And on a related point: if you look at an online map of the world and place a rectangular sheet of paper on it so that one of its long edges lies on the equator (alternately covering, for purposes of comparison, the bottom half and the top half), you’ll notice that most of the world’s land masses are in the northern hemisphere. All of North America, all of Europe, virtually all of Asia, and much of Africa are located there. The main land masses in the southern hemisphere are South America, the lower part of Africa, Australia, and Antarctica; the rest of the southern hemisphere is mainly water, which means that for A&A map purposes it’s mostly wasted space. Oceania, a.k.a. the Pacific Islands, including Australia and New Zealand, did see significant action in WWII, so its inclusion on an A&A map is quite relavant…but by the same token Antarctica is a land mass that’s traditionally (and with good reason) omitted from A&A maps.

@Vital-Signs well done! which one did you want first?
-
@The_Good_Captain OK great - so do you feel the quality of the images are up to par? No preference at all on the order. Very much appreciated!
-
@Vital-Signs yeah they should work - i think you should be happy with the result. I will remove the board lines and crop and send them back to you. need about a month or so, maybe two with the holidays. I will post as soon as one is finished and then the other as soon as it is finished.

@The_Good_Captain Hello Captain - just following up to see if by chance you have had the time to make any headway on these maps? Thank you!

@Vital-Signs I have made some but not much. I use the free download program gimp and the clone tool in that program. thats about it. otherwise, give me another month and I might have conquest of the empire done.

@The_Good_Captain OK great. Thank you so much for this update Captain!

I’m going to make a short video for you on how to do it. Its something I thought I would be able to do but I realize I just can’t anymore with the baby around.
But I will make and post a short video this weekend and link it here. It’s far simpler to do than I think most folks realize and so I can do that. Its not that its a complex process. Its more that its kind of a grind.
I’ll post the link here in a couple days. Sorry my dude - but I promise everything I’m about to show you is very simple and can be done.
