Europe Map Projection Redux

[allboxcars]

@oztea:

i also forgot to lable cyprus

Nunavut is Nunavut because i think there is already a northwest territoreis space in pacific….or is that yukon territory…i cant remember

I think it’s Yukon.

[Richter von Manthofen]

Yukon and British Columbia

Some thioughts:

I start from the OLD Europe Map.

Yiours has some features that seem Ahistorical …

AMERICAS

Canada - I think there wont be that many provinces: merge Newfoundland with Quebec, Merge Manitoba and Nunavut (or whats called)
USA - I had hoped that the US is split into NewEngland, Old South and Great Plains (add NewOrleans as another VC please ;)
South America - I think Brazil should start as NEUTRAL Allies leaning…
Guyana could should be UK, but I think it will be left out.
I’d suggest to Split Argentine int 2 (Chile)
Wondering if Equador, Paraguay and Uruguay should be on the map too

AFRICA

North Africa looks good to me (maybe a VC to Lybia)

I do not like the look of the Congo/Nigeria area - I especially hate the SouthWest Africa “label” Its so wrong…
Another territory carved from the Sahara - Tchad
Mediterranian- another SZ splitting Corisca and added Baleares
Malta SZ splited into East and West
Create SZ splitted to North and South

ASIA

Split Transjordan into Palestine and Transjordan
Split Persia to North and South
Split Dheli to Baluchistan and Bombay (instead of Dheli)
Instead Yemen better Aden (in the 40s)
Add Kuwait as UK posession NOT bordering Transjordan.

EUROPE PROPER

I LOVE Green Spain ;)

AUstria SHOULD CZ and Hungaryare too much in the East

Austria should be between Bavaruia and Northern Italy and not Bordering Bulgaria
Italy could be one more territory maybe
Add Bessarabia teritory- bordering Romania instead of Hungary
Instead Novgorod /(city) better Karelia(merge karelia/rename

BTW I loved the Circle treatment of the russian Cities in old AAE ;)

Yugoslavia should border Greece

I believe Vyborg should be smaller and Karelia extend to Encompass the Kola peninsula which is now falsely treated as part of Finland

Finland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania should start Neutral - Axis leaning IMHO

BTW - great job you did here

“Hey Emperor_Taiki, East Africa – how will this be represented in AAE40?
Well I think so. I mean the French, the Italians and the British are all represented down there. I mean there’s Kenya, Tanganyika Territory, Rhodesia, Union of South Africa, South West Africa, British Somaliland, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and an administered from London - Belgian Congo, and that’s just the British stuff… Hope this answers your question.” - Larry

[Guest]

You didn’t name the territory in the middle of France.

[oztea]

“I am the man with no name…zapp brannigan, at your service”

whoops on that france thing…

[Guest]

Also the upper right Russian territory is missing it’s name as well.

I am not criticizing, I am only trying to be helpful.

Thanks - I did not know that LH himself confirmed ;)

BTW - Is it confirmed that South West Africa lies just south of French Equat - Histtiorical I would it put where todays Namibia lies (South of Angola - North of SA)

Hey guys, I’m new here.  I assume this will be the AAE40 map?  Its still being worked on?  Release planned for?…D-Day or Gencon?

No this is not the actual gameboard. This is just somebody making their own gameboard.

Oh, ok.  Thanks.  By the way, if I can put my two cents in…maybe there should be some kind of naval(not air) restriction on the Western Allies from going into the Baltic?..such as they need Denmark and/or Sweden?

[Bigtiti]

Eireland should be 100% neutral, not pro-Allies
perhaps even pro-Axis (IRA would cooperate with jerrys)

[Flashman]

OK, lets rock:

“SW Africa” on this map should be French Equatorial Africa
“FE Africa” should be British West Africa
North Norway goes much further east, but Finland has a small Arctic coastline
Serbia should be in Yugoslavia, not Bulgaria
Transylvania should be in Romania, not Hungary
You need to add Thrace (i.e. Turkey in Europe)

Russian territory names:

Vyborg = Karelia
Novgorod = Ingria
Orel = Byellorussia
Belorussia = West Russia
Smolensk = Central Russia (i.e. Moscow)
Ukraine = West Ukraine (Kiev)
Kiev = East Ukraine (Kharkov)
Karkov = Donbas
Caucasus = Volga
Georgia = Caucasus
Novosibirsk = Donbas
Archangel = Komi
Bessarabia = Volhynia

[Guest]

It looks like Flashman wants to make just a few changes to your map

[oztea]

The names of the russian territory in the far north east is a continuation of the territory on the pacific gameboard

Thankyou flashman for the names, its a big help….im never realy sure what to call what in russia, when I grew up they were just “the bad guy”

Ireland wont be an axis ally, thats just a silly pipe dream…just because you dont like your neighbor down the street, you dont help a burgluar break into his house…you might not help him though

Please dont assume this is the offical map, I take that as a compliement however. Id like to think im somehwere in the 50%-75% accuracy range

In my house rules I treat the denmark as a “straight”, so you have to control northwest europe to allow acess to that sea zone. (unlike a canal where you need both sides) But I dont think this will happen in E40
I also dont think gibraltar will be a stop gap sea zone…other than the UK keeping boats there so that it is

[oztea]

so far ive managed to squeeze in a few typos in every incarnation of my map

maybe WOTC would like to see my resume

[democratic leader]

My thought was to have a stright rule for Low Lands/Norway and if they want to send ships across, AA Guns in either territory fire in a 1 round combat at 2. Mabey artillary could fire at 1.
