Would someone be so kind as to direct me to a link of the World at War Map from Xeno, thanks!
Edit: *digital copy available for download
Two maps for you, one older style, one newer style:
First map (source) :
and Second map:
I hope that helps.

I should have specified “available for download”. But thank you Midnight_Reaper

Is there a digital download to print ones own map?

The problem with doing that is that Xeno Games is still a going concern (circling the drain, yes, but still in business) and so you would need to have their permission to sell it…
In fact, I just looked at their website (https://www.xenogames.com/xenoproducts.html) and Xeno Games themselves are selling a blown-up version of their map, 3 feet by 4 feet in two pieces according to them. They call it the Custom Map. They want US$14.95 for it (when the old Xeno Games got bought, they got moved to Canada).
Have you given that a shot?

I’m not asking to sell it nor am I looking to procure a hard copy as I already have one.
Again, I’m asking if there is a digital copy available. For the most part, I know there is one as I found an old thread on this forum with a link to mediafire. The media fire link is dead though.

Did avalon hill give express permission for us all to copy and make our own maps for global 40?
also +10 extra points if you can get to an actual ordering screen on that website.

Yeah, sorry about going on a tangent. I’d love a virtual copy of that map myself. But my searches have come up empty as well.

Yeah, you used to be able to order things, but they’ve messed something up and now you can’t. I ordered some stuff from them last year and what I ordered came in the mail, so I don’t know why it’s not working now.
Such is life.

I think I found what you seek, on the Wayback Machine (the Internet Archive’s page of old, forgotten Internet pages).
Thrasher used to have a site that was a main hub of internet information on A&A and its variants, back in the day (Thrasher himself (@thrasher1 ) is a user on this site now, but his old site is now only available on the Wayback Machine). Links follow, the last link is what you’ve been searching for, I think:
Thrasher’s A&A Expansions page
Thrasher’s World at War Maps and PBEM page (PBEM - Play By EMail, how they did it online, back in the old days)
A very large .gif of the World at War Third Edition map
I think that’s about the best you’ll find, these days. Unfortunately, World at War doesn’t hold the imagination like it used to.
-Midnight_Reaper
I salute you!
Is this World at War Fourth Edition map a mounted map?
The 2005 version of the game…
Also: anyone has a picture of the Third Edition map with the red lines?

Regarding the World at War maps:
I own the Second Edition map. This was the more standard map with black border lines.
Then came the Third Edition map with red border lines. I personally never saw this map. Did any of you?
Regarding the old files on my old site:
This page ( http://web.archive.org/web/20020527112145/http://www.wargamer.com/axisallies/ce/xeno/waw/maps/waw_maps_maps-pbem-help.html ) features two maps.
But I * THINK * that Micheal Roberts created this ‘third edition’ map in the style of the second edition map. As both of these maps look the same and are in the ‘second editon style’. So probably he adjusted the Second Edition map to create this version of the Third Edition map As it * IS * not the real third edition map as that one had red lines…
Anyone around in 1990s/2000s can help us out?

I don’t see any map, The World at War Fourth Edition or otherwise, in your post. That said, in the second post of this thread are pictures of the maps for two edition: the top map is from the Second Edition and the bottom map is from the Fourth Edition.
As far as I know, all of the Fourth Edition maps were mounted. While I haven’t heard of any that weren’t mounted, I can’t claim to know that every one made by Xeno was mounted. And indeed, the 2005 version of TWaW was the Fourth Edition, whether an upgrade pack or a whole new game was purchased.
As for a picture of the Third Edition map, BGG has your picture:

As for more TWaW goodness, fellow gamer @Gentlegamer was able to procure a wealth of TWaW file, which he shared with all of us in the thread linked below:

OK, I refered to the two maps linked to at my old page:
Micheal Roberts created two maps. Using an layout/design very close to the actual second edition World at War map.
One has the IPC values corresponding to the Second Edition of the game. And one features the IPC values of the Third Edition of the game.
So my point was: the layout/design of Micheal Roberts’ Third Edition map does not correspond with the actual (physical) Third Edition map of World at War.

Yep. I saw these. Great. Thanks, @Gentlegamer .
Does anyone have the First Edition manual and setup sheets?
And differences (if any) between the First Edition and Second Edition of World at War?
I seem to have lost my first edition map, so I’d like to thank Midnight_Reaper for posting the link to the large map.
I tweaked the colors a little bit and made the sea zone borders white land borders are still in black, I don’t know if I can share it here, let me know if I can, and I’ll post it if anyone wants it.
Here is a scan of the First edition setup cards, I don’t know if the setup varies between each edition.

@old_no7 Can someone do a entire series of Xeno games for You Tube? Europe, Pacific, and Global. Entire games using the pieces. I think a good teaching component of these rules would help and strategy. These are great games!
@imperious-leader I still have global and Pacific on scan for large format but im lazy to finish. Does somebody need a huge scan of map for these games and can do some grafix work to edit the scans?
