Larger Map

[General Retreat]

Thanks. I’ve downloaded “House Rules.” At first glance, very different. Which rules did you use? If using standard rules, are there more reinforcements?

[Imperious Leader]

Yes download the rules. They allow more pieces because the campaign is modeling the longer struggle. IN the original game its ending by Dec 25 or so, but mine is to 13 turns, plus you can try and trap the British up north which was the goal in the first place.

:-D We meet again, Imperious Leader!

Hey, just how big is your Variant Map? How many 8 1/2 X 11" pieces of paper does it require? I’m trying to calculate how much room I’ll need to store and play. I’d also laminate the assembled map and need max dimensions for that process. When I view in Ie, I get dimensions of ~80" X 73" and that’s huge. When I view a donwloaded file in Acrobat, I can’t tell what I’ll get.

[Imperious Leader]

Its basically the original map with 2 rows of hexes further north and 2 rows further west. Thats perhaps just 25% larger than OOB map.

[General Retreat]

:-) So the hexes are the same size, I take it. Good. I’ll try it. Thanks again. :wink:

[Imperious Leader]

slightly larger but very close.

[General Retreat]

:-o Help! When I print I get a single page and the map is only 5 1/2" X 4"

What’s wrong?  :?

Update: By changing Page Scaling to “None” I get the correct size but still only one page, a page including Bastogne.  :roll:

[Imperious Leader]

Set your printer page size to large format

set printer on poster or print section by section direct from the box on the left that you use to move the artwork and print each section.

The map is not ‘small’ by any means.

[General Retreat]

:-( Sorry, but I’m not seeing all of those options. By default, the picture comes up in Adobe reader (Version 9.0.0 on my machine–I’ve tried Adobe help and it isn’t) Under Print Setup, Layout, I’ve chosen Layout Type: Poster Printing–has changed nothing. In the Print Setup, paper size doesn’t show a Large Format and I can’t find that anywhere else, either.

I don’t see “large format” anywhere. Moving the map around before selecting the Print menu doesn’t work. The sections jump around and don’t line up.

I’ve looked at it in Paint and it’s a bit small.  :cry:

So what’s wrong!?  :?

[Imperious Leader]

when you get it done, please post a picture of the map during play.

thanks

[General Retreat]

:-D That may require another thread. I tried to post a picture some time ago and got nowhere  :|

[Imperious Leader]

ok you goto www.mediafire.com and upload the jpeg or whatever.

Then provide a link.
