Global War 1940/41

[Starke Von Oben]

Hey Deathshead!

My map has taken a bit longer than usual to sort out, since it’s taken a while to secure funds from the members of our  club to pool their cash together.

Should be here by next week. Pics will be posted, but bare in mind I’m moving house and so it will take a while to set up my new gaming room ;)

Howdy all.

I was in need of a replacement AA world map so I choose this one to have printed.   Mainly because it looks so good but also because I know how much effort went into designing it.    A huge thanks to all involved; that’s for sure.

The printer asked if they could tinker with the size a little bit to better fit on their available stock.   I said sure & the price came out to $40 cdn.   Quite reasonable for what I got I think.   The material is a coated matte on the printed side & quite thick.    Again, for what I paid I’m thrilled.

I just got it home on Friday & I’ve been admiring it for the past two days.     I probably should have waited to post this after I’d figured out the exact dimensions & precisely what it was printed on.   All I really know that it’s a beautiful map & I’m itching to play on it.

Here it is draped unceremoniously over the chair in my computer room:

well thank you. The colors look perfect, But I am afraid at that smaller size, you may run into some piece density issues. It may or may not clear up after rd 1 stacking, But I hope it works for you.

Thanks for printing it

Deathhead,
I am painting my Infantry, can you give me some Maximum numbers of Infantry needed for your game of each nation so i do not paint as well as buy more than I need.
Thanks.

Use your setup charts, to figure out how many  different stacks of say inf. you have for each country, I would have 2-5 extras of each country’s units above say set up.

Now there are exceptions like, Japan only starts with 2 tanks on the board, But if you have ever played any AA game, you now that 4-7 tanks is not going to cut it.

1.  why didn’t you do a 1939 map?

2. what program did you do your map on?

3.  looks great.  Needs more sea zones between S. America and Africa

Has anyone used this module www.axisandallies.us/G10.gim.zip for this game? Does it need to be updated? Let me know.

[Deaths Head 420]

Played another game, and I am happy to say that the Axis won because of a prolonged and successful  Sea Lion Attempt(s)

Japan Tied up the US in the Pacific By taking Hawaii on rd 2 and Forced the US to all but ignore the Atlantic, Meanwhile the German Russian Front Lay stagnant while the Kriegsmarine Conducted landing after landing on the British Isle’s

Well 2051 people have Downloaded it as of today. I wonder How many have actually printed it?

I managed to sift through and find some excel files that have the setup plus a “variant” setup.
I am trying the first 1942 setup.
