@imperious-leader Wonderful! Thanks a ton!!
IL's Big Map
-
I don’t want to sticky it because it would look like grandstanding. It does satisfy a need for many but i would have to let everybody get a sticky of their map. What right do i have to place my self ahead of others who also make maps but don’t have a sticky? You see its a can of worms that i don’t want to get into.
-
Ah, I didn’t find any other versions. Im new to the forums and found yours first.
Your suggestion is laminate and put it on styrene plastic?
Thanks
-
Sorry One last question. DO you have the latest version of your map without the charts on the side?
-
yes i have this version.
Also, i prefer styrene plastic in 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick in plates. The map is 72 wide with charts and 60 with no charts.
so for 72 you have 6 plates of 24 inch side to side. if you go with 60 you stick with 20 inch side to side. In either case the map is cut into 6 pieces so its an easy transport.
The lamination is applied directly to these sheets in a fashion that makes it like its part of the plastic.
Basically any proper printing place can do this…except kinkos. Kinkos is the Mcdonalds of the printing business and should be avoided at all costs. Find a real printer.
AAAflagandbanner.com can do the job.

IL,
Do you have an close of photos of your map printed at “Flag and Banner” that shows the quality produced?
-
Hi IL, I’m new here and love your anniversary map! You have been probably asked this before. But, is their a way to print this off with my printer at home with out having to each page off. An then line up your page again before your print another page off? Sorry if it’s a stupid question.

Just print one page of the map on your own computer at maximum quality and add 50%.

if you have a canon printer, set it to poster setting and borderless. If not then yes you have to wing it by printing section by section. You will have to overlap by .5 inches and cut each page to do it correctly.

Thanks IL. I have an HP. I had a feeling that it was going to be the latter of the two. :-( Oh well. I can’t wait to have this printed up. You know of any places that sells the game pieces separately, so I can add on enough units from my revised set?
-
just preorder the AA42 game for $25.99 like i did. Repaint some British for Italian from an older AA Milton Bradley set. You can also use the MB german which are light grey so that will be better.
-
I had a 36" X 72" map printed as one sheet with a 5 mil laminate on both sides for $100.00
It looks great!
Thanks IL ! -
where did you get it done?
thats cheap.
-
IL, I would like your latest AAHE50 map with malta and no charts and the fixes you have made.
Could you give me the link please.Anybody know the trick to inser an image on this?
-
The link is 1.5 inches above your post.
-
No charts,
the link is with charts. -
ok one sec.
-
IL, I must be saying it incorrectly.
I would like the latest map with all the fixes WITH malta and Azores and no charts.
Thanks a bunch! -
ok ill get it done.
-
i could not PNG it its exceeds all memory for that.
This version has some new pictures and no charts 72.5 wide, 36.5 high
-
OK I understand the new AxisAlliesMega map, that is the combined AAE40 and AAE40, will be 70 inches by 35 inches, so that is very comparable to IL’s fine map.
How does that compare to the AA50 map size, is that significantly larger? I’m at work so I can’t measure the AA50 map.
And by the way how does that measure up to The Wargame: WWII by Pegasus board game size??
Thanks for any answers.
