AARHE: Map files

[tekkyy]

cool
that reduces rules file from 30 pages to 18 pages straight off (National Advantages is 9 pages, Optional units, Rail, etc)

my early prediction, 15 pages
very touchable

[Imperious Leader]

yes we could make them a separate file. Thats good thinking Tekkyy!

[stuanderson]

Does anyone have a copy of the standard map file (or historical for that matter) without the country names, national markers, or VC/IPC numbers on it.  I’m basically looking for a map with just the countries outlined.  if anyone could be of assistance I would appreciate it.  It can be in PDF or Illustrator format.

[Imperious Leader]

Sorry just use the AARHE map. Use GIMP to edit.

@stuanderson:

It can be in PDF or Illustrator format.

hi

I can give you the .ai file
all the icons are in separate layers
so in illustrator you can toggle on/off for all everything
in 15 seconds you can tick on/off the IPC icons, VC icons, setup icons, etc independently

by the way what are your plans?
making a new map? customized gameplay?

[stuanderson]

I want to use it for customized gameplay.  Illustrator format would be excellent.  Just send the file to my email address.

[tekkyy]

stuanderson, I’ll try to send you the file soon

[tekkyy]

hi stuanderson
you get can the blank here http://home.exetel.com.au/cometo/aarhe/maps/20080321_AARHE_blank.ai

[stuanderson]

Thanks.  Just got to learn how to use Illustrator to it’s full potential… j/k.

Do you really did it,after carefully trimming and taping them all together the map was glued to a nice 1/16" pressboard surface on a 1" x 2 " frame for stability.?

mediafire.com will handle it.

I printed out your map Imperious Leader at 36" x 72" as one piece with a 5 mil laminate on both sides.
Very nice! Thanks!

[Imperious Leader]

ah good. now play a sample game and don’t use the optional rules until you got the normal stuff down pat.

I assume your talking 1939 AARHE?

[HBG]

No, I started with the AARHE42.
I need it in a 1939 version but will probably buy the 2 new ones coming out instead.

[Imperious Leader]

oh ok. Then the rules are easier…

[Streifenkarl]

We printet out the map at 118" X 60" on a expanded polystyrene plate
and build a table with drawers for the miniatures around the map  :-D
we took the big miniatures from A&A for more details and now the game
is perfect.

We all want to say THANK YOU for your amazing map Imperious Leader.

Here i have some pics for you:

Wow!!!
That is huge. I thought my 48"x 96" was big but……
I have map envy! :|

[Imperious Leader]

I few comments:

I see on the wall you printed my Great War map and the expansion map for Africa.

Have to played a game and also what version of the rules did you use?  We are at like 12.0

Also, the map you printed on the table is not really AARHE, but can i assume you are using the map along with the rules for AARHE 4.0?

@coachofmany

Because of the good quality of the map from Imperious Leader we could
realise the size of this great map. We wait wishfully for the global map 1940
(AAP & AAE)

@Imperious Leader

Yes the great war map is awesome too but we played it only a few times with
rules 9.0. did you have any link with the new rules pls? this forum is a little wired
for us german krauts :-D

You’re right this is the wrong post because i didnt find your original AA50 map post,
we play this map with the original rules from the aniversary edition and some other
inventions.
