While I think having cuba be its own power would be cool, it would kind of like having New Zealand be its own power in g40. You would have to wonder how much they really contribute. Maybe you could make it so that the Warsaw Pact can pay to build units to support Castro and the gang in cuba, possibly at higher cost cuz of the blockades and embargoes and stuff, if the Warsaw pact is smart, like they were during the cold war, they’ll buff the hell out of cuba to prevent a traditional land invasion, and nukes aren’t always realistic. If they’re dumb then cuba will just be invaded and it will be an opportunity lost, which absolutely could have happened if the ussr wasn’t paying attention. I’m thinking about alternative rules where one or two players play each Nuetral category so it feels like they’re entities and not roadblocks, but I’ve got a ton of stuff I need to do before then soooooo… The setup for cuba will not change for balancing reasons, it accurately represents their power near it’s height, which was also the time when it was diplomatically plausible for the US to invade. For your expansion however, I recommend cuba starts the game Strict Nuetral with an army of one infantry.

This a map Ive been working on, a global map, with new rules I hope, but mostly based on Axis & Allies system. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Some developmets in this map…

:-DPretty cool! I wish I could see it in more detail. The only thing I would say is from this picture is Vichy France and China the same color?
-

The more detailed map showed better.
I was wondering why are the islands represented by blobs.
Now I see it. Its actually the border of the island groups.Where did you get the base map?
Its very detailed.Are you using a vector program?

The Islands need to be represented that way, because many are so small but part of a bigger group of islands.
The map I have for some years, only now I have a nice computer to work this out.
As to France and China they are 2 different blues, the are quite distinctive.

You should edit the topic name to something more descriptive.
This is not just “another map”. Its a realistic and detailed map.
Looks a bit like a satellite map by the way. -
Alright! I love new maps and new game concepts - where can we downlaod this sucker? How big is it? What do all the dot’s mean?
-
The map ain’t done yet. For now the file is too big. The dots are just details, they represent cities or town in the railroad line. I guess its those dots you mean…

Houston…we have a problem…
Ok…the map is compete! Finally! BUT…
I saved the file as psd first without layers and…its 1,24 Gb… Then I tried saving as other extensions and could only save as .tiff. The problem is it didnt compress much as its still a 925 Mb file…I cant save as .ai, the program I use doesnt have such extensions. The same with .png as the computer freezes while attempting…
Any ideas?
-
I had some problems with pando so I removed the files.
-
Already uploaded the map. Its in .psd (photoshop format)… download it here:
…
To download these files you need pando too, its very easy to install. Its the best choice I could do regarding the size of this map…Where is “here”? could you post a link to the download.
