Just printed IL’s Supreme map the other day. The map is impressive enough while looking at just the file, but the crisp graphics are more impressive while looking at actual printed map. Even caught my roommate down there gazing at it, although I think he just likes the fresh vinyl smell (he’s weird like that) This might sound kind of corny, but It’s been sort of a life goal to have a massive Axis & Allies game map. Thanks Imperious Leader! I took it to Staples and had it printed full size on their sturdy outdoor vinyl, which set me back $125. I’m sure there was cheaper places to get this printed, but that’s where I usually go for stuff, and comfortable dealing with girls who work in there.
Anyway, my first game will be this weekend and I’ll be playing with people with little to no AA experience so I hope I can introduce the game to some new people here and re-introduce it to the others. I would have loved to print out the AA50 map, or play on the Global map, but don’t want to scare anyone away at this point. AA42 is intimidating enough so I’m starting them all off on the easy map.
Awsome ! Great setup.
very nice. Should make IL proud.
Thats fantastic!
I love the fact that you took my advice and got it printed in the proper material. IMO that 16 weight vinyl is the best material, aside from mouse pad material that i am getting a print of in a week. I will post pics when i get it.
Also, The ammo box looks great ( I got one too) and the pool table is perfect as well.
Thanks IL, the pool table worked out perfectly for this map. Just enough room for the trays. I think even your maps that are a full 3’ wide should be ok as well if I slide the top edge of the map under the trays an inch or two.
Yeah, the outdoor vinyl was definitely the way to go. In fact that was their default choice for printing this. The indoor stuff is what you see some of Staple signs made out of around the store and you’ll notice that it feels more plasticy and alot of the signs have crinckles and dents on them. Another thing to note was that not all Staples stores in the area had the nice wide-format printer for printing on vinyl. My local store said they’d have to send the job out, but if I went to the store in the next town they could do it in-store. After I gave them the file, the job was ready to be picked up the next day. Pretty painless process. I was really expecting a lot steeper price tag for this judging by some of the other reports from people, but I felt the price was very reasonable.
Where can I find a copy of the mythical supreme map?

Did you have to list all of them?
yea on my sig. what ‘other ones’ you speak of?
ah ok. without the underline on the signiture block it looks like it was just omitted, that’s all.
BTW the mousepad material, when you get it can you let us know if it rolls up? I know the advantage on vinyl was that you can move it around pretty eaisly. :mrgreen:
Ok sure
The AA50th map = awesome. :-D
Any word on the mouse pad map?
I will be doing this on the next map. All other maps have been printed on the vinyl so i really dont need 2 copies.
However, i might print my Great War map which has seen some changes after more playtesting on that material.
AS soon as i got something i will post.
ill make you guy’s jelous i can get this printed 4 free.

jelous yet??
Yep. I am. I need a map.
Was wondering if you get the vinyl lamented or just leave it.
you can have A&A printed curtains!
Yes, some jealousy here.
You just leave it. It is perfect. the ink is not coming off and soda spills are no problem. I dont even think its possible to laminate it anyway. It rolls up very nice and does not crease with vinyl.
ya i could get them but id rather a aaa bed spred!. im getting my floor done (hard wood) as an aaa map prob il’s
