@CWO:
I’m going to probably print a large transparency map based on the board I’ve been designing based on satellite imagery that is in some serious high definition.
If you’ll be using satellite imagery as the basis for your map, will you be keeping the real-world proportions of the land masses and oceans? The Global 1940 game map, for practical game play purposes, distorts both the size and the shape of various geographic areas.
No, I’ve taken the satellite images and enlarged certain areas so that there is room in places like Europe for the large scale of battle that often takes place there. When I’m done with the map file, I’ll post it here if you’re interested
