Axis & Allies Community Map Files

Thanks for the acknowledgement, YG. You forgot the most important fix (at least for the people who live on Iwo Jima) � their island is no longer upside-down in the Pacific!  :-D

YG, you’ve been the visionary behind this map project over the years, so thank you for the innovative ideas, and for always striving to make the map better.

Technical note: This map file is sized 72"x33" at 300dpi.

Thanks for this one guys.

Certainly too late, but if anyone is willing to correct a few names here is the best accurate names for each Territories in Siberia, I found this by looking upon DK’s AA50 inspired map.
Chelyabinsk (Tankograd) is a more WWII fitting name for this TT between Urals and Yenisey.
Tunguska can be replaced by Altai, as a more appropriate region to pass from China to Novosibirsk, USSR, or Mongolia.

Another simpler switch: Yenisey become Evenkiysky and Evenkiysky becomes Yenisey.
However, it does not solve Yakut SSR and Sakha issue, being one and the same region and political entity.

Here is the switch and a different way to solve Sakha issue.
This erase Tunguska for a more realistic Altai being frontier to China, Mongolia and Novosibirsk.
However, Tunguska TT being south of Yenisey TT on this map is not a bad choice, but not as accurate as Altai.

Pushing westward Yenisey is also a way to rightly mark the north-western end of 1940 Pacific map.
As read elsewhere, Axis partners agree to stop at Yenisey river. West of Yenisey was for Germany and east for Japan.
So, it was a kind of agreement that Urals TT is to be Germany while Yenisey TT to Japan.

These maps are above and beyond great!  Is there any experience blowing these up to the 96x45 size?  I would imagine they should look fine but wanted to hear from experience.

I would also like to know how well this image scales up.  Maybe not quite as large as carsonbparker mentions, but perhaps 80x36 or something similar.

I am trying to view these and or get a copy of these from my work computer. I do not have access to Mediafire. How else can i get a copy or better yet at least view the image to see if its what im after.

carsonbparker and Navymule, the map should scale up just fine… the resolution might drop to the 200dpi range, but it should still print a crisp image.

Here’s a low-res shot of the map…(without ghost boxes)

Is there a way to get this file without having to deal with mediafire?
What a pain.

What exactly is the problem you’re having with mediafire?

Disregard, I was clicking “view” and it was putting me through the ringer. I assumed “download” would do the same. I got it now.

Hi all,
the maps are just awesome!!!

I’m working on a map variant myself and I was wondering if someone would mind sharing the psd file?
I need to edit country-attribution (nation colors) and other smaller things.
thanks so much for you help!
cheers,
Loig

Has anyone run into issues with getting items with these maps on them printed? Isn’t the work copyrighted? Or have they given folks permissions to print them?

Larry Harris was at YG’s tournament with maps printed….no problems…you’re good to go printing them

I think you’d only run into trouble if you tried to sell them after printing them.

That makes sense. Some printers (like The Game Crafter), won’t let you print things if you don’t have permissions to use any of the art…and this map being created from the real map meant I might not be able to print it. I modified the coloring slightly so I could do an overlay and it made it through…its a bummer though that I would have to make my own version of the map to sell prints. Oh well. (I made a custom map based objective tracker for AA50).

Is there any blank 1940 maps so i could mess around with it?

LMFAO. Blank? Thats funny

no as in a map without the colors but with the map, borders, seazones, but having it like black and white.

Young Grasshopper would you consider adding my Azimuthal Equidistant G40 map to your list? I recently posted it in here.
