@sweetchops27 Surprised that Senussi isn’t on here as an Ottoman-Aligned Territory (land area could be in-between Cyrenaica and Egypt) . If you don’t want to add more territories, you could very well replace Cyrenaica with it and make it north and south instead of west and east.
Tjoek's A&A 1914 OOB Map file (Updated February 9th 2020)

@Tjoek Since I use my own houserules with more historical USW zones, I dont really need the icons on the map. But I am interested in how they look for sure. Maybe you´ll have one strict oob map and another one with some upgrades… Can´t wait for the next update!!
-
Just for your info, the sub icon as just tried is a silhouette of the actual sub miniature from the game itself. First I thought about a semi transparent icon in white, but a dark icon looks nice as well :
Not too busy or bold, just a slight reminder of the rule and the sea zones affected. The more I look at them, the more I prefer the dark icon as if there is a sub submerged :-)
Any comments are appreciated!
-
@Tjoek Actually that looks pretty good, the darker silhouette. 👍
-
@Tjoek I also like the darker silhouette.

@Tjoek definitly the dark one

The map file is released!
One version without and one version with the harbours. I opted to not include the submarine icons on the map by default, but I’ve added the dark transparent silhouette as well as the Mobilization Zone as separate files you can simply overlay yourself.
Enjoy and please share pictures of your map if you happen to print one of this files.
If you have any questions or need support feel free to send me a PM or post it here.

@Tjoek outstanding work!! Many thanks for releasing the map file. I have waited for this to happen since 2013 :-D
It will take some time but I promise to share pictures of the printed map . Again, thank you very much Tjoek!
-
@Tjoek Awesome! So where do I go to view the finished map and download? Can’t wait to see.
-
@The-Plastic-Commando Oops, found it. Thanks for the great work Tjoek. I plan to download and get a map printed. I’ll post it and discuss on my YouTube channel soon.
-
@Chacmool @The-Plastic-Commando
I just noticed the download links where wrong. So please re download the files if you already did so.
Not a big issue, but both links had harbour icons and I cleaned up a very small border defect in Russia. You most likely won’t have noticed it anyways ;-) -

@Tjoek 😊 Thanks!

One more update to the files:- Colors are slightly warmer
- Reduced dark contrast between some territories and new artwork for the Sahara in Libya, Egypt and Anglo-Egyptian Sudan
-
My file went to a local printshop and they expect the map to be ready in slightly more then a week. I will post pictures in comparison with the real board when I’ve received it.
-
This looks AMAZING!!! Thank you very much @Tjoek

@Tjoek Finally found a print shop that can print me a 48x48 map on scrim vinyl! It’s in final production. Will post after receives. 😊
-
@Tjoek
Absolutely beautiful Tjoek! A work of art in my humble opinion. Got it today 48x48 on scrim vinyl. It rolls up nice and despite a few creases in the pic lays flat. The colors are eye popping and that Holland roundel looks awesome! 😉I will be discussing the map further at some point on my YouTube channel. Sincerely, just an outstanding job.

@The-Plastic-Commando
Thanks for showing the results! This looks amazing.I’ve had issues getting the colours right on my local printshop so I’m actually reworking on the color correction. Glad it worked out for you. Do you know if your printshop edited the files before printing? If so do you by any chance know what they did? This might help me.

I believe it’s the print shops software or what ever they have. I printed up Siredblood’s map and it came out with a red tint. Another map was deluxe. The blue was darker.
I was told those 2 map files where made on photo shop. So if printer doesn’t print in photo shop the colors are a bit different
Don’t know if that helps.
Another thing was my magnetic charts where made with a Mac in photo shop I believe and the color of charts were way off what I wanted.I’m sure IL or somebody knows the fix
-
@Tjoek I know my print shop had to save to PDF format and they did adjust the size. I got a proof and the size change did not seem to impact either the quality of the map or color. I dropped off my thumb drive and got the final product in 4 days!
