Dudes and chicks, it’s been done, i took the AAE board to the local library, where color copies are about 20 cents cheaper, blew it up in pieces, then pasted them together onto four pieces of 20x30 “Sturdy Board”, foam board I bought at Joanne Fabrics. So the area of my new board is four times the size of the original. It’s huge, and it’s awesome. Essentially, each quadrant of the original board has been blown up to the size of the original board. It ended up costing about $30 bucks, but it was worth it. Not that the original board is completely inadequate, but it’s just so much easier to assess everything when there is more space between the pieces, and easier to move them around, not to mention feeling like your working over some government war-room map.
I really need a map to keep up with you guys

Hey AAE Fans,
This is my first post and glad to find you. I don’t have a board yet, but want to be able to follow your disscusions–does anyone have (or no where to get) an image of a game board with all the names readable?
-
Nice huge image of the board.
-
wow, thanks–perfect.
Anybody have a list of the opening placement?
-
Later on I might be able to edit that image with the starting units written on it, sorry I can’t do it now, but are you still interested?
-
YES!!!
-
Ill take one too… I was gonna go that myself… Its much better to have this player aid then those 5 sheets of set up charts… too long

Here it is.

Sorry the quality ain’t so great, but it should do the job. Also, the capital letters in some of the abbreviations don’t mean anything, they are only there to help you see some of the ones that are against a weird background.
Also, Britain isn’t purple in the game, they are tan, but tan is hard to read so I chose a dark distinctive color.

This is a huge help.

Big thanks!
