Fair enough! And thanks very much for the writeup. If anyone tries this again, consider adding:
2 German subs in SZ 10 (Greenland)
2 German subs in SZ 12 (west of Morocco)
1 Japanese carrier with 1 Japanese fighter in SZ 62 (east of Tokyo)
Lite cant be used for anything more than a paper waster. We must start that over.
I will bring up one concept at a time beginning tomorrow pulled from the latest file and we reformulate from that.
Don’t worry.
I will compile the language and assemble the parts.
yeah you have you feelings about AARHE:Lite
but my feelings remind there’ll be a bit of reinventing the wheels
yes it would be good to discuss one or a few rule at a time right from the start, then we do phase 1, then phase2
some shall be toned down (simpler model)
some might be removed if deemed more tedious then adding to gameplay/realism
my latest feeling is not a slightly adjusted AARHE just in areas that you don’t like
but potentially a new lean AARHE for the masses
one ruleset instead of two
optional rules separated from main file
every page discourages people to print it out
every page makes it harder for them to get their friend to even touch it
yes right.
cool
that reduces rules file from 30 pages to 18 pages straight off (National Advantages is 9 pages, Optional units, Rail, etc)
my early prediction, 15 pages
very touchable
yes we could make them a separate file. Thats good thinking Tekkyy!
Does anyone have a copy of the standard map file (or historical for that matter) without the country names, national markers, or VC/IPC numbers on it. I’m basically looking for a map with just the countries outlined. if anyone could be of assistance I would appreciate it. It can be in PDF or Illustrator format.
Sorry just use the AARHE map. Use GIMP to edit.
It can be in PDF or Illustrator format.
hi
I can give you the .ai file
all the icons are in separate layers
so in illustrator you can toggle on/off for all everything
in 15 seconds you can tick on/off the IPC icons, VC icons, setup icons, etc independently
by the way what are your plans?
making a new map? customized gameplay?
I want to use it for customized gameplay. Illustrator format would be excellent. Just send the file to my email address.
stuanderson, I’ll try to send you the file soon
hi stuanderson
you get can the blank here http://home.exetel.com.au/cometo/aarhe/maps/20080321_AARHE_blank.ai
Thanks. Just got to learn how to use Illustrator to it’s full potential… j/k.
Do you really did it,after carefully trimming and taping them all together the map was glued to a nice 1/16" pressboard surface on a 1" x 2 " frame for stability.?
and so where is the picture of game in progress?
mediafire.com will handle it.
I printed out your map Imperious Leader at 36" x 72" as one piece with a 5 mil laminate on both sides.
Very nice! Thanks!
ah good. now play a sample game and don’t use the optional rules until you got the normal stuff down pat.
I assume your talking 1939 AARHE?
No, I started with the AARHE42.
I need it in a 1939 version but will probably buy the 2 new ones coming out instead.
oh ok. Then the rules are easier…
We printet out the map at 118" X 60" on a expanded polystyrene plate
and build a table with drawers for the miniatures around the map :-D
we took the big miniatures from A&A for more details and now the game
is perfect.
We all want to say THANK YOU for your amazing map Imperious Leader.
Here i have some pics for you:
