2. They don’t need to line up the americas, since only an idiot would split it through Japan, India, or Germnay/Italy

They need line up America fors 2 reasons: first is aesthetics; second, and more important, is that you can travel from WUSA to CUSA or from WCan to central Canada or from West Mexico to East Mexico or from a sz to other sz. You need line up America for that

Aesthetics dictates that they spell things correctly and draw sea zones correctly as well. Thus, don’t be surprised if they don’t line up. 
You don’t need to line them up to see which ones connect. Use common sense: Yukon will border a northern canadian tt; BC a southern one, WUS CUS, Mexico-Yucatan, and the sea zones are just as simple.

Maybe they should line up so IL can put all 6 of his maps together and play a sextuple world variation(like the double world variation of risk).

Ok the good aa50 that all of us knows. America doesn’t line up in it and no one complains.

Because thats only one board.  Some of us want America to line up so we could play with America as the center of the board.  Yes, we could still do it even if they don’t line up, but we want them to for aesthetic reasons.

How Ameri-centric of you.  :roll:  It’s hard enough to deal with movement from one side of the board even when it’s the US and there’s NEVER major action there unless the allies are going to lose.  Now imagine a split where there is constant action.  Putting the US in the center would be just about the worst possible way to set up the game.

Besides, you can CLEARLY see distortion caused by the camera lens fisheye on the Pacific side, and even being clever with the photoshop tweak/stretch/perspective transform tool, this composite is OBVIOUSLY still wrong.  So calm the bloody heck down, they more than likely line up just as well as any previous version, where the central US border uses the Great Lakes to fudge any actual perfect alignment anyway.

you know….thats a pretty cool idea…huh someone should put a pic of that up

@GrayBlaZe:

OK, here’s US in the middle, based on these poor maps it doesn’t look good.

That looks pretty cool.  Thanks.  I’m sure we’ll all give it a try eventually.

Canada is simplified, sure, but that’s still way more provinces than ever before.

Yeah, it has 5-7, as opposed to 2.

BTW, I read your article; It was good, although not very useful since most P40 games start with J1 attcks.

They won’t line up, Australia is way to south for these boards to be able to line up correctly. If they lined up it would look like Aus. is just off the coast of S. America, which in reality it is not even close. But that is okay, if someone really wants to line them up that way, then I pity them.

Anyway if Quebec is there in Canada it’s ok…… :mrgreen:

No offense :-D

I hear that Quebec is like another country, France lite I have been told.

not realy, some want to but they are out voted every time(the would be in supper debt to us any way)

@cminke:

if ru from qubec, come to canada one time! :lol:  jk!   so we have qu,on,nb,ns,nf,bc,yc. now were missing,nv,nwt,man,sak and al

You have Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick(that’s in the game?), Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, British Colombia, Yukon(Why is Yc the abbr?), Nunavut, Northwest territory, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. You forgot Prince Edward Island

And stellar work btw!
Thanks

Honestly IMTO seven territories would be enough for Canada.

ON, PQ, Maritimes, NWT, Prairies on the Europe side and then YT and BC on the Pacific side.

Maybe 6 if they combine ON and PQ into Central Canada.

#539

@cminke:

looks like ont is 2 tt

I’m wondering if instead of that being Northern ON they’ve skewed Manitoba or even the NWT.

Tell you, I’m going to need a new prescription if I keep staring at these fuzzy maps!

It should be!
