@surfer thanks for that clarification
Azores islands - strategic in WWII are missing
-
So where would you advocate placing the Azores on the current AAG40 map? Im thinking perhaps SZ103?
While we’re on the subject of missing islands, adding Diego Garcia into SZ75 could also make things interesting, particularly considering the new minor IC in South Africa. Having a naval base there could theoretically open a lifeline between Africa and Australia - and would almost certainly open up an area of the board that sees little to no action in most games (Central and Southern Indian Ocean).
Also - having a Diego Garcia with a naval base in SZ75 would also complete the naval base chain from South Africa to Malaya allowing the UK/ANZAC two turns to shuttle forces from one end to the other - instead of 3. And if India falls, it gives the UK/ANZAC players a platform for retaking that doesnt rely solely on a slow slog land based recapture.

My last map (linked below) has many small island groups for this purpose, and for my ship re-fueling rules. Diego Garcia is included as part of the Chagos group.
I really should have included Svalbard, however.

The link you gave, if you read the part that says history, starts in 1946.
Excuse me? Anyone can read that the History section starts in 1928 and then has a part describing WW2, at least on the English version of Wikipedia.

And the correct spelling is Lajes, not Lages like you keep mentioning the whole time. :)
My objectiv with this topic was that azores and lages are in future maps of AA games and was fast achieved with one of the main developers saying that Azores would be included.
As far as I know, Imperious Leader is not a game developer, just one of the biggest fans of the game :)

Yeah, IL makes his own house rules and modified versions of the A&A games in addition to map replicas, so his mentioning adding it and adding IPC value to Sicily was for one of his modified maps for house rules games.

Hobbes the portuguese are so clever aren´t they?
Building something together is so out of the question?
Who cares the name of the base? Bases are not named till today in aa.
THE IMPORTANT ISSUE is to include Azores other Açores on the map due to its strategic location during wwii. Half way from USA and Europe.
LOL
-
And SAS is a very important game developer cause the most popular house rules in the past are now part of the game.
LOL

I included Azores as my contribution to my map files since my remake/remodel of AA50 map. Also, included was notation to Sicily, Corsica, Ceylon, and Sardinia as well as Malta. The inclusion of Formosa and and some of these pacific Islands in AA products is much lower on the list of viable areas to represent, while many of the ones i include were very important and were left out.
MY revised Global 40/39 map will include the Azores.
-
And please imperious leader make the map wider so that Atlantic can have one more vertical row of sea zones.
The problem with maps is that they are not spheric like the real world and as a consequence if we analize a globe sea is about 66% of the whole surface of Earth and in a scale world map is a little more than 50%.

Then Azores would be out of reach from potential Nazi long range bomber SBR against New York.
Thats the only reason why i like it because of this potential, whereas usually USA never gets bombed and Azores are kinda close to German areas so they can possible protect it.

Since your sea zones are the same as anniversary, what sea zone would Azores be in on the AA50 map?

They are the same in G39. When i do G40 remake, i will keep it stock so the sea zone with Azores will be 3 spaces away from US east coast like i got it in AA50 remake.

No, I’m asking for the Anniversary sea zone number.

Imperious leader your aa50 map is fantastic.
The aa40 map should have usa aligned around the map, the pacific and atlantic should be wider with one more vertical row of sea zones, including azores and the two rows of sea zones in mediterrain.
