing the pacific side of the map. Although it feels a bit like a loss of time at the moment  :cry: :-)

    Hi Tjoek, from what I saw you were doing excellent work, don’t throw away anything you’ve done! This new version of the map is still far from perfect, I didn’t have time to remove every single scratch, dust mark, etc off the board. I did do some work in the Pacific for sure, spent some time fixing some water glitches, and a bunch of blurred/shifted territory lines. Please copy whatever you can off this map to save yourself time!

    Yeah I noticed that your great work did not included all the small scratches I’m removing. So I can continue my quest to get the cleanest map ;-) Overall really nice to see the community around this great game come alive.


  • Hey YG,

    I didn’t mean to offend you or complain, I just saw that in your latest video (bathrobe one) I believe you said you wanted to give people the most options possible in this thread, and I was just asking for what I wanted in a map. I should have said thanks earlier but I didn’t, so thank you.

    Intrepid,

    Thank you for making a leveled clean version as I would not know how to use the program to do that myself.  I really appreciate it!

    Thanks Schroeder, what I had meant in that video is that the files that I was sharing in this thread would be added to the many map files that already exist and therefore bringing about more options. Sorry for the misunderstanding… the files that you were asking for are now available in post #1 thanks to Intrepid.

    Cheers, and thanks for your support.

    Thank you for the great work, Interpid and also YG of course. This new Clean Leveled Version really looks great. I always loved the Naval/Air Bases and I think with the removed round tracker and combined combat charts its a really good compromise between customized and OOB!
    I am also not a fan of the ghost boxes, but its interesting to see your houserule version and despite the missing combat chart, the Clean/leveled version is perfect for my taste :-)

    I really would love to print it right away, although I somehow need to wait for Siredbloods and Trojeks versions to be finished, because both are really interesting too  :lol:

    Thank to all you guys for the great work! :-)

    YG and I chatted today, and we decided to offer his custom version in both color options, and the clean version in both color options. There will be some like yourself that want the battle board but not the ghost boxes, and others will want countless other variations (I read someone wanted two battle boards, lol). I just don’t have the time to be able to provide all those unique designs; I’ve already spent far too much time editing maps. :-D

    In your case, you could open the custom file with the battle board in a free image editor such as http://pixlr.com/, select around the battle board, copy, and then open the clean version, and past the battle board back in place. If your selection contained some land that will help you line up the battle board to pixel perfection (use arrow keys to nudge the selection around), and then you can save the file again as your own custom JPG. :)

    Thanks Intrepid, all files you just mentioned are available in post #2 of this thread with clear descriptions of what they are and what’s on them.

    That new battle board design is indeed sweet.  I will be grabbing that and having it printed.  Thanks for sharing, and thanks for also doing the leveled/clean map!


  • Thanks for the new versions, Interpid! The Colour versions in both custom and clean are awesome - and you are right of course, cutting out the battle board should be possible even for a noob like me xD

    I still havent found a print shop in vienna (most of them dont even answer my mails lol…) and still want to wait for sireds and trojeks maps to be finished. But as soon as I have a version printed, I will let you guys know :-)


  • Off topic For the life of me I can’t find the post YG made about a month ago in regards to the best material to print a map. Anyone know what I am talking about?


  • Hey YG,

    first at all: good work.

    Is it possibible to get a fixed version of the “A&A1940Global YG Intrepid Clean Original Levels Mar31” map,
    where the Naval Base in Normandy / Bordeaux is fixed (switched colours, black and white)?

    Would be great.
    Thanks.

    I’m deep into trying to get my custom card decks released right now, but I will certainly look into it.

    Yeah I use your first card deck without the house roules for my games.  :-D
