I just wanted to say that I printed out a very large map size at 2440mm x 1118mm ( roughly 8 foot x 4 foot) on a digital printed transparency with a matt laminate and it has turned out fantastic. The quality was amazing. I searched everywhere to see if it could upscale and could not find the answers. Hopefully this will help someone who is thinking of doing the same.
I have built a custom table with magnets sunken into the table to hold the map in place. I wanted to use the table to play other games so the map had to roll up.
I also wanted to use the table for Global War 1936 and the magnets work well

@Young:
Is there a way to get this file without having to deal with mediafire?
What a pain.What exactly is the problem you’re having with mediafire?
Disregard, I was clicking view and it was putting me through the ringer. I assumed download would do the same. I got it now.
Ya, the view file option doesn’t seem to work for these files on Mediafire… hit this link to see a bigger selection of maps. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=41411.0

Hi all,
the maps are just awesome!!!I’m working on a map variant myself and I was wondering if someone would mind sharing the psd file?
I need to edit country-attribution (nation colors) and other smaller things.
thanks so much for you help!
cheers,

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?

Larry Harris was at YG’s tournament with maps printed….no problems…you’re good to go printing them

I think you’d only run into trouble if you tried to sell them after printing them.

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).

Is there any blank 1940 maps so i could mess around with it?
-
LMFAO. Blank? Thats funny
-
no as in a map without the colors but with the map, borders, seazones, but having it like black and white.

Young Grasshopper would you consider adding my Azimuthal Equidistant G40 map to your list? I recently posted it in here.

We need better places for these maps. Maybe I can just manually upload them to AWS S3 and provide a link. :thinking_face:

We have to be careful about that, these maps could be considered copyright infringement, and it’s my mediafire account that’s sharing these files. I’m not against solutions to better inform our community about them, but I don’t want to attract the fuzz either.

Rumor has it that as long as it’s free, “they” are okay with it. Also, the worse that would happen is a take down notice.

Grass Hopper makes a good point. This map is copyrighted by Axis and Allies. The AE map I submitted isn’t mine, that is why I offered this freely on here. I spun the text around and morphed the land masses which was a lot of work but I enjoyed doing it. I don’t think I crossed any lines. Throwing a copyright on a modification and selling it would probably get you a legal phone call. This map is useless without owning the game.
Does anyone have contact with the publishers and have them express their views on all these maps?
-
A take down notice would be the worst thing ever.

@Young-Grasshopper
I recently posted a few new and updated version of the AE50 map files. Could you please update the link in this thread? It might be a good idea to just link to my thread so you’re always pointing to the most recent version. Prevents the version control hell ;-)Thanks for your efforts to make these files more visible and easier to find for the wider community

I found a map of revised if anyone of you guys need one. It is by IL and includes the setup printed on the board enjoy!!!

@Young-Grasshopper I’m in Canada. Anyone know of an inexpensive online printer that can do an Axis and Allies Global Map. I don’t want any US links as the shipping and customs triples the costs.
It’s a modification of a map, but with pro-axis South America

@Young-Grasshopper I’m not acomputer guy but love the game I would like to buy either your 1 piece or your new deluxe game thanx J"naut

@Young-Grasshopper @Tjoek @Intrepid @ambilzi are these maps still available for download? Looks like the MediaFire links are no longer any good. Thanks!
