I’m sure this has been asked before, but (pardon my laziness, I don’t have all day) I’m not about to go through 40 pages of multiple page threads to find it. And the search feature doesn’t work for me (maybe I haven’t posted enough).
Are the territories of Malta and Azores actually in AA50? IL’s awesome map has them, but from what I can see of the original, they’re not there. They are very nice additions to the map, but they don’t seem to be legal territories. Is this correct?
Nice. Thanks for the pics. Love to see the Italian 8th army out there.
So if I walked into a copy store like Kinkos, I would just say, print this, and it would come out the right size (assuming they didn’t scale it in any way), right?
Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure that I have all the info I need before spending a chunk of change on this. I’m going to be teaching 3 newbies and another guy with 1 game under his belt in a few weeks and the 1942 map is just too small for that. I want everyone to be able to see the board.
I was contemplating going with anniversary edition instead (been wanting to print that map out too), but I don’t have Italian pieces, so I think that’s out.
Where did you get the map printed out?
What size was it?
My copy of adobe reader 9.x has a snapshot tool built in (I’m using a PC). If you don’t see it on the toolbar, right click on the toolbar and select more tools. It should be listed under the “select and Zoom Toolbar” part. It looks like a camera with a dashed box around it.

Not sure why I didn’t think of it before but the kamikaze markers that came with the game can be scanned and cut then taped to the board to make them easier to see.
Even better idea: scan the pages of the rule book that have the convoy and kamikaze markers, copy the symbols and paste into Word and make copies of the symbol. Print, cut, and use double sided tape to mount to the board. I had to use paint to isolate the symbol then copy and paste into word. Easy.
Good idea, but just to tweak it a bit, there’s no need to even scan them, just cut and paste from the pdf. And then go with your method.

You could also print out several copies of the page in the rulebook since the pdf is available now. You could also do that with the convoy logo as well, and then paste that on the board. They won’t have the nice blue background, but at least you’ll be able to see them.
From what I gather from reading here, Japan is a bit overpowered.
I don’t know if anyone has thought of this or mentioned it before, so if someone has, please excuse the duplicate post.
What if you combined the UK and ANZAC into one nation? Would that make things a bit better for the allies? Would it make it worse?
I would imagine this as don’t change any of the setups, just replace the ANZAC forces with more UK forces and allow the UK player to build at either IC that’s on the board. And maybe just use the UK’s NOs.
I would also want to couple this rule to say that losing India doesn’t mean losing the capital, it just means that any income that is not from ANZAC territories is not collected unless India is liberated.
This would allow the two nations to pool their resources and maybe get a few more units onto the board and that could perhaps help to stop Japan from rolling over the Allies (as it seems to be the consensus).
I would imagine that something to this effect is going to happen in the 1940 global game that comes out with Europe, though I’m not very well versed on what is going to be happening there.
