yes 1943 would present a big armor battle, plus allied landing at Sicily. The axis would have to choose either attack on the eastern front, or hold panzer in reserve for Allied D-Day. The axis would have some automatic techs
Jets
Super subs’
Rockets
plus others
Allies have LRA, Radar, plus others
Ok, Maybe I seem to Hard Core ( I studied History in University for 5 years) But I would love to create a 1939 scenario for this new board. Im all for the extra long games, also I enjoy the “what if” factors.
I think the 40, and 43 set-ups are a great idea… And I know to do a 39 scenario would require turn restrictions on many nations to keep the game and historical balance. I think I will be working on this in the future.
Any other hard core players interested in this?
Yes of course but this site have this already for revised.
If you do a 1939 thing the scenario needs to have alot of rules for it to make work because so many types of strategy are possible and limitations need to be in place.
also consider something where your just playing Germany against Russia with set pieces involved and extra money coming in abstracted. That gives you a quick 1 hour game for Barbarossa and no fleets. People can print off just this portion of the map and play Germany v Russia to perfect strategy when they play full games. It would make a great tool to sharpen your tactics. The key is to script the actual game situations to make it seem like you modeled how AA50 plays out.
when preparing the scenarios for 1940/43 add your unit tokens to this map. Use gimp to edit the icons from the section of the map.
Thanks for the advice. When I begin this 39 set-up I know for sure where I will have to come for advice and input.
I will wait and see how you guys develop the 40 set-up, then maybe I’l think about the 1939 version of AA50. Maybe im just looking for an excuse to make French unit molds :roll: and French dice
Verry Nice map IL.
Love the pictures fades in back ground. Nice proportions and territory shapes. I also like the border specific colors.
And my holy grail, UK is at a more realistic lattitude.
I agree with Kruppsteel, 1943 will be too defance. I want that 1940 campaign with Bismarck sinking Hood.

the map is verbatum from AA50 , except i added names Sicily and Corsica because the islands were too large to ignore
IL, is it possible for you to change the file format from PDF to a bmp of jpeg format?
That would we could chop the map into smaller pieces to make a huge laminated map from it. :-D
ok ill get it done
Thanks a lot! :lol:
i cant save at Jpeg, PNG, or BMP. It prompts a memory error saying the file exceeded the capacity.
I have the original .ai file and PDF. thats it.
Shoot :cry:
That’s the error we were getting as well, but in order to chop the map into let’s say 28 identical pieces we need exact measurement on pixels. We were hoping to use your map as our final play map of our little group.
Ill try to get that by other means and post.
I also posted the PDF which has the 1941 setup on the map which would facilitate setups.
