Thank you all for your help before with the game play questions, I really appreciate it and I’m excited to get back to playing.  Which brings up my next problem/situation.

I have IL’s map and another map.  I live in the USA…I went to FEDEX/Staples and asked them to quote printing out IL’s map (72.5in by 36.5in) and another map that was already split up into 12 sections of 22in x 15in pdf pages.  They quoted each at almost $300.  That is WAYYY more than I wanted to pay to print them out.

I was looking for tips/files/instructions/offers to print/anything that would make it easier to get a big map printed so my friend and I can start playing.  If anyone has these maps split into 8.5in by 11in letter paper sections, that would be PERFECT.  Or if you know how to split pdfs into sections, that would be fantastic.

Any suggestions would be more than welcome.

Please please please get back to me!  Thank you!

Hey guys, I’m going to post my own topic, but I wanted to post it on here since so many people have been talking here.  I have IL’s map and another map.  I live in the USA…I went to FEDEX/Staples and asked them to quote printing out IL’s map (72.5in by 36.5in) and another map that was already split up into 12 sections of 22in x 15in pdf pages.  They quoted each at almost $300.  That is WAYYY more than I wanted to pay to print them out.

Thanks ahead of time guys.  I truly appreciate it.

My friend and I are first time players.  We’re both history buffs, and love war games, and wanted to get into axis and allies.  So today my friend and I went several turns into a game as a trial run so we could come up with questions/concerns/anything that may arise. So here they are.

1. If a sub successfully surprise attacks an aircraft carrier with 2 fighters on it, do the fighters sink as well?

2. Can you attack an enemy territory from 2 or more other territories at the same time?  If so, how would this battle work?

3. Do fighters and bombers attack like infantry and tanks in land battles?  And likewise, can fighters and bombers assist in sea battles with ships (let’s assume no submarines are present)?
   3a) If fighters can attack infantry, what would prevent me from taking off and picking off individual Japanese infantry on the islands?

4. When attacking with fighters and/or bombers, what parts count as moves?  Does taking off, does attacking, does landing?  We were mostly confused on how air battles work.

5. If I fly over an opponent’s territory that has a fighter in it, do we automatically engage in combat or can I continue?

6. Can I pick up 2 infantry in a transport, sail 2 zones and then drop off them into another one of my territories?
   6a) Can I pick up 2 infantry in a transport then sail 2 zones and partake in an amfibious assault, (IE Japan against Alaska first turn.)

7. The board was way too small and confusing, thus putting Germany at an unfair disadvantage because it was so confusing.  So before we play again, I am determined to have a bigger board ready.  I was able to Download IL’s map, (which was absolutely fantastic, thank you so much)  Any suggestions on how/where to print IL’s map? The PDF it dled as says it should be 72.5" x 36.5 inches.  Even suggestions on how to print it piece by piece would be great (I don’t mind putting it together), but I just cannot seem to figure it out. (and is it just me or does it have too many cities on it?)

Thank you so much again.  I look forward to your answers!
