Hi-Res map?

@malstrom:

… a downloadable PDF photo of the global board?

In the Global-Thread there is at least a high-res. photo:

You can easily convert it into a pdf of course, but I assume you think about something like IL’s maps.

hi guys!

since dynamic counter would ruin it: first post coming up!

to the point: i have a layered europe map in the works. as i understand modules for regular sw are a work in progress as well, i still found this the only way to have a ‘map’ ready in acceptable time (i’m from central eu, would take a month or so for the actual boxes to arrive…).

only problem is with the layering, in the sense that you do need some basic PS knowledge and the sw itself (or equivalent) if you want to use it… meaning tossing around units and so…

still, if you’re interested, let me know, should be ready around… sunday evening (US time)… expect a huge file… :)

also, right now i m using a 1500x1500px base map, the highest resolution i could find. if sone happens to have a better one, please redirect me… (map only, no units and glares and stuff like that)

(note: player with some AA experience - myself - seeking opponent for aae40 game, as posted under the relevant section…)

Ya. I used for extra pieces. They may only be the 5 main but id rather buy 2 42 copies than 4 1940 2 pacific 2 europe. Also i wanted the ICs and AA guns mainly. I use 42 to introduce friends.

@LHoffman:

Interesting, yes… but I don’t think the similarity between the A&A game and Axis pact you reference is intentional. By that I mean it was a total coincidence. Taking into account all of the other errors in Pacific and previous versions, there is no way that the designers paid that much attention to detail. I bet it just looked like a logical place to split the board for them.

Yeah. I think they just split it where China ended, and that happened to be there.

Besides, 10 degrees is a large error.

It doesn’t really matter to me if the US is a match because I would not think of playing a game like that, however it would be cool to see it from that view.

@calvinhobbesliker:

Egypt is divided into Tobruk and Alexandria. Sudan is a 3rd territory

Good, Egypt in the Europe version was too easy to take with the Germans, at least with this they will make it tougher to blitz through to the Middle East so fast.

If Italy can get through.

It’d still be nice not to have all the little edges and stuff

@Canuck12:

On that note though, I actually liked the subtle “watermarked” convoy and kamakazi zones.

Same here ;) just when the allies get too cocky you remind them of a kamakazi strike. “Oh, did’nt QUITE see that coming…”
