Here’s a rough sketch of a Med map. This map would use all of the military units and be much more strategic in scale:
On both maps the hexes are scaled to be 3" wide. The whole map will be 35" x 23". This is the standard large poster scale that can be easily printed off from a variety of online print companies (cafepress for example).
I’m not comfortable with 1 hex having land and water. You’ll change the shapes like in your middle east map, right?
I don’t really like the idea of having hexes. You just do territories like flashpoint. You should call this came flashpoint too so you stick to the trend.
You should make these in store, like what do you have to lose, you mine as well give it a shot

I don’t think the hexes will work very well for the Med map but I’m going to use them as a basis for dividing up the territories.
As for the name I kinda wanted to stick to the Flashpoint theme for my maps, but I’m not sure if Flashpoint is a good enough name. Flashpoint Mediterranian? (Flashpoint Stalingrad sound cool though).

Do you mean sell my maps in a store? I was considering it. But I’m not entirely sure what you meant.

Yeah sell them in a store.
Here’s a rough sketch of a Med map. This map would use all of the military units and be much more strategic in scale:
Your map includes the Straight of Gibraltar and the Dardanelles (the western and eastern exits/entrances of the Mediterranean), so you might want to add the third available route: the Suez Canal. It would lead “off the board” like the other two depicted exits/entrances do, and could be used in the same way as whatever you have in mind for Gibraltar and the Dardanelles.
Here’s some more work on a Med map:
The blacked out countires are not going to be involved in the game and will probably be used to contain charts and info eventually.
How does this look?

Your using Spain and Turkey?
Israel does not exist before 1945, but you drew it in. Check out a map for this period for corrections.

But why would I need to check a map when I have your brilliant advice delivered in such a non-derisive manner.
Thanks, changes underway.
But why would I need to check a map when I have your brilliant advice …
Because i don’t have time to look at everything carefully. Israel just came off the picture immediately as being incorrect for 1939-45 game.
But also some minor changes should go to the areas around Hungary and Romania, because Germany reconfigured some of the borders and added some to others and took away some too from conquered nations. But generally it looks ok except for Israel.
I feel like you should make Vichy France possible to invade. If you can invade the French African territories, they should all me treated as one entity.

No I think everything else is right, but I am not sure.
Holden if you were too make a Stalingrad game, like you drew the map up for I think it should be closer down too the city with a city block as a territory. You could also use table tactics new pieces to represent different infantry units. Other ideas would be transport bouts that could be stat bombed and soviet rockets.

The country of Israel didn’t exist but the territory was there back then. It was called Palestine pre 1945.

And some of it still is
How is the map doing anyway? I thought Stalingrad would be cool but I’m interested in the result of the meditarrian map.
I’m also trying to create a game using A&A pieces in Australia and New Zealand called Thunda down unda. Ideas and critiscims are welcome.
i voted Kursk, but stalingrad, north africa and Market Garden would be cool either
