  • Imp Leader,
    I noticed two things, but this may be from a version that I printed that you already fixed!  Rome, for Italy does not have a Red dot as a capitol and Venice… the “V” in Venice is double printed so it looks like a “W”. I played two full games last weekend with a good group… they pick up everything… and they were VERY IMPRESSED!!!  GREAT JOB!  And thanks for sharing, we use all the extra stuff you put in Africa; turn order, costs, etc!  Leave all the clutter off the table you would need for rulebooks etc!

    If those 2 things mentioned above can be fixed or already are, I’d love to get a copy of it with all the extras you did when you have time! Again, if those are already fixed I apologize and simply didn’t see a newer link!


  • I noticed the same things as pitsbrgparatrpr, and agree with everything he said.

    Also, shouldn’t Portugal and Portuguese East Africa should be colored in blue just like Belgium and Belgian Congo?

    Would love an updated file so I can print this soon!

    Thanks


  • Ill take a look at it, right now im working on 42.2 map. I’m at 40%


  • Much appreciated IL,

    The sooner the better please  :-)

    Oh, and one more thing. I am interested in printing an AA50 map. Is there a file of the original map without any modifications? I kind of like the map as is OOB, just want to blow it up onto one sheet of vinyl.

    Thanks!!!


  • Just DL the supreme map file. I did add Azores and will not be removing it. If you hate the island change, just ignore it. The justification is it allows Germany the capability to long range bomb the east coast and offers the allies a strategic “unsinkable island” for defense. It gives both sides player options and i feel strongly about that. No other changes are offered, unless you look up some of my other modifications.

    BTW get the version with an accurate drawn Norway. It really is an improvement.


  • I see the Portugal/East Africa…… I don’t know what’s best for that?  Anyway thanks for taking the time to redo it!  Were awaiting your revisions in great anticipation… this map is SUPERB!


  • Your 42.2 map, is it available also to download?  Any luck with the WWI map yet. thanks!


  • IL,

    I know you’re a busy guy, but like pitsbrgparatrpr said, any luck yet? :)

    Only reason I am pushing is cuz I have a limited time window to print the map to vinyl. Would be most appreciated if you could get a cleaned up version out soon. Thanks!

    PS. I got a Global 1940 map printed today, and man is it beautiful. Same exact dimensions as the large Global War HBG map, on vinyl, very rich color, roughly 46’ x 96". I want to print my other favorite maps if possible.

    I have asked you about an AA50 map, but I was curious if you have any other versions? I see your supreme map, which is very nice, but it kinda doesn’t do it for me. I have seen another version on BGG that is different than OOB. Do you have that one still? Or better yet, do you have a plain standard OOB 1941 version of AA50?

    Again, time is a bit of a factor for me.

    Thanks!


  • I have other versions of the AA50 map, check them out.

    Also, did Revised, Bulge, 42 1st edition, and others.


  • Do you have links?

    Your map files thread only has two versions of 1942, aa50 supreme, and Europe 39.

    A new Bulge would also be cool.

    Can you post these files here please?

    I have seen this on BGG, and it refers that you created it, but I cannot find it.


  • Sorry for the stupid question, but it the map files thread here or on BGG? THANKS!


  • https://www.mediafire.com/?vaaa5eknt5fcgac

    here is the fixed map file for OOB.


  • EXCELLENT…. grabbed your 42 maps also! THANKS!


  • Love it IL,

    I do appreciate your time and effort, BUT my only nitpick with it is still the color of Portugal and Portuguese East Africa. They should be French blue, correct?

    I really want to print this map large on vinyl, but it would be nice for consistency and also to reduce confusion with newer players  especially if those territories could be fixed.

    Don’t mean to sound ungrateful!!!

    Thanks :)


  • They should not be “french” they have their own color, which is similar to neutral color and the reason is they are both controlled by Portugal.


  • Then why is Belgium blue, and Romania red, etc etc? And why are the Portuguese territories blue on the OOB map?

    It’s just that for new players it will cause confusion, plus I will always know…  :evil:

    Any word on the other AA50 map and Bulge?


  • Ok i am very sorry. I fixed it. Portuguese colony is Africa is kept neutral color, since it has no French flag. Portugal proper is now blue.

  • Thank you very much IL.

    I will be go to the print shop today with the file.

    But, I must also harass you for a few more things:

    I want to print your Bulge variant. I have the file, but I need to know the EXACT dimensions that you use (I can’t find out what the normal dimensions are either). I know on the BOB thread you say it’s like 25% larger or something, and that the front line hex pieces fit pretty close, but not exactly. I am fine with that, I prefer more space for pieces anyways. Please let me know asap, the guy at the print shop will give me a better deal if I print more maps.

    Also, any word on the AA50 map file from the pic I posted from BGG above? I don’t know if you have several versions of AA50 around or what, but if so please post them!

    :)


  • Ok you would want to print at maximum DPI (at least 300) and not on Matte, do semi gloss and print on heavy vinyl–not the cheap thin crap. Make sure you see the fabric before you print as the print shop owner might give you that crappy banner material with ridges in it–this is very important make sure it has a smooth surface and a bit spongy. Another example is it will look like the play mats they use for tournament chess.
