I guess you can’t say JAP? Ok, fine the Japan attack
Large scale AA42 map

And one more idea :
I just took your old map ( around 91,5 MB) and saved it again in Illustrator CS3 as a PDF file with the option “Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities” unchecked.
See here ( first line ) :
This reduced the size from 91,5 MB to 16,9 MB ! Maybe you try this.

I just tried this as well and that’s what I got. Good solution. :-D

But if you check this can the file be edited?

Technically yes (however not easy). But for those people that just want to get it printed I don’t think that would matter. Maybe offer two versions? One that everyone can download and a second editable file for those that can find someplace for you to upload it. Just a suggestion.

Hey guys, I’m going to post my own topic, but I wanted to post it on here since so many people have been talking here. I have IL’s map and another map. I live in the USA…I went to FEDEX/Staples and asked them to quote printing out IL’s map (72.5in by 36.5in) and another map that was already split up into 12 sections of 22in x 15in pdf pages. They quoted each at almost $300. That is WAYYY more than I wanted to pay to print them out.
I was looking for tips/files/instructions/offers to print/anything that would make it easier to get a big map printed so my friend and I can start playing. If anyone has these maps split into 8.5in by 11in letter paper sections, that would be PERFECT. Or if you know how to split pdfs into sections, that would be fantastic.
Any suggestions would be more than welcome.
Please please please get back to me! Thank you!
I have a place that will print it 36"x 72" one pice lamineted, for $110.00 each if I print three.
They give me a discount because we use them for our work ay my job. -

Just don’t sell them on ebay like the last time :-D
I make these for your personal use, not a business.

It went with the 50th Anniversary game. I did not profit from it!

finals of both maps are done. These are the clean versions. next is both with more fancy stuff, then a third that is something new and lastly the same process for old MB edition will be done. I hate the revised map and refuse to make anything that supports it… too ugly.

OK here they are. Luckily they were accepted at Mediafire ( 200mb or less)
about 189 MB each…
Please don’t ask for alternative roundels. You get what you get. However, if you have some great ideas ( like adding values to neutrals or new territories for a new version, then be heard.

Very nice IL, you are the man!
Thank you for your hard work. -

AA42: with some additional artwork modeled like the pictures on the OOB map.

IL,
If there was 10 people that wanted your map printed on heavy stock, laminated both sides, i can get it done for less than $75.00 each plus shipping. It might be even cheaper,the next proce break is at 25 and it drop to $63.00. I could check! It is your call IL ! 33" X64", or I could go 36" X 70".
Let me know IL, I am not interested in the 42 map but I do like the AAHE50. -
I don’t see the point in giving away $75 when you can get a reasonable result with a good printer, some self-adhesive film and a little spare time for less than $5. At least it’s good enough for me.

This is final for AA42. Nothing more to improve.

Great map! Too bad I already laminated the first one, makes the game a lot more fun…… The only blemish I see is that the border with Gibraltar extends across the Med down into Africa. Also, Midway is missing a control marker.
