I Believe after round 6 or someone attacks the US they enter war in that game round 5 for Russia

I will be going to Milwaukee WI. July 7th to play a Game on Posi’s original map at AIG. If any one lives near by and wants to play, hit me up with a P.M. and I will add you to the list of peeps who want to play.

Deep Blue, I will take pics for you and everyone else so I can post them and you can see the board in later rounds 3 and on.

Did this thread die?

naw… were listening… its hard when we don’t get those map updates on Friday. But the map is done. Now its no rules update were getting or any direction on what is needed or being worked on in the rules.

[Deaths Head 420]

It’s done?

Where’s the link?
Did he just add it to his sig.

Glad to see that Brazil has been placed in neutral, but what’s that I espy of the coast of southern Guinea?  Not the fabled Rio de Oro of Legend, a territory that only ever existed in Axis and Allies?

This is a myth based on incorrect placing of the Spanish Sahara territory in early version.  If you must include R de O, place it in the correct place i.e. Western Sahara.

Is there any chance of getting a download of the final map? I’d like to print it out and play on it – thanks.

Cheers,
Raider

PS: This map series is by far the best seen to date as for quality, detail and artwork.

I too wanna print out thisa map, man. How do I do to get the right size, only get a small map A4.

[Flashman]

Yes, lets see a full version of the map.

Regarding IPC values, you have to make adjustments for resources, like Romania’s vital (for the Axis) oil supply making it far more valuable than say Denmark, even though Denmark has a higher GDP.

Also the lack of industrialisation in places like China; it’s hardly realistic to allow the Chinese to build battleships even if they reconquer all of China from Japan and have a whopping great IPC income.  In fact, as this was a war between industrialised powers, I really don’t see the case for China being a “power” in it’s own right.  I prefer two Chinese factions controlled by the USA and USSR respectively.

US income has to be throttled, otherwise the Allies siimply can’t lose.

Soviet military strength was way higher than GDP percentage as it had a highly developed war industry, huge human resourses and payed it’s people peanuts; hence it was much cheaper for the Soviets to build a T-34 than for the Americans to build a technically inferior Sherman.  I find it much simpler to reflect this in territorial income values rather than the messy “different unit costs for different powers” approach.

If at all possible, I’d still like to get a copy of the full sized file of this map to print out large scale and play on it at Tacticon in Denver over the Labor Day weekend.  I’m willing to figure out how to convert the file to AI if required but at least I’d have this next weekend to print it out for use at the gaming convention in two weeks.

Please let me know if this is feasible – thanks.

Is this the map everybody is referring to?

If so, it’s badly in need of the Flashman treatment…

If there’s a link to a more accurate version I’ll refrain from further comment until I’ve seen it.  Bangladesh indeed.

Sorry, I was looking for the last version this topic: Reply #448 on: May 25, 2007, 11:12:59 am.

I’d like a vector version (AI preferred but I think I can convert it if I get the original file) and not the JPG version (I already have the JPG – it does not scale-up very well).

Thanks,
Raider

I think this is the latest. Although its 3 months old.

Sorry, but I can’t manage to download a readable version.  I’ll just have to wait for a decent scan to be posted before passing detailed comment.

Anyway I’ve reviewed the earlier version but will update if the new map corrects these errors.

I assume that I downloaded the correct map, but it does have its problems.  On Borneo, the northern British controlled area is called Brunei.  The area was actually called Sarawak, and Brunei was a small part of it.  However, no IPC value for Ceylon, nor any naval bases?  Columbo and Trincomalee were vital to the British Eastern Fleet.  No naval base at Alexandria in Egypt?  Hey, were does the British Med Fleet operate from.  It should have both a harbor and air base there.  Where is Massawa in Italian Eritria?  No Russian naval or air bases in Vladivostok?  No Azores or Bermuda in the Atlantic?  Some very odd IPC values.  This map still needs a fair amount of work.  I could go on for a lot longer if desired.

Same here, but I really wanted to review the very latest version.

You just KNOW a map isn’t finished when Austria is called Roumania…

Wait 'till you see my latest version…any day soon.

[Meethos]

I PM’ed Deepblue to see if he could post his photoshop files here.  Hopefully he will respond.

Edit: Here is a link to the latest version:

Edit: The start date is a combination Summer 1941 Eastern Front and Winter 1941 Pacific Front.
