A clear typo is about Gibralter…
GibraltAr… would be better.

Kvenki SSR is, in fact, Evenki Autonomous Okrug.
(In G40, it is Evenkiyski.) In 1942.2, it is Evenki National Okrug.)

Kansk should be Krasnoïarsk.

Archangel need to be Arkhangelsk
Yakut SSR need to be Yakutsk SSR.
because you use “sk” for Murmansk and Norilsk.

Northern Russia, in most A&A game is named Vologda.
Northern Siberia should replaced Norilsk and
Norilsk should replaced Northern Siberia.
Vorkuta (is a city inside) Komi ASSR but in most G40 game map it is usually named Nenetsia TT.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komi_Republic

If you wish to introduce a more WWII inspired region (Tankograd), I suggest to rename Sverdlovsk for Chelyabinsk (as Tankograd).

Far Eastern Republic (is an anachronistic region), Amur is a better fit.

Cyrenacia should be Cyrenaica.
Libya should be named Fezzan or Southern Libya.
Somalialand is spelled Somaliland.

Northern Algeria should be Algiers.
Algeria should be named Southern Algeria.

Sardina (lol) should be Sardinia.
Abbyssinnia should be written: Abyssinia.

Seville or Sevilla is missing in the blank territory just above Gibraltar.
Switz should be Switzerland. Probably not enough space on the map…

Palan is Palau (island)
Papau is not on this island (near Samoa), it is Port Moresby or Territory of Papua.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territory_of_Papua

Malay is Malaya.
Saigon should be named Cambodia and the French IndoChina border drawn southward a bit and renamed: Vietnam.

Bonin Island is plural: Bonin Islands
Singkiang should be Southern Singkiang.
Northern China should be named Northern Singkiang.

Appalachia should be in Northeastern United States, NEUS should be in Appalachia.

All done

Are you going to left a blank for Sahara desert and Himalayas?

The Northwestern part of these Himalayan mountains is named Tian Shan. If you want to split in two impassable regions. As you did on your regular map.

Uzbek should be Uzbek SSR.

Ok.

[General 6 Stars]

Deserts yes maybe

@SS-GEN
For standardization.
Kazahk should be named Eastern Kazahk S.S.R.
Other two (Western and Northern) Kazahk needs S.S.R.

Ok. Yes for added names. I am removing the victory city territories with correct names and putting in the vc

I just realized that Kazakh is spelled with “h” at the end of the word… Sorry.

This is the map we played on for over 3 years with tweaks to map as we played. This is Deathheads map. The confusion is people think this is HBG 39 map and it’s not. HBG took this map template and changed some things on it and made it there 39 global map.
The map on next page is my redesign to fit my 41 game and just cleaned it up. Took over 80 hours and still be a tweak here and there.
A map is never done. Plus a change or 2 will happen on game play over the course of time.
Thank You Deathheads for your map template !

Here is my redesigned map.
Thank you Baron for some history help on it and a few changes.
If I get more time possible I’ll make more changes down the road for a newer map.

@SS-GEN Hey Ray!!! How big is your table that you have in the basement?? I mean measurements wise with the dice trays and all. I am thinking of putting one in my basement but I don’t know if the area is going to be big enough and it is hard to just guess-gauge without measuring?

Thanks- Mark

The size of my table is 11 1/2’ x 5’

I made it in 4 sections
2 4x4’ squares
2 20" x 39"

[AAGamer]

@SS-GEN Ouch, that is big!! I don’t think I have enough room with the walls to do that and have room to walk around them. Well hmm… Thanks Ray appreciate the quick response!! How big did or are you going to make this map that you made??

Mark

Same size. 4’ x 8’.

U look at a 3x 6 maps ?

[AAGamer]

@SS-GEN No I was hoping a 4X8 but the room is 12X15 or so… it would be a tight fit. May have to consider the smaller map ??

[General 6 Stars]

Maybe try a 3 1/2 x 7’ ?

[AAGamer]

Maybe-- it will be awhile have to get the walls finished and all… But thanks for the information!!!

Hi Gamer

It’d be tight, 4 feet on the sides and 3 1/2 on the ends. Might work unless you got added tray space and stuff or if it’s total. You could always lay it out on the floor, blue masking tape or blue chalk if an unfinished slab. Give you a visual on what would work.

Just a thought :)

[AAGamer]

@barnee Yeah Barnee I think you are right… Well… back to the drawing board!!!

Thanks

[General 6 Stars]

3 x 6 map with trays on all sides give you what Barnee said 4’ sides 3’ 3" ends.
With dice boxes being 16" wide instead of 20".

[AAGamer]

Thanks Ray!!

[General 6 Stars]

Well map is done. Not perfect but better than old map. Pic of 2 maps side by side.
