Hello everyone,

My name is Sergeant gentlemen, and I wanted to show off the custom map that I’m working on.
I’m very new to Axis&Allies.org, so if there is something that I’m missing in this post please let me know.

I’m showing this off in order to get some feedback in any way possible.
The map itself is in it’s very early process.
Currently I’m done with all the landmass.
I’ll definitely add more details to the land, like lakes, rivers, trees, mountains, etc.
My custom map is gonna be a more realistic type of map.

When all the land stuff is done I’ll begin to add the borders, provinces, etc.

I quickly did some coloring for the Central Powers to show off the colors that I might want to use.
Germany black as always, and as for Austria Hungary… well seeing Austria Hangary having a white color in the hoi4 game, surely made it interesting for me to try it out.
I also think the green color fits with the Ottoman Empire, maybe a red color would also work, but then again, I’m open for suggestions.

I’ll be updating you guys on the map.

SGT. Gentlemen.

@Call77 and its not finished like I have said a few times

TRICK OUT YOUR OOB MAPS WITH ARTWORK CUT FROM YOUR SPARE/DUPLICATE RULEBOOKS, LINK IS HERE!!! https://youtu.be/QMkfdDdvqus

@GEN-MANSTEIN said in Huge maps:

Possible. I would perfer a slide out drawer of some sort. Then push back in under the dice box. You can make dice box smaller too and have same roll out drawer for sides.

Yes, that’s a good approach too.

@Panther ah! daylight at last! thanks!!!

And on a related point: if you look at an online map of the world and place a rectangular sheet of paper on it so that one of its long edges lies on the equator (alternately covering, for purposes of comparison, the bottom half and the top half), you’ll notice that most of the world’s land masses are in the northern hemisphere.  All of North America, all of Europe, virtually all of Asia, and much of Africa are located there.  The main land masses in the southern hemisphere are South America, the lower part of Africa, Australia, and Antarctica; the rest of the southern hemisphere is mainly water, which means that for A&A map purposes it’s mostly wasted space.  Oceania, a.k.a. the Pacific Islands, including Australia and New Zealand, did see significant action in WWII, so its inclusion on an A&A map is quite relavant…but by the same token Antarctica is a land mass that’s traditionally (and with good reason) omitted from A&A maps.

i suggest making your game and then bringing it into “table top simulator”. you can test selfmade games there to your own liking. it provides you with all the tools you need. :)
i did that too with mine:

You, sir, are an inspiration.

Given time, I think I’ll “sincerely flatter” your works.
