Thanks to everyone who participated, the draw is now complete. If anyone missed the draw but still wants to give the map a try, I’d still be happy to hear about your feedback.

@Cmdr:

Interesting points.

I do notice that sea zones, at varying differences between games, seem to be either more or less friendly than land zones can be when determining flight ranges.

I think, in regards to Europe, the map lines up pretty well with the rules (in the current rendition of the game).  I think in classic it does not line up as well.  Just my two copper pieces…

Then the US figs and Tac Bombers should get to move 6 after T5 or 6

All I have to say is C O O L !

I’ve been following this issue for sometime now.  And as a matter of sharing a “historical event”.  I thought I’d post this link here for everyone’s review.

For a time, “Defense Distributed” could only print some parts of a firearm.  Now it looks like they’ve finally put together the entire package in a prototype! (Minus ammunition of course…)

A reminder - be very VERY wary of any political discussion surrounding this item at aa.org.

@Imperious:

It looks like you employ some of our usual strategies.

Kill the British at Gibraltar is a good move.

Remember the Soviets only get one round against Vyborg for the first couple of turns. They can only take Vyborg as their prize and cant attack Finland in any other way till they at war with Germany or turn 3.

We usually have the British take Persia since they lose the oil at Borneo when Japan starts. Remember also, Japan has a 3 turn oil reserve. They suffer oil shortage rolls on turn 4 if they don’t have an oil source.

You can see that it is impossible for Japan to attack early… they will be crushed if they do because they have not established their power.

In this Germany plays a much more historical feel as they grow in IPC. Japan does not get unwieldy as they do in g40. In G39 the powers are reversed with Germany playing the behemoth.

Yes, I have a hard time remembering that there is only one combat round in Norway and Finland.

My History of the World Map draws the line down the middle of the Pacific; prfectly suitble for AAR the way it usually plays out…

Because YB showed this forum to me.

…and becuase this forum actually debates “relevant” political topics.

Our game group has been looking to do this type of “Expansion” of the game board for some time. Is there places that will enlarge a copyrighted game board for you? Can you do this with low-end color printers and MSPaint? How do you make the .bmp’s bigger? I’d love to get a copy of the file if possible.

The copyrighted thing may be an issue. i really don’t know as I’ve never done it like that. Very costly.
I use a HP Deskjet 612C which is about as lowend as you can get and the copy comes out great. I print it out with MSPaint.
You can enlarge the bmp file with any graphics program that allows you to stretch to size. I’ll email you the file. It’s about 196k zipped up, but it unzips to a 14meg bmp.
None of the territories or seazones are marked, so you’ll have to do that, but it’s not hard at all.
