1939 Map

I like the Map Coach, I do think all the roundels Clutter it up a bit to much though.

Also, I don’t think you should Sell this Map. You got the Template for free. (from Me)
It should be a free down load, for anyone to have.  Just Cause you Covered up the A&A Buy chart with roundels doesn’t make it right, or changing the color of territories.

I did not charge for my map, and all you did was alter it a bit and are charging $ for this?
Just not right in my book, but whatever.

I guess I should have charged people as well (over 1500 Downloads of original file), But I just wanted to share this Beautiful artwork and Game concept with as many people as possible.

I do like where you are going with this, but Disagree with charging people for it

Map is a Free Download on my site and the AAA threads, it always has been
I only offer the map for sale for printing, since I can print it cheaper than most other people can.

I agree with Coach - he is not selling anything other than the printed copies of the map, and cheaper than we can make them.

Here, Here to that!  It’s called economies of scale: Coach has the connections and the retail infrastructure to help us get something cheaper than we could do it ourselves; it’s a win-win all around, way I see it!  I bought a nice Risk map on ebay for like 5 bucks once… cost me another 40 to get it laminated at Kinko’s.  50-100 bucks for a vinyl map this size seems about right to me.

As someone who works in the investments/finance industry, this is capitalism at it’s finest: a win for all.

Value was created by deathshead, capital was added by coachofmany, and lower prices are the result.

SETUP: THERE IS NO UNIT FRENCH OF THE 2 TERRITORY, FRENCH INDOCHINA SAIGON ???

THE SETUP IS CORRECT

I made new set-up charts and a slight Variant for this map if anyone is interested

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=22563.0

A couple of Q’s & Comments:

1. I assume that Canadian & ANZAC units must be built in their respective areas… Do the UK Home & Far East Command units have to likewise be built in one area or the other depending on where their IC’s came from?

2. Do the Red Chinese move on the Soviet turn or the Nationalist Chinese turn?

A couple of preliminary thoughts:

a. You should combine the US & Nationalist China turns in much the same way as the UK-Commonwealth turns are combined, and allow the US to send air units to reinforce/ replace the Chinese “Flying Tigers” unit if they can logistically get there.  Also, Adding Chinese dispositions to the blank section of the US chart can save you some space, too; the blank page on several of the cards looks awkward, I think.

b. Along the same lines, I’d do like you did for Japan, and fill in the blank page for the rest of powers that still have one by moving either naval or colonial Far Eastern possessions to the blank fourth “page” of the card.

c. The Dutch ought to get at least a destroyer or two, a sub and maybe a cruiser.  Their ships (at least 2 cruisers if I recall, + several destroyers & subs) were key components (numerically, anyway) of the early-war ABDA Command, until Japan managed to hunt them down.

Generally, though, I like your set-up charts.  I might use them as a foundation for my own variant.  You should print them up and sell them once you have them perfected.

Hello, I wanted to know, Anzac 10 wins IPC and IPC also 10 wins canada, OR SET IT WIN 10 IPC

THANK YOU

Tigerman77 hello, still a small question, you put the attack suicide (kamikaze)

Tell me when you think back the new version of the board, because I’d like the printer’s most perfectly possible

what program you use to change the board??

thank you

I noticed this map is based on the global war variant and that you used solid colors… I recently made a new module for abattlemap for the A&A Global 1940 http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=22555.0

In it I used the same color scheme as Axis & Allies Global War, I had to figured out how to do it and I kinda did… so I thought I’d share the process with anyone wanting to do the same:

How to make the textured colors in Axis & Allies Global War Variant

Using Paint.net, which can be downloaded at www.GetPaint.net

First I click New and size the new canvas as 60 x 60 pixels (we are creating an image which we’ll use later to fill the area’s of your map)

Select the base color and use the paint bucket to fill the new 60 x 60 canvas

Click on Effects – Noise – Add Noise and just adjust the intensity… I did around 25, but experiment for yourself.

Click on Effects – Blurs – Average Blur and set the radius at 3

Now our 60 x 60 image should look like the textured color we desired.

Save it as mynewcolor.bmp

Now the area on your map that you want to fill with your new textured color, you’ll need to get a plugin for Paint.net. found here http://www.sapphireonline.com/Downloads/PhotoFloodFillPlugIn.zip and just unzip it to the default C:\Program Files\Paint.NET/Effects folder and close and reopen Paint.net

Now with your map open, use the Magic wand and select the area you want to fill with the new color. Then click on Effects – Photo Flood Fill and for Photo File name we are going to use the file we just make mynewcolor.bmp and click ok and now your map will be filled with that color.

How to make waves like in Axis & Allies Global War Variant

I just used Effect – Object – Drop shadow and settings 0’d the blur and only adjusted widening. You might see waves on the land area… no worry… you need to use layers for each wave and the land color layer should be on top of the wave layers and will cover the waves on the land. I also recommend that on the layer you’ll use to make wave that that layer only have the lines you’d like to add waves to… remove all border lines etc so it doesn’t add waves to those etc.

Tip: Always use the duplicated layer, so your not adding effects to your outline layer, always save the original outline layer for other effects.

I use these in my recent module for A&A Global 1940 module at http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=22555.0 where I have the source files for download and you can see how I used them.

i need some clarafacation….
