Created some free city tokens for 3d printing you can find on Thingiverse. 22 Tokens in all. 18mm bases. I used A.I. to create them so I don’t claim any copyright or restrictions feel free to do whatever you want with them.

No. 14 Paris Eiffel Tower is a remix of Famous Paris buildings by LeFabShop that I put on an 18mm base. That one you would have to follow their restrictions. I don’t think it will hold up very well, looks pretty fragile.

My Grandson and me were looking for someone to show us how to play this game.

Lompestein, thanks for the complements, pretty much everybody else was underwhelmed. I mounted a 5 ft version on press board I cut into a circle and mounted on a lazy susan so you could spin it. Played twice on it but the guys I played with were interested in the regular maps.

I made this after injuring my leg at work and was immobile for a while. It took a long time, about a couple of months of daily tinkering. I enjoyed it, kept me busy.

What I had to do was cut the map into about 16 to 20 horizontal strips. I didn’t keep the original files they died with an old computer I used. I used the polar function in gimp under distorts to spin the map into a circle.

I would then individually stretch vertically the strips to account for distortions at the outer and inner extremes. Spin unspin adjust, spin unspin adjust.

All the graphics had to be erased before doing this.

Repair all the borders. I also had to tweak individual land masses and continents by cutting them out and pasting them on new clear layers stretch and pull trial and error.

I believe the xcf file still has the graphics on a transparent layer over the map.

Feel free to do whatever you want to it and send me a pic of your results.

My motivation was the Gleason New Standard Map of 1892

There was also a similar map used in WW 2 for people to track the progress of the war at home.

Has anyone created a Community Board Flyer looking for new players? I was thinking of posting something on those community bulletin boards you see in Gas Stations around this area. I drive truck and I go to lots of gas stations all around my area.

If nobody has created one I will work something up this weekend and post it here.

@Imperious-Leader I put Antarctica there instead of a white circle. I also thought somebody could use it for secret nazi bases rumored to have been there. I mounted the board on a lazy susan so you can spin it, (slowly).

Grass Hopper makes a good point. This map is copyrighted by Axis and Allies. The AE map I submitted isn’t mine, that is why I offered this freely on here. I spun the text around and morphed the land masses which was a lot of work but I enjoyed doing it. I don’t think I crossed any lines. Throwing a copyright on a modification and selling it would probably get you a legal phone call. This map is useless without owning the game.

Does anyone have contact with the publishers and have them express their views on all these maps?

@CWO-Marc

You make some good points.

North or south pole are not used in AA. I put the off limits diagonal lines on Antarctica and (Impassable) just as it is on the Sahara Desert. The same would have to be done with the Northern Pole regions. Instead of a big white circle I just plugged in the actual continent for aesthetics. Your right it could be house ruled for secret Nazi bases that the US did search for in the late 40’s. Admiral Byrds Operation Highjump. There is a 1950’s television interview of Byrd out there on youtube that is quite astounding as to what he found down there.

The main problem I ran into with the Northern view was game play-ability. Northern Europe gets crushed as it is so near the pole. The easy solution is to expand the pole to move everything away from the center. But then “if” you are trying to save space, as I was, you run into some trade offs. If your off limits North Pole region gets much bigger then say 12 inches on a 48 inch map your giving up a lot of real estate. The water areas get disproportionately shrunk as well. Much of the game is water based.

I am going to go back and attempt it again. I don’t know if you have ever seen a Galls-Peters projection.

I think if I can morph the AA land masses into something close to that and then do a polar spin on it it would give me a starting point to work with. The AA map is my other limitation I want it to “look” like the original. The same graphics and textures.

Using your idea of measuring the percentage of land vs sea is a good idea. I could probably just through a 1 inch square grid over the standard map and then mark the sea grids. Count them up and I would have my percentage.

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

Thanks for the response!

The area of a 72x32 map is 2304
The area of a 54 inch circle is 2290

-14

This is just total map space. The individual territories would vary due to distance from the poles.

This projection is like taking a globe turning it upside down and smashing it flat. The closer you are to the north pole the more you get pushed out towards the perimeter.

This is a North Pole perspective you will notice Antarctica is smeared all around the outer edge.

You will also notice most of the map is water. To enlarge the northern continents for game play I had to make the North pole a massive area that took up too much of the map. My other self imposed limitation was sticking with the original artwork as much as possible.

I am going to retry a North pole perspective as I learned a lot making this one.

I just thought the south pole perspective would move more of the game playing to the outer edge of the map and be more useful. It does take some getting used to looking at it.
