Can someone walk me through step by step how to do this? I clicked on the link and followed the instructions and it still didn’t work. I’ve played A&A Anniversary and A&A Pacific 1940 on this site before but for some reason the Europe 1940 map is not working. Thanks in advance!
Improved Forced Perspective Map

Very true. If the UK has units in Gibraltar(or transports in the Med), they could capture Spain by that route, but that will allow Italy to do major damage
Good point. I (at least) have sort of ignored Italy’s presence or abilities here, because they could help Germany too. Italy is probably in an even better position to do stuff in Spain or that area of the Med. than anyone else.

I think that Turkey has a value of 2 IPCs (from the photo we have), so it’s pretty possible that both Spain and Portugal have a value as well (that is pretty logic BTW). I guess 1 for Portugal and 2 for Spain. I hope at least 3 inf popping from Portugal and 6 from Spain, it’s the minimun needed if we don’t want invasion on Iberia a routine. Switzerland could have a value of 1, but it should pop a obscene amount of inf to represent the futility of attacking it and their special neutral status (maybe 10 infs are enough?) or being a impassable territory. Turkey should pop 6 inf as well, speciall given that seems that it’s only one territory
Other neutrals? Sweden could work with 4-5, Eire with 2-3, and probably African and American minors could have 1 each. Let’s pray for the neutrals retaliating as one country and no neutral ACME walls (Mongolia was useless anyway in AAP40, but It’s going to be ridiculous if that mechanic passes to Global)
-
There may very well be a rule that states the US (perhaps the UK also) can not attack “true neutrals”
The USSR, I susspect, will be able to attack anything it wants, besides the other allies of course.

After subjecting the map to all sorts of lighting conditions i was able to pull a bit more detail off of my modified forced projection of the map. Thanks to everyone who has helped to point out details i missed.
Check out the first entry of this thread. I just UPDATED the map to include Sea zones and Convoys. Note that Yellow lines on the map and also yellow convoy boxes are those which i could not clearly deceiver. Enjoy.
P.S. Uruguay is back on the map, as my light test clearly indicated its borders and also its blurry illegible name printed on the map. That means that all Mainland south american countries are represented on the map besides Chile. Other small details changed.

The SZ to the left of France on your map should be split in two. There is a number to the right of the Italian/Soviet sub.

You are correct. The map has been updated on the first page. Thanks.
Also i just noticed that i forgot to add two other sea zones in between USA and England. It should be four spaces to england from USA. That means that fighters cannot fly directly to england in one turn from USA. I guess that means that fighters will land it Iceland?
I’ll update the fix this weekend. Let me know of any other mistakes you guys find.

Map looks pretty close. Good job.

England is 5 spaces from EUS on your map.

Updated map to correct sea zones between Canada and England. (See first entry on thread.)
Enjoy.

Bob, do you think you can make a similar map joining the Pacific and Europe maps?
-
holy crud, Russia is huge :-o
-
by the way bob r u going to do a nother set of charts for g40
Thats the plan, though I can’t guarantee ill get it done fast. I will likely take some time. I’m not a computer graphics guy so it takes quite alot of time for me to figure out how to make stuff look good. I did the AAP40 Charts in powerpoint since I didn’t own photoshop. For clarity sake. I’m planning on making both AAE40 and AAG40 charts.
Bob, do you think you can make a similar map joining the Pacific and Europe maps?
I’m not planning on doing that at this time. Frankly the Russian territories are quite hard to make out and accurately combining the maps may prove difficult. I have considered putting in some IPC values in territories that can easily be seen. Larry has also announced how many IPCs some of the powers are going to receive. France gets 17 in AAE for example. But I’m dreading looking up all that information on Larry’s site. It will be quite time consuming for just a few more morsels of information. We’ll probably get a high resolution map photo at GenCon anyway. So I’m not convinced that the effort will be worth it.
-
When is GenCon?
-
Since the Gibraltar is now a strait you cant have it that way. Look a closer to my map suggestion under, how the seaborders need to be drawn, man.
-
I hope your right and the Mediterranean is arranged the way you drew it razor. Unfortunately I drew what I could see and frankly I don’t see what you drew when I look at the blurry map. Time will tell how accurate my translation of the blurry map will be. Hopefully I’ll be in the neighborhood of 90% correct. Again I hope that you are correct, as it should make for more interesting game play.

The baltic sea is supposed to have 3 sea sonez according to LH
-
A few noteworthy changes that I susspect are true.
A 2nd egyptian territory, Alexandria/Tobruk
Reorganiazed sea zones around the UK, Unified English Channel and 2 sea zones accesable from the Denmark sea zone. (It would be unfair to susspect the Allies could shut the germans in at both the Denmark SZ and North Sea SZ)
Some adjustments in RussiaAnd I saved it as Jpg, oops
-
The UK has only 2 SZ around it?
-
ok….maybe im wrong, the Channel might need to be split and the liverpool area made a seperate SZ.
3 zones i what it should display. but there should be 2 ways out of the denmark SZ so german subs are a real threat.
-
bump so I can find it easier instead of having to look through previous pages.
Is it possible to have this stickied for reference when discussing the Europe 1940 map?
