Looks great!

What do you print your map out on?  Is it cloth or is it on some kind of gameboard cardboard?  Is there anyway i could send you a file to print for me?

[Imperious Leader]

I took this to the printers and it cost me $216.00  Its printed on plastic tiles ( I call it the tile system) Its not paper at all, its vinyl thats glued to another plastic sheet. Nothing can damage it except fire and malicious use.

I use AAAflagbanner.com for printing. you can forward the file to them and they will mail it to you. Give them a call.

do they take exact care at the edges to make sure things don’t get cut-off yet at the same time have full page borderless?

cos, its a pain regarding that with consumer printers

if a shop don’t even do precision printing I would just save my money and print on A4 with consumer printer (cheap / expendable)

[Imperious Leader]

This does not happen. The cut is sharp. I did have this happen once however, but i don’t use these printers anymore.

www.AAAflagbanner.com doesn’t work.  are you sure this is the exact webpage address?

[Bob_A_Mickelson]

what are the dimintions of the tiles?  How heavy and thick are they?  Do you know if there is a good way to print A&A maps out on some sort of vinyl or cloth which will lay flat on a table without bunching up?  Also do you know of anyone who could print the map out on a traditional folding game board?  (probably three separate folding game boards for a map this side)

[Imperious Leader]

I don’t know the size. I just tell the guy to cut it in 6 pieces. Its 1/4 inch thick plastic. Take the original map and double the width ( but add 1 foot) and double height and figure out what 6 pieces would be.

[Antholin]

Wow, that map looks incredible. Is this a map that you came up with for your own games? Or were you inspired from another source? It definitely would make for a lenghty game, but full of so many more possibilities.

[Imperious Leader]

No its based on an interpretation of Revised in a historical setting. Its also a combination of AAE/AAP and a version of what to expect from the Axis and Allies Delux project that will be released in a few years.

All the AAR rules have been filtered into what was actually possible from historical/realistic standpoint. Things like defender retreats are allowed for example.

[Antholin]

I like how you have all the different territories that actually played a part in WWII, giving it more realism. I am looking forward to Axis & Allies Delux already and hope it will be a big and engulfing set.

where do you get your miniatures for the additional units i see in your games?  Also what scale should I buy to use along side my revised axis and allies pieces?

[Imperious Leader]

www.skytrex.com

Those are old glory miniatures painted with national color bases. I am assembling a totally painted set of metals and those are some of the infantry. Armor is under review, followed by air and naval.

infantry 15 mm or HO scale or 1/87- 1/72
Armor 1/285
Air 1/700
Naval 1/2400

[Adlertag]

You should stay away from the GHQ-stuff then, since the tank barrels bend

[Imperious Leader]

I did once i found skytrex. I like the GHQ halftracks and destroyers, but thats it.

Color printing can get real expensive. Especially with larger maps
