Hello!
A friend and I play A&A Anniversary almost exclusively. We are looking for other players in Texas. We are in San Antonio, but are willing to travel for games. Contact me at dagan@usa.com if you may be interested.
Thanks!

AA50 on Steroids!

@bigwatcher said in AA50 on Steroids!:
inspired by Lt.Dan’s BBR Global40 map.
I think it would be good if you give a link to that, so one can compare.
Anyway, I think a foremost issue in how hard is to make sense of Asian Russia is the drawing of the Urals. I don’t know if you decided to draw the Ural mountains there yourself or that comes from this other map you have referenced.
Assuming you did it, I guess that you got this “Urals” territory from Axis&Allies Europe/Global and so decided actually to show the Ural mountains themselves on the map, drawing them along the eastern border of the territory. I think that, instead, if wanting to draw the Ural mountains (which is really not necessary), you should have drawn them on the western (not eastern) border of the “Urals” territory (so, having the Ural mountains between the current “Nenetsia” and the current “Urals”).
Indeed, if you look at the original Axis&Allies Europe 1940 map, you can see that straight to the south of the “Urals” territory there is the “Novosibirsk” territory. Knowing where New Siberia is, this can only sensibly mean that the territory called “Urals” is meant to be mostly or entirely east of the Ural mountains.

@bigwatcher All right. If you would either change the location where the Ural mountains are drawn or avoid drawing them at all, I can take a look at the Sovietic Union once again and give a new set of suggested names for the various territories. I’m not sure of the names I’ve given as I believe that is very hard to collocate names with the map as it is because of the relative positions of the Ural mountains and the north-western corner of China (which is adjacent to both Mongolia and the Sovietic Union and I assume is the Altai prefecture of Sinkiang). Also the Russian railway from Moscow to Vladivostok not passing through the SAMARA territory is a limiting factor to proper naming, as the city which is nowadays known as Samara was a possible albeit not obligatory hub of it.

Hi there,
Yesterday I bought the map from Jaysun (Jayson) Gray.
I asked him, if he could confirm to you, that I did that.
Otherwise please send me a link, so I can copy the payment email to you.Regards,
Wim Goezinnen.

Can you help me out, maybe you can share a link with the edited file to download the map from Bigwatcher?
I little lost hope that I ever can contact him. -
@goekawar I’m not doing anything here (beside giving suggestions). To be clear, I’m not and have never been part of any ones of the projects presented at this topic.
