That is the right kind of price!
I might try harder to find someone who can do that for me here
Tjoek's 1940 Global Map file and setup charts (Updated May 30th 2018)

@kevArs it’s not about porting, more about deploying it again. But still needs some time.
Thanks for offering to tip. It’s been an intensive effort to get this retouched map. So any sign of appreciation is hearty welcomed. Just opened a ko-fi link you can use: https://ko-fi.com/tjoek

@kevArs and yes Global 1940 is the most complex. Especially with the different objectives and related bonus incomes. With this implemented the rest should be straightforward. Only the 1914 contested areas is something to tackle if you’re willing to.
Does you app sync across multiple players joining the same game session?

@Tjoek Hey! Thanks for the link, will do.
No, my app doesn’t do multiplayer. In fact, it’s a static website with no backend right now. I don’t really see the need to make it MP, unless there’s real demand. For now, it will remain a digital tracker for a 1940 Global in-person game.
I found it especially useful with some of my buddies who had never played before and for us, who play 1-2 times a year. The few questions and issues I’m trying to tackle with this app (without referencing the book every 2 minutes) are the following :
When can each country enter the war again?
Which ship is the cruiser and which is the destroyer? (I’m adding HD images/country)
Which territories specifically do I need for that objective, and where are they?
Preparing options for purchases while waiting for one’s turn
Calculating odds for a particular encounter
Reminding us about convoys and troop-related objectives (Egypt, sz125, etc.)
Which factories are different from the Pacific/Europe default games? And when do they change?
Comparing one game’s scores by turn with another (stats and a graphic), etc.I don’t know if there are any other issues or nice-to-haves that the community would want, but those are the ones I could think of during in-person play.
I don’t think I want to recreate Triple-A, though…
Currently it’s not really useful on mobile either, but I plan to make it mobile-friendly. For now, we play with a big screen running the app, next to the table. A couple of people update it as we go and use it to plan their moves. -
can you make a 1942.2 map file, OOB?
-
@Imperious-Leader As I work with high quality scan from the original board as the basis, I have to check if I have the 1942.2 game to begin with. I don’t recall as it really has been a while I played A&A.
But still it takes many many hours to clean the maps from all scanning and merging defects as I scan it in multiple pieces of roughly A4/Letter size. Before cleaning up the fold lines etc.
So long story short: no clue if and when. I’m sorry.

@Tjoek 1942.2 is the current flagship game of AA. its being played alot more than 1940, which is my favorite. but i readily admit whats more played and talked about

I’m sure you’re right as it’s a bit more accessible than the bigger Global 1940 I prefer too.

@Tjoek
Hi, I tried to download and print this map, but he program says that the dimension is approx is slightly bigger that the OOB map.
Did I do something wrong ?
Where I can find, download a map for local printing in high resolution ?
I would pay for the dowload of a good map, that could give +30% of the original size
Any suggestion ?
Thanks -
@Marco-Luti, once you download the file, you need to tell the printer what dimensions you want to print it in by using “page setup” or some similar feature. Tjoek’s map files are super dense and easily support being blown up to twice the size of the OOB map or more.
At 400DPI, Tjoek’s files should printout at the size of the OOB map.
At 300DPI, you will get a +33.3% dimension boost, close to what you’re looking for.
At 200DPI, you will get a +100% dimension boost.
…and so on. Here’s another thread where I talk about printing (in this case it’s my overlays, but the info still applies)
DM me if you want to share specifics of what you’re looking for.
