Great idea.  Which map are you making?  For what game/scenario?

it would be nice to receive some help lol

heres a list of what i would change :

For players aid :

1. add in cruiser ship for the purchase chart

2. add in neutral deploy unit symbols on the map (just for neutrals)

To add a bit more realism :

1. make japan into 4 areas :

“The four largest islands are Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku, together accounting for 97% of Japan’s land area.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Regions_and_Prefectures_of_Japan.svg

2. Gibraltar : who ever controls this can pass through between there and Morocco

3)  Denmark : who ever controls it can pass through sea zone 18

4. Norway : who ever controls it can pass through sea zone 17

5. Maylay : who ever controls it pass through sea zone 70

6. add in polisti (the main oil production for Germany , inside Romania) for Romania as a victory city

7. Change name of Cairo to Egypt : and make Cairo a victory city inside it

Cool add Portugal beside Spain as neutral (will join axis if attack) and Azores belong to them too

9. Iraq was actually pro axis , so at least make it neutral (join axis if under attack)

10. add in whales for mainland England

11. add in northern Ireland as England controlled separating from Eire

12 ) add in Belgian at where it was

13. add in Cherbourg at western France as victory city

14. Split Yugoslavia into two half  , the inner land first half still remains Yugoslavia (inner land) or as Croatia  as German control, All the shore areas are into one new area (maybe something like Italian owned Yugoslavia) this area connects mainland Italy and Greece / Albania together

15. add port in Vladivostok

16. add Soviet convoy at sea zone 134

17. add German convoy at sea zone 18 (all the Sweden minerals are imported there)

18. add British convoy in sea zone 64 (Suez was the most important supply line for Africa)

19. Argentina would turn axis if under attack ( they were pro axis at the time )

20. Brazil would turn allies if under attack (pro US they were)
