@Black_Elk
Dude! At first I thought you heavily added the map before I noticed it is just a horizontal flip…
Hi Jonas,
Have a look at this thread.
These are my own setup charts. Artwork in line with OOB front, but the way the setup is represented is different. It uses numbers in a table layout instead of the text heavy format of the OOB fronts.
I hope it helps!
Apart from the change that Panther mentioned there are a few more border corrections:
Not it doesn’t affect game play at all as in the rules and especially the FAQ the mentioned territories have always been adjacent and SZ 10 never connected to SZ 64. It’s mainly a cosmetic upgrade, but I just mention it here in case you weren’t aware these countries were adjacent.

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.
@Imperious-Leader said in Tjoek's A&A Anniversary OOB Map file (Updated February 7th):
@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.
@Imperious-Leader said in Tjoek's A&A Anniversary OOB Map file (Updated February 7th):
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!
@IWillNeverGrowUp said in Metal Flight Stands - Different height? Is there an interest?:
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)
@vodot said in Tjoek's 1940 Global Map file (Updated May 30th 2018):
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.
@8thGuards said in Tjoek's Global 1940 setup charts: Updated Dec 23rd:
Just the 1940, sorry.
That’s fine, just wanted to make sure 1942 still needs to be checked. Will do this myself.
I’ve finished your corrections on 1940, but want to release all cards after checking 1942 as well before I upload them to prevent repeated manual work to combine and upload the files.
@8thGuards said in Tjoek's Global 1940 setup charts: Updated Dec 23rd:
I have an idea for something else. What about another chart about 2/3rds of the size of one of these setup charts, divided in two sectors. One sector with a unit price list, another with a mobilization zone for the purchase face. I think would be a lot better than the “fixed” price list/mobilization zone that used to be on the map (before you removed it, which I approve of). Then you could basically put it down wherever you want, depending on what power and which side of the map you’re at.
I’ve been looking at a similar ‘unit stats’ and ‘mobilisation zone’ cards, but haven’t thought about combining this into one card. Will give it a try some day.
@8thGuards Did you by any chance also verify the 1942 setup? Or just the 1940 setup?

@Tjoek said in Tjoek's Global 1940 setup charts: Updated Dec 23rd:
I’ve finished creating all the setup charts for both Global 1940 and 1942. See the first message for the ZIP file containing all files. This does include setup charts for the Neutral powers as well.
Let me know if there are any errors.
They look great!
A few errors:
ANZAC
NSW minor factory (not major)Neutrals
Persia 2 inf (not 3)Germany
Poland tac (not ftr)Italy
sz95 missing subUK Europe
France art (not inf)
Scotland airbase (not naval base)UK Pacific
India art (not mech)USA
Midway/Wake/Guam each have airbase (not naval base)
Thanks 8thGuard! I cannot believe I made this many mistakes. Knowing you I’m sure that everything you found are real mistakes on my part :-)
Will try to fix them this asap.
The setups of both versions are definitely different. A quick search shows this file on BoardGameGeek:
Play aids 1st and 2nd edition global
I do think you need to have a BGG account to download the zip file. After extracting the pdf inside this zip file look for A&AG 1940 Play Aid Charts.pdf as this contains the setups and references for each nation for both 1st edition (in white) and 2nd edition changes (in yellow)
@vodot thanks mate! I’ll look into merging your fixes when I’ve got the time. Just started a new job which is consuming my time at the moment.
Regarding Iwo Jima, if you go the route of fixing all the islands to their correct shape you’re doomed with the AA maps. Most of the islands are rubbish. Or simply don’t exist at all. Spot the two fake ‘Atlantis’ islands in the Dutch East Indies.
very nice pieces and briljant printing quality! you leave me very jealous :relaxed:
