Im not talking about a digital Map, but a real one. I consider myself very artistically minded so I think I could do it without it looking too bad. What materials would I need, how much time would it take? I wanna do a global map from about 1920.
Printing a map

Thanks Tjoek. Interesting stuff. Always thought it was 2nd edition. Important stuff there so it’s good.
Probably be playing on this beautiful board Friday night. -
Hey, I am just getting back into Axis & Allies, and was wondering where I can get the map files? I would like to print one out rather than using the ones that came with the game.
Thanks

I know this is going to sound confusing… probably because it is confusing…
First of all, there are many versions of Axis and Allies and you didn’t specify which version you wanted to play and/or print a map for…
Possibly the biggest problem is that we don’t have a dedicated printable map forum, nor does the site even have a standard on where and how printable maps are located on the forums. Some maps are stickied in their games forum (like 1941), some are stickied in the customization forum and some are stickied in the varients forum… still others can be in any of these forums and might not be stickied at all…
Thirdly, with few exceptions, most versions of Axisand Allies have multiple printable maps from one or more people… so you need to figure out which one of (possible) many you actually want to print.
I wish this site had just one forum where all maps for ALL versions of Axis and Allies were stored to make them easy to find… or at the very least, a standard existed and was enforced by moderators that maps for A&A version-X go in version-X’s subforum, and if it’s not there, it gets moved there.
Right now, if you want to print a map, there’s a good chance you have to visit at least three forums for a chance at finding all possible maps for each version of A&A… customizations, variants and the proper sub-forum… it’s all pretty confusing, especially if you’re new around here…

Start here. Mostly global maps and an AA50 map I believe.
Also check out siredblood�s map. Gorgeous map with a different look.In 1914’s forum Imperious Leader has a map stickied there that I may print next.

He never said what version he’s wanting to print and since that’s his first post, no history to work with on this guy as to what he plays… so at this point everyone is just guessing what version he plays, but nobody actually knows.
That’s why I mentioned every forum they are in, I don’t want to just assume he plays version-x.
:-P

My apologies, I started playing back in the 80’s with the original release of the game and haven’t played much since then as a result of college, getting married, and starting a family. Anyway my nephew is studying WW2 and is an avid board game player and is very interested in learning to play Axis & Allies so I decided to get back into the game.
I picked up Axis & Allies 1940 Europe 2nd Edition and Axis & Allies 1940 Pacific 2nd Edition. After setting up the boards I am not a fan of how easy they could be knocked apart. I am looking for a good global 1940 map that I can print as a single piece.
Thanks

Luckily there are a few fellow forum members working on different versions of the Global 1940 map, including myself :-)
Young Grasshopper has a list of Global 1940 maps
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=41411.0Siredblood just finished his complete artwork redesign of the map
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=39013.0Tjoek (aka myself) am about to release my cleaned up version of the scans that Young Grasshopper lists
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=39379.0So there are quite some options available (and I’m sure I’ve missed some others out there) to print your own Global 1940 map.
