• At the first look it seems afrika it’s not geographically correct!!
    don’t you think?

    bye :)

    Revised
    Size of UK = size of Japan = size of Australia
    Java and Sumatra are a single island
    Borneo is an amoeba
    No Celebes
    Just a few of many goofy but (occasionally) necessary map edits.


  • well other then it being a bit squshed (more to the right side though)on the top i see no problem

    impossible to portray Africa correctly in proportion to Europe. the board would have to be like 5 or 6 ft north to south

    yes probably you are right…

    and i did’t mean problems about game just an inaccuracy concerning the design of afrika.


  • they design it that way cause how much action is in central Africa anyway? its still represented it just looks like your on drugs. :-D


  • IMHO Africa is still too big. I’d rather have Europe blown up further.

    Europe seems smaller than in the original AAEurope game ;)

    My custom board I made at home HAD to be at least 4’ X 8’ to accurately represent the SHAPE of the globe.  My new one will be 5’ X 10’ to make Europe easier to use with more territories.  The only way to get the accurate “map” shape.  I love it though - like having one of those planning maps they used in war rooms!

    The main problem with Africa is in the south-west.  The SWA tt is where western South Africa, including Cape Town, should be. SWA (now Namibia) is a mainly desert territory much further up the coast.

    Other goofs:

    The map places French Central Africa in French West Africa.

    Sierra Leone is neutral.

    FEA really should be split w/e otherwise this is an unrealistic backdoor into Egypt.

    Worst of all, the Sinai peninsular is missing altogether giving Trans-Jordan the east bank of the Suez canal!

    Backdoor into Egypt? How would splitting it prevent this?
