Hi @siredblood - the map and all your other customizations look amazing. I’m particularly liking the color scheme on the map.

Not knowing how much difference there is between the maps: Would it be possible to make a version of the map suitable for play with the Anniversary version of the game?

Keep up the great work, man!

Working off of this images, I’ve started on an even more cleaned-up version of this map, as well as a little more subdued color scheme. I wanted to make the colors more “vintage”.

Here’s a preview:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ybcqfsilx6fbnsb/aa-classic-workinprogress.png?dl=0

Done so far:

• Removed the original sea (almost done)
• Removed the original logo and added a new one (from Anniversary edition) in a new location
• Inserted new Roundels (from Anniversary edition)
• Toned down the colors and adjusted color balance
• Added roundels in the bottom left corner (turn markers)
• Cleaned up the small maps top left and bottom right (work in progress)
• Created a new border
• Straightened the map itself
• Added new ocean names

To be done:

• Remove damaged type in creases and add new text
• Clean up the rest of the sea
• Add some texture to the sea
• Adjust colors further
• Clean up the compass
• Look into adding more game-aids to the map itself
• Add IPC markers to the bottom
• Clean up the small maps top right

I’m aware that some of the islands and names are gone in this version - as said: It’s work in progress.

Will share the full size file (100 cm wide, 200dpi) when I’m happy with the result.

I’m open to suggestions :)

Hi @vodot ! I most definitely do. I have the color mods on separate adjustment layers in Photoshop. It would be a breeze to export multiple versions.

Hi guys! It’s been a while. The file became so big that my laptop didn’t like it anymore ;) So I had to wait until my Hackintosh was done. It’s now done, and I will resume editing of this file.
Are you guys interested in both the classic coloured version and the darker/stylized version?

Thanks @AcesWild5049 - you did good work with the scan. I didn’t really, they’re just not been painted in yet. As mentioned: Work in progress ;-)

@Imperious-Leader Is the map you’re mentioning the one called milton bradley axis and allies.pdf?

This one?

@Imperious-Leader Yes, I can try to increase the size. Think it’s possible to do it with decent results in Photoshop. If not, I’m considering doing a new pro studio photo of the board.
