I just wanted to say that I printed out a very large map size at 2440mm x 1118mm ( roughly 8 foot x 4 foot) on a digital printed transparency with a matt laminate and it has turned out fantastic. The quality was amazing. I searched everywhere to see if it could upscale and could not find the answers. Hopefully this will help someone who is thinking of doing the same.
I have built a custom table with magnets sunken into the table to hold the map in place. I wanted to use the table to play other games so the map had to roll up.
I also wanted to use the table for Global War 1936 and the magnets work well
[AA50/Anniversary] Modular Map Overlays - Splitting Australia, the Balkans, and Sea Zones; adding Cairo, Malaya, Singapore, Rio, Cape Town, Recruitment Centers and tons more!

Malta, Azores, and Maldives :)
I set Maldives at the intersection of SZ 31, 32, and 35 to make them as interesting as possible. 1 IPC because I would imagine removing Ceylon as redundant.
-
@vodot Excellent!!! Azores should be within flight range of Eastern Seaboard for a Bomber. This gives a reason for axis to capture so they can SBR New York
-
@Imperious-Leader yep, smack in the middle of SZ 11 would be 3 spaces from EUS, Brazil, and ECAN. More than just SBR, it’s a good central point of threat for the Axis… on my map, transports here could drop troops at 5 different victory cities (Rio, D.C., Ottowa, London, Paris). I also make Neutrals less risky to capture with my G40 Lite rules.
Ships at SZ 32 off the Maldives, for that matter, can reach 4 VCs (Cairo, Cape Town, Calcutta, Singapore). Similar to the US getting a big force at the Carolines in a traditional AA50 game— nightmare for Japan; or either the US or Japan unconstested at Midway with some of my changes to the Pacific Coast/Hokkaido/Aleutians.

@vodot I made a fully custom map using the changes I used from this thread. I made it using Inkarnate/Gimp.
UPDATE 11/22/25 added VC and some shadows to make text more readable.

@Titus wow! looks awesome! what was your process? FYI the “full download” link appears to be for your “normal-style” map, not this new version.
-
@vodot Fixed, thank you! I used the web app inkarnate which is a D&D map maker tool which is incredibly useful for that purpose and others. I can import “stamps” so I imported the aa50 map to trace the landmasses and borders. The tool has lots of built in map making features so I didn’t have to do much for that just selecting settings/painting. I exported the finished map and added the text and roundels in gimp. Inkarnate is sweet for map making and I used it to make the Battle Deck cards as well.
Just realized I totally forgot capitals LOL.

@Titus Awesome, I’m always looking for new tools and shortcuts.
