And on a related point: if you look at an online map of the world and place a rectangular sheet of paper on it so that one of its long edges lies on the equator (alternately covering, for purposes of comparison, the bottom half and the top half), you’ll notice that most of the world’s land masses are in the northern hemisphere. All of North America, all of Europe, virtually all of Asia, and much of Africa are located there. The main land masses in the southern hemisphere are South America, the lower part of Africa, Australia, and Antarctica; the rest of the southern hemisphere is mainly water, which means that for A&A map purposes it’s mostly wasted space. Oceania, a.k.a. the Pacific Islands, including Australia and New Zealand, did see significant action in WWII, so its inclusion on an A&A map is quite relavant…but by the same token Antarctica is a land mass that’s traditionally (and with good reason) omitted from A&A maps.

Hi,
I really like this map, the art, the fact that some territories come with extra IPCs, etc.
It will be probably the next one I will print when I have the chance.
I have not been around for a long time and I probably missed somethings but I have some doubts about this map that I hope you guys can help me with:
- Oil territories. Someone already replied this one to me, has to do with having oil facilities and transporting oil to industrial complexes to generate IPCs, which I think gives a whole new dimension to the game.
2- What is it with the cities with a Train symbol? How does that work?
3- Also, I noticed many new victory cities. How are they put to use exactly?
I am assuming this map involves a bunch of new rules that are maybe posted somewhere, so if any of you guys can direct me there, I will be thankful.
Cheers
