Is this in MS Excel? If so, can you share the file?

Sorry it’s not in Excel.

"Sorry IL, I know you’re a fan of the more realistic maps "

Well you only need to fix Norway, France, England, Iceland and Greenland. The rest will improve by relation. Like me standing next to an ugly women, makes her more attractive.

Nice try, even though I agree it’s still not worth the work from my point of view.

@Tjoek Well i hate to mention this, but you might want to redraw Norway and most of Europe and make a “Realistic Coastline” version and center in on Europe, and add Azores, Maldives, and a few others ( Sicily too). I hate to ask this but can you work on that?

Sorry IL, I know you’re a fan of the more realistic maps but it would be far to much work for something I won’t use myself.

Also can we get a clean version of the map, meaning removed images or pictures because i want to add /replace the pictures with better ones and redo the charts and add some meaningful game play info.

What exactly do you mean? The files I supplied are already with AND without the original pictures for planes, logo’s and mobilisation zone. Just choose the file you like. I cannot think of other pictures to remove…

I’ve updated all 4 map files in the original post to now also include the fixes for Honolulu and Iwo Jima.

Please note that didn’t go with the realistic Iwo Jima (as almost non of the islands have realistic borders), but I only flipped it upside down and corrected the light shading for the new orientation.

@vodot: thanks for your help!

I would definitely say yes! If it wasn’t for the fact I already have flight stands (3 heights for the 3 different planes) I would certainly be getting some.

@vodot thanks! Your print quality is really astonishing. I wish I had a printer with this quality at work. Let alone the high quality 3D prints! Well done

@LevHunter and @8thGuards with some help of @Quirky-Turtle I’ve also corrected a few minor 1942 setups errors. I’ve update the first post of this thread with a new file that now also includes charts for the original territory names of Russia and China in case you are not using my custom map.

Interesting scenario. I agree with @The-Pripet-Martian

@8thGuards said in Complicated battle (scramble, kamikaze, surprise strike, amphibious assault):

Japan has 2 SS in the sea zone, decides to use its kamikazes against the ANZAC surface fleet and scrambles the FTR and TAC that are on the Philippines to force a sea combat (otherwise it would have been an amphibious assault without sea combat).

One small correction though:
You don’t need the FTR to scramble to be able to fire Kamikaze strikes on an amphibious assault. The rules clearly state you can simply do so without the need of trigger a ‘normal’ sea combat first.

The Japanese player has the ability to make
a special defensive strike against Allied
surface warships. Japan is allowed to make
6 kamikaze strikes during the game. These
strikes can be made only in sea zones that
contain the Kamikaze symbol: those surrounding Japan,
Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Formosa, Marianas, and Philippines.
If an Allied player attacks Japanese units in or declares an
amphibious assault from one of these sea zones, the Japanese
player can announce at the beginning of this phase that he or
she intends to launch one or more kamikaze strikes in that sea
zone. They are resolved before any combat begins.

And

A kamikaze strike prevents offshore
bombardment supporting an amphibious assault in that
sea zone, whether or not the strike is successful

(this is at the top of page 16 of the Pacific 1940 rule book)

I mean, the pictures are not going to look as nice as the print, and I don’t have a surface yet or the plexiglass cut to size to cover it. I’ll try to get something out in the next few days, though.

No hurry, I am just curious how you material looks

@vodot said in Tjoek's 1940 Global Map file (Updated May 30th 2018):

It looks awesome. I have access to fancy plotters at work, and I did this on a 36" roll of heavyweight photo paper with a satin finish on maximum quality. It took half an hour, and it is a thing of beauty. I’ll try to get some pics at home.

Just out of curiousity, did you manage to take some pictures? From what you describe it might be very high quality.
