It’s a general concept of every A&A game (at least those on a Global scope, also 1940 Europe and 1940 Pacific).

I am looking to save a few bucks, and it has occurred to me that if I buy the map and rule book I can play this version with chips and sculpts from my other sets.
My question is: Can the A&A: 1941 game board fit nicely into a 1942 (1st edition) game box?
Cheers.

The 1941 map folds to 8 3/4 x 11 3/4 inches (22 x 28 cm).

Thanks!

The box dimensions for 1941 and and 1942 (1st and 2nd edition) are identical, so as long as you have enough space left in your 1942 box for an extra board and rule book, you should be set.
I fit my 1941 board and instructions in my 1942 1st edition box along with a larger DIY board (I took out the original 1942 board and store it in my 1941 box along with my unused 1941 pieces) and several other DIY add-ons and storage trays. It’s a tight squeeze, but it all fits and the box closes completely.

Where are you going to buy the map only from?

I can think of three places to find an A&A 1941 game board: 1) Ebay (which is dependent on people putting it up for sale; 2) HistoricalBoardGaming.com has that board for sale in the States (http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/Axis-Allies-Game-Boards_p_1969.html); and 3) Stratak.com has that board for sale in Europe (https://www.stratak.com/epages/63269889.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/63269889/Products/AHAXIS_1941_SB).
So I would say that zooooma has some options in getting game boards for '41.
