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

My card deck accessory will be available soon, it will have blow up box cards and mobilization zone cards for each nation. This deck will also have reference card information like order of play, starting income, cost of units, R&D charts as well as turn sequence steps… these cards will reference info for both the 1940 and 1942 scenarios.

@Young:

What scenarios are those? Are they for play on a G40 board?

Yes, there is the 1940 scenario which we all know, and there is a 1942 scenario that Larry created for Gen Con tourney games… all setup charts for both scenarios will also be included in my deck.

Oh cool. I had no idea.

Is the setup listed somewhere?

That’ll be great, YG. Should take care of all the different needs previolusly handled by the game aids on the map itself. Can’t wait to see the deck!

I would also prefer not to have blowup boxes on the map. A small (movable) thing is way more flexibel. You put your units on the card / wooden panel or something and put a marker on the map.

On the other hand, it would certainly be nicer to have blowup boxes with the actual territory on it. A more detailed version of gibraltar / hawaii would be a really nice touch for a box.
Certainly better than a generic “army #1” box. But I guess you can’t have everything  :-) Or maybe we could ask sired to do some blowout boxes of often used territories and release it as a seperate file to the map

This could be done with the right amount of cards… what would be considered necessary territories for blow up boxes?

I agree, I like the original one with wheels, the rising sun is cool, but it’s not conducive to the convoy symbol and I think they should both be cut from the same cloth (so to speak).

…and yes, it’s seems that I am not done, but I don’t want to revisit the card deck project and must spend the time to get it right, I believe this now includes setup charts and blowup boxes.

I like all of those in different ways, so any one you choose sounds great. Have you tried the lettering in front of the Val? It would obscure the wheel a bit, but not entirely. Just wondering which layer in front is best.

This sounds like a good idea.

I like the first one the most.

combination of 1 and 4 is my choice

@Imperious:

Sooo… Number 2 with a Val?

Sired is there any reason you prefer to use a Val over a Zero (I assume that’s a Zero in No. 2)?

Can we perhaps abandon the Japanese characters and have it just say KAMIKAZE like the CONVOY symbol

Personally I actually like the lettered, with wheels behind. but I’m odd!

I’m probably gonna be in the minority on this, but I like the KAMIKAZE word in the same font as CONVOY like you’ve done above… but I would go with a Zero silhouette without the wheels encroaching on the KAMIKAZE characters the way the ship silhouette does not encroach on the CONVOY characters. That’s just me.

Honestly doesn’t matter to me. Anything you pick is an improvement over what is normally there.
