I just wanted to say that I printed out a very large map size at 2440mm x 1118mm ( roughly 8 foot x 4 foot) on a digital printed transparency with a matt laminate and it has turned out fantastic. The quality was amazing. I searched everywhere to see if it could upscale and could not find the answers. Hopefully this will help someone who is thinking of doing the same.
I have built a custom table with magnets sunken into the table to hold the map in place. I wanted to use the table to play other games so the map had to roll up.
I also wanted to use the table for Global War 1936 and the magnets work well

Ok guys, all the focus has been on the Pacific side of the map, but now, it is time to focus on the European side of the world.
I never took pictures of the UK EUROPEAN FORCES, so look for those pictures, soon.
At the end of the year, I will have the US EUROPEAN FORCES, by Spitfire, hopefully, and I will post them, then.
So, look for them, as well. :-)

Very sweet Mr. Brown ! :wink:
Thanks SS!
You, and many others have inspired me to get my set painted, get a map made, and in the process, with help from others, I have learned to paint pieces, as well.
Spitfire did an amazing job on this set.
Thanks for the reply. :-)
