Sired's Map project - Updated- 4/16 - files available see first post

@Mr_Tricorder:

Serulf, I replied to your PM, but I don’t see my message in the outbox. Did you get my reply?

PM’s don’t auto-save… if you just PM someone and hit send, there’s no trace of it on your end… it went out, but it ONLY saves in your outbox if you check the “plz save this to my outbox” option in your send message screen.

I’m not averse to printing a map at all, and the map files I’ve seen are indeed waaaay better. Truth is I just recently purchased the 1940 games and would like to get some use out of them before I abandon them for the master map. And will definitely look for the sticker paper my next trip to wallyworld. Thanks for the suggestion DK.

Yes, please.

Thnx IL!

This looks like the 1942 board judging from the border of the territories. Although the sea has been painted differently and the map shows anniversary.

Unfortunately the resolution is a bit small for a nice large print.

I’ve updated the approximates sizes/scales for some basic and alternate units.  Keep in mind that many classes of ship and aircraft, though in the same class, varied in size so my sizes will be off on some units.  If your like me I want to be able to visually distinguish between units quickly so keeping classes similar in size I find works the best. Below is my guide/attempt to standardize my pieces where they are relatively the same size for their respective class.  I’ve added some alternative classes that I use in my games and ties in some of the alternate pieces that HBG is putting out.  If you need something scaled and not sure how to do it let me know and I’ll do my best to help.

Carrier 6.5 cm 1/3700

@ancient:

Has anyone made any counters/Labels for the HBG miniatures?  Something like they use for Struggle for Europe and Pacific.

I’m not sure to what you’re referring.  Are you talking about replacing the plastic miniatures with tokens? Are you talking about identifying labels which would be be put on the board next to the plastic miniatures?  Are you talking about naval task force markers and their land counterparts?

From now on can we split Spain in half.
Even though its hardly relevant, its weird seeing a territory touch FIVE sea zones.
