@lt-dan well if you have any interest in adding the fascist Italy symbol and city territories later to create a new additional map let me know! I will likely grab your G40 board but would be interested in a hbg 36 style board but for g40 if you decide to make one.
How you guys making your maps
-
So, seeing all these A&A spin-offs coming down, I wonder how you guys making your maps? I designed a Cold War game years ago, but never got around to making a map. I have no background in graphic design so am really at a loss of where even to begin. Any good programs that a novice like me could use?

I’ve used Paintshop Pro with pretty good effects personally. It takes some getting used to if you havn’t used many graphics programs though.

Pencil and paper are my mediums. I don’t have any expensive programs and I’m really cheap with printer ink. Two pieces of ristol board are $1 at the dollar store. I made an anniversary map by hand by finding a simple anniversary map and printing it off small size, I think it was 4 8 1/2 x 11 sheets and gridded it off and drew grids on the Bristol and drew it box by box. Dollar store paints and a sharpie.

I use Photoshop Elements. Its not the best but it works.
