D-day help!

Sorry to hear about your ordeal, Poague. You were remarkably close if you were listing that out from memory. I checked my board and then double-checked a couple of times (I find the sillhouettes on that board to be difficult to read). You missed two Japanese sea zones, the airfields, a US sub, and there were several quantity tweaks, mostly on US side. I also added the control markers. Still, that was an impressive stab at it.

Axis & Allies Guadalcanal Setup:

Japan
Sea zone A: submarine
Sea zone B: cruiser, 2 destroyers, 2 transports
Sea zone C: destroyer, submarine
Sea zone E: cruiser
Sea zone F: transport

Choiseul: artillery, infantry, Japanese control marker

Guadalcanal: 3 infantry, 2 supply tokens

U.S.
Sea zone J: battleship, submarine, 2 destroyers, 2 transports
Sea zone K: aircraft carrier, 2 fighters, cruiser, destroyer, 2 transports

Warning long post * * *
Scroll down to the bold text if u only want to know what I needed help with and dont care why and so on.

Oki. where to start then.

There is an old boardgames called “Axis and Allies”, its a boardgame reguarding WWII. There was a computergame created a few years back, but the game developers dint care jack sh*t about it. And it hade tons of errors, flaws and tons of buggs making the game crash and the developers dint really care 2 cents about fixing the problems with it.

So since its a really nice game and loved game among board game players, a community and a source game was developt from free working people almost 3 years ago. And its been going really nice, and sofar the game is far greater then the buyable game itself that the company released.

But now to the sad part, last week a sad e-mail came to the project. It was Hasbro who threathen to make a case of it and go to court with the matter if the source project was not taken down.

So at the moment we need to redo all the troop images, redo the entire map and alot of other work.

Actully relly sad that Hasbro is working against a community that actully is made because people love the game so much.
Most people who are in the community have prob bought at least 2 Axis and Allies products. And a online computergame will never be replaced by a computergame. (Dont start to debate this matter, make a new thread if that is what u want to talk about. )

Anyway…. now to the matter I needed help with.

so… now to what I might need help with. Im not 100% sure that Im actully posting this in the right place. I might get flamed for that… Or maybe I wont. We are all differnt people and I love you all.

Im trying to find a downloadable map of the entire world. (Pixel size dont really matter, Ill rezise it in photoshop later) Does not really have to be detailed, and by that I mean do not want information reguarding capital, land hight, population. It actully could be as simple as 2 colored. land/water.

I could always go around taking screenshots of the maps on google and then puzzle it together and then do tons of work in photoshop. But prefered not to, if there is a simpler way to solv it.

And my 2nd question is if anyone knows of a program or plugin that might help me simpefy a map if there are no maps like that anywhere to be found.

Tnx in advance for all who took the time to read this post.

Edit…
Well I found a map, done some work on it… Still not done.

http://triplea.sourceforge.net/

thnx ncs:  i went to the 2nd site & i downloaded what i had to ( not very computer literate sorry).  so how do i start a game w/ others or join in 1?

This is because version 1.3.3 is not compatible with directx versions above 8.1.

http://home.centurytel.net/khb/aa has a patch that will fix this.

Happy to be of service…

hah, got the hint. swweeeeett
!!!

Well yes it is, but Alaska has 2 sea zones. The one that is 2 spaces (1 turn) from Japan by boat is NOT the sea zone the is also next to W Can. No worries of that.

I bought squad leader back in the mid-80s…… I have yet to play it, way to much to read in order to just get going.

Best advice is find some people who can play and sit in on a game or play the russians with allied help/guidance.
