Hi,
I want to share my self painted map for A&A revised. It is painted on a wooden board of 122cm by 70cm. I hand painted the map using an airbrush. The roundels are made of stickers that I found on the internet. Also the letters are stickers and stamps.
I hope you like it!
I made a video of it on my little channel that I have going on Axis and Allies.

Thank you very much!

Welcome GiddyXray. I really like the board. Very nive job. I have had painted a map for the Global 40 game on a 4’x8’ sheet of masonite. I t works well but it is rather dark. I like your lighter colors, especially for the sea zones. I am working on a table to go with it so I may repaint the map and lable it again as well. Your work is very nice.

Thanks!
I selected the colors especially to make the board light an fresh looking. I noticed that a lot of the A&A boards are dark, which make some units hard to see.
I’m very happy with the result! I hope to make some strategy videos using this map.

Don’t know that I have seen a fully hand-painted board before. Looks great.

Japanese A&A Pacific 2nd Edition Color Match
Hey All.
If you are looking to match the default color for the Japanese, try Vallejo Liquid Acrylic 804 Transparent Orange and Model color 140 Flat Brown mixed 30 to 1 sprayed on an undercoat of 131 Orange Brown. It’s a dead match.

@Eric-Poppleton @GEN-MANSTEIN

Benefits of making all units AA.
No need separate AA gun, more space. Cheaper air and naval costs allow more different combination of purchases. It encourage German naval build up and two ocean going USA. Losing air unit isn’t a big deal anymore.
Though I have been still working on balancing units with each other after giving AA ability. I think I’m getting closer.

Further stacks do not increase AA possibilities. Only matter is amount of attacker planes. 1/6 shot down chance per attacker air unit.

I had to give ground forces +1 defense otherwise especially infantry would become so ineffective considering fighter has 2 defense and just 3ipc cost.

This is of course unplayable on board because of fractionel numbers and upkeep ( Yes there is also upkeep and method to buy 1 destroyer despite 3.5 ipc cost but its out of topic otherwise calculating massive stacks would be huge trouble). Its totally for TripleA I just wanted to learn with these unit set up, would air units be underpowered/overpowered or balanced?

The current unit set up like this (still progressing);

I should note that I have units from Classic, Revised Edition, 1941, & 1940 with some significant color variations. So in some cases I may be matching a different edition. So for example, I think the early UK units are darker than my 1940 versions explaining why I choose a darker color. Plus with the cheap paint, I worry that the color consistency is less consistent bottle to bottle.

When I indicate A + B paint colors, I mix then 1 to 1.

Nice work @ari236

@Playing-Kid said in My First Custom Map:

You can use Gimp as a great free software to make your maps

And I agree with Gimp. That’s the tool I used for working on my map files.

Ah, yet another good use for the coasters!

I was awarded the Customizer badge at some point unknown, but marked on my pictures post as to when I found out I was a recipient. There is a post somewhere on the forums that tells of the process and from what I recall one has to be nominated by someone to a moderator and there is some sort of review process. Here’s a link to the award discussion thread: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/24173/customizers-round-2

Glad you enjoy the pics and tips! We all inspire each other with our pictures, tips, and techniques, so keep sharing!
