Tjoek's A&A Anniversary OOB Map file (Updated March 23rd)

@P-Unit I have actually finalised the file today. Only thing left to do is to generate the different versions and upload them. So watch this space the coming days.

Updated! See first post for new map files!

Let me know if you miss anything.

I consider these finalised for now. If people want me to correct Iwo Jima or Honolulu send me a PM. I might consider doing it for a small fee.

@Tjoek
I’m working on Honolulu as a tribute to all of this work you’ve done. I actually went and carefully isolated the dot, text and shadows out of the background before I realized you can probably just drop it all wholesale, land and sea bits and all, on the correct island.

Iwo Jima is done already, assuming the rotation is all that was wrong with that one.

The real winner, here, is fricking GIMP. Seriously, I cannot believe something like GIMP exists.

Thnx mate! Please send the updates to me and I will merge them with the files posted on the main post.

@vodot Perfect!

@vodot thanks mate! I’ll look into merging your fixes when I’ve got the time. Just started a new job which is consuming my time at the moment.

Regarding Iwo Jima, if you go the route of fixing all the islands to their correct shape you’re doomed with the AA maps. Most of the islands are rubbish. Or simply don’t exist at all. Spot the two fake ‘Atlantis’ islands in the Dutch East Indies.

I’ve updated all 4 map files in the original post to now also include the fixes for Honolulu and Iwo Jima.

Please note that didn’t go with the realistic Iwo Jima (as almost non of the islands have realistic borders), but I only flipped it upside down and corrected the light shading for the new orientation.

@vodot: thanks for your help!

@Tjoek Well i hate to mention this, but you might want to redraw Norway and most of Europe and make a “Realistic Coastline” version and center in on Europe, and add Azores, Maldives, and a few others ( Sicily too). I hate to ask this but can you work on that?

Sorry IL, I know you’re a fan of the more realistic maps but it would be far to much work for something I won’t use myself.

Also can we get a clean version of the map, meaning removed images or pictures because i want to add /replace the pictures with better ones and redo the charts and add some meaningful game play info.

What exactly do you mean? The files I supplied are already with AND without the original pictures for planes, logo’s and mobilisation zone. Just choose the file you like. I cannot think of other pictures to remove…

Well you only need to fix Norway, France, England, Iceland and Greenland. The rest will improve by relation. Like me standing next to an ugly women, makes her more attractive.

Nice try, even though I agree it’s still not worth the work from my point of view.

Hi All,

Somehow I was drawn towards this map once more and included a few more cleanups and enhancements. See first post for all details and new maps.

Updates in short:

• Enhanced colours preserving more details in the map
• Correctly centred 10 territory names
• Renames “Anglo-Egypt Sudan” to “Anglo-Egyptian Sudan”
• Removed two non existing “Atlantis” islands south of the Philippines
• More smaller things

I hope you like it!
