@vodot Oh interesting, you could have a secondary set of markers for each player to indicate objective groups. These could be taken from a track much in the same way as my design here. Interesting idea. My only objection is the lack of space on the board.

@beaudoin996 oh, that seems so obvious now. Your supposed to move the cubes from the track right to left or top to bottom. Need a little arrow or something on there. Though once you know…you know.

put h t t p s : / /www in front of that link…it won’t let me post links as I am too new still.

I never did post the final results. But here they are:

I got a bunch of wooden cubes to use as markers. For us they made objectives much more manageable.

That makes sense. Some printers (like The Game Crafter), won’t let you print things if you don’t have permissions to use any of the art…and this map being created from the real map meant I might not be able to print it. I modified the coloring slightly so I could do an overlay and it made it through…its a bummer though that I would have to make my own version of the map to sell prints. Oh well. (I made a custom map based objective tracker for AA50).

I haven’t found a version of the objectives tracker that I felt really simplified things. My thought is that each army has a card like the one below to track their objectives. You would have cubes on the bar in each box. You move a cube from the right or top (depending on orientation) and move it to cover the region you have captured. This would have to repeat on other country cards. In this way each player/country tracks its own objectives.

Sized it to be 5" square (to print on boards at TheGameCrafter.com).

I found mixed trackers to be too confusing. And I liked the idea of moving cubes…when enough cubes move to reveal the bonus you see it and can easily collect it.

I also considered combining all 6 like this into one large side board with a region for each country.

I am open to input and thoughts.

(sorry you have to copy/paste links, I am new so I can’t post links yet :)

I haven’t done the other 3 yet.

Has anyone run into issues with getting items with these maps on them printed? Isn’t the work copyrighted? Or have they given folks permissions to print them?
