I based off what they pretty much had at peak of war. I didn’t do the 1 piece equals so many. I just made it like Uk 6 BB and spread them out. US I had 7 BB but reduced it to 5. 4 damaged in Hawaii at start of game. If it had like real 4 light cruisers and 2 h cruisers I just made that 2 normal cruisers and 2 more normal cruisers. To eliminate the 3 diff pieces. Everything else straight up with tweaks to setup as we played the game.
Yes the eastern front setup is more like spring of 41 than dec. 41 like pac is. based on the game balance and timing to work
Out. As u see the battle of the Atlantic is at its peak too. More like dec 41 there. Only issue in most games if not all is the d day invasions. Most happen before June of 44 in all games but to get correct US wouldn’t attack Europe until turn 7 or 8 with torch happening sooner
That would be a major setup change and year of turns.
I have my own map for game too.

Do you have a higher resolution map? Something not jpeg?

Set up the game this past weekend using the map and set up charts on page 1 of this thread. Overall, it makes for an impressive beginning…A few notes/questions:
-
Piece density is a challenge in the following territories: Northern Italy, Southern Italy, Rome, London, Great Britian, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland and Yugoslavia. I am creating some “off map” placeholders to help with this problem (those bombers take up ton of space :-)). All other territories handle initial set up well.
-
Germany Set Up: Bavaria is on the map, but not listed on the set up chart. Should there be any German units in Bavaria to start the game?
-
Japan Set Up: Hainan listed on the set up chart but not showing up as a territory on the map. I assume Hainan set up should be ignored.
Very minor issues for a grand project…Game play is set for next weekend - I’ll give an update then…
I will also study the Crusier set up idea.
-
-
Correction from my above post: Found Hainan - island off the coast of French Indochina.
My bad - sorry for the mistake.
-
Correct, Bavaria does not have any units from game start.
the density is an issue yes, just print map bigger. :-D
Also, Make sure u do not put factory on Hawaii
Glad you like it
-
it has been just brought to my attention that the Set up charts are not there.
I will see if I can Dig them up, but any one who happened to get them before they dissapeared, could you plz repost them
Thank you

no one have the place set cards??
-
I do but I don’t have a way to post them
-
I have them but don’t know how to post. Let me know where to send and I’ll do it.
Using your board and love the additional strategic play with the additional szs and territories over other AA maps.
One question on convoy center boxes. They are attached to 3-4 szs. How do you get control of convoy center?

I can’t seem to find My disks with the most Up to date lists, still looking though. Just moved recently.
The convoy Zones- Do you have AA Europe? If you do, read those rules on it and that is how you use them. Otherwise you just sail through the zones with a combat ship.(not a Trans or Sub)
Subs must expend 1 Movement to “clear out” said Convoy. 1 to move in, and then 1 to Claim. If your sub used 2 Movements to get to said Convoy, you do not take control of said Convoy till your next turn, of course your sub must still be alive during your Next turn and expend one of it’s 2 movements to “patrol” said Convoy.I will send you an Email Addy, see if you can Email them to me.

Found out how to use mediafire. Here are your charts. Please see my last post for a map play question on convoy center boxes.

Ok your Soviet link gives us UK list
-
I updated first post with your Media fire links
Soviet Russia is still coming up UK card
Fix that and you will have the gratitude of the entire communityDH420

Here is the Soviet card link. Small price for the downloads and work you did. Do you have a 1939 version? Tried downloading your 1942 file into AICS2 but could not get it to work. First time using AI so I need to spend some time on the learning curve.
Kudos for your comments on the convoys. I was trying to apply the box to AAP rules.

Death:
Is there a 1939 version of this map and player aides?
-
OK Raz, here you go. I found the Neutral Set Up card as well. Download it below. I think I remember DH saying it might need a little work though.
Neutral
http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=c0yctsctgnk&thumb=4Any thoughts to a 1939 version? Once I learn how to use AI CS2 I will start on my own version.
