Very nice! Getting those swirls to match is really difficult.

cyanight & others,

Very nice!
––I’m glad you liked them.
Getting those swirls to match is really difficult.
**––Not to mention these pics are enlarged to approximately 4 times the size of the actual unit.

Awesome Tall Paul! I take it this is your custom map?

Barney & Others,

@barney:

Awesome Tall Paul! I take it this is your custom map?
––Well, let me explain. My now “old” custom enlarged map was simply a OOB mapboard that I had professionally enlarged 150% to 48" x 108". I had this done 5 or 6 years ago. If I were to do it again right now,…
I would definately start by using “Ambizli & Grasshopper’s” custom drawn map utilizing all of my own preferences. And by my preferences, I mean if I wanted the Air and Naval Base references deleted, Convoy Boxes enlarged, etc., etc. These Guys are the ones that have the computer design talent that can make that happen, as well as being nice enough to customize their map to my(our) desires.

––My “Grand Maps” (72" x 162") will be:
an A&A 1940-Global, 2nd Edition (of A&G’s origination)
and a HBG Global Warfare 1936 / 1939 map.

––The reason I want my “Grand Maps” is not just for the “Cool Factor”,….
but to allow me to have games with many players (more than one PER COUNTRY) when we have our BIG “get togethers”. Just imagine the USA with it’s forces divided by **“theaters”[b/].

Guys,

––I had a few minutes so here are some FINISHED pics of the German Capital as produced by SHAPEWAYS. And, for whomever asked, these pics were taken on a standard OOB gameboard. I hope you enjoy!

These capitals are very cool! Makes me really want too consider investing in a large scale map……so many more options you can add to the experience of AA!

––Thanks, I’m glad to enjoyed them. I’m even more happy that they may have INSPIRED you to consider the possibility of a “large scale” map.
……so many more options you can add to the experience of AA!
––IMHO the money I spent on a “large scale” map was not only the BEST A&A investment I’ve ever made,….
but also gave me the “Best bang for the Buck” as far as FUN received for money spent. Let me explain:

–The BEAUTY of a well done “large scale” map is obvious.
–With everything being spread out it makes things EASIER as far as planning strategy/tactics for all players.
–Also, I’ve found that the game goes FASTER because each player can see & plan their moves quicker.
–And another “bonus” is that it’s LESS STRESSFUL because everyone isn’t afraid of making the dreaded mistake of mixing up units that are too close to each other, especially in Europe at the start of the game.
–With everything spread out and easier to see allows the game to be more ADAPTABLE as far as using addition NEW UNIT or FACILITY TYPES .
