Disappointed with AA 1942? Perfect!

[Veqryn]

whats with the complaints about AA1942?  Its just supposed to be an update of Revised, with the updated rules from AA50 plus cruisers.

is it just me or does the shape of the map, the shape of the countries, borders, etc. not look right? i can’t tell you what is wrong, but it just doesn’t look right, like the shape of the continents or something.

various styles of distortions exist for practicality

the territories and sea zones look awkward on a real map

I once drew the revised map over a real map
unfortunately such maps may only be practical for game boards larger than A0

Nice map
I’d rather have funny looking sea zones than funny looking continents.

Wow, that is a very cool looking map. I wish they would mass-market that one.

As far as the distorted looking AA42 map: nearest I can, tell it looks funny because they tried to maximize the space in each territory. So some of them look really fat and distorted in order to allow the maximum amount of space to place units. Not necessarily a bad thing… if you can live with the change in aesthetics of course.

I would also have to agree on that one.  I would rather have space for more units as well.
