@Imperious:

The producer also said in today’s conference call that he will make available a limited number of map prints on the mat material in 6 x 4 for purchase ( about $100 total for each)

I got clarification that the OOB map is mounted 3 x 5. He also hoping for a Christmas release, but it seems too soon based on it being just 12 weeks before Xmas.

But no official announcement yet, and no pre-order thing yet.

In case it wasn’t clear before, sets of all pieces will be made available for separate purchase. So you don’t need to buy tons of copies. But i would anyway because it will sell out and prices will jack up quick.

IL posted this awhile back for map size.

[Imperious Leader]

The map in the picture is 6 x 4, production map is 5 x 3 mounted and with alot better resolution.

ok fixed…enjoy these

[Chacmool]

Wow � IL you`re killing me with these pictures!!

Ich will!

I recognized some minor errors: Rheims is a city in the Champagne, Kosovo should be far more in the South of Serbia. (Its in the north west of the tt you call macedonia), Beloruss and White Russia are the same. Better call the eastern one “Minsk” or with the actual borders on the map better “Smolensk”.

All in all this looks so much better than A&A 1914…

5 of which appear to be some sort of battle of France in 1940.
Guessing that was a mistake?

[John Brown]

Cannot wait for this game. These are awesome pictures IL. :-D

Yes we are aware, they will be moved before final map is sent. Smolensk will replace Volgograd,etc

I am stupid, what does this mean in cm ?

[CWO Marc]

I’ve just had a look at the pictures and the map and the units look great (appropriately enough for a game called the Great War).  Looking forward to its release!

We don’t use the metric system on a lot of things, here in The US, but I looked it up, and it says 30.48 cm equals 1 foot.

I hope that helps. :-)

[Chacmool]

Thanks John, so that means foot…

I always thought americans use inches when telling the mapsizes of boardgames.

But 5 x 3 would then be a pocket game  :lol:

I will be traveling to the Dardanelles and Gallipoli on sunday for one week and visit the battlefields,
it would be nice to have something interesting to read on that journey, maybe some sneak previews
from your rulebook, IL?

1 foot equals 12 inches and 12 inches equals 30.48 cm, according to the conversion to the metric system.

Does that help? :-)

[CWO Marc]

An easy rule of thumb is that 1 meter (100 cm) is about the same as 1 yard (3 feet).

A classic Simpsons joke on the subject is Grandpa Simpson’s statement that “The metric system is a tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it.”  40 rods to the hogshead apparently works out to about 10-and-a-half feet per gallon.

Thanks Marc for the help and explanation. That is a fun way to represent both systems. :-D

[zwarsky1]

Thanks for the pictures IL, this thing looks great and I can’t wait for it’s release, I will definitely be buying one plus a complete set of extra pieces if you still plan on doing that,

Thanks again for all of your hard work on this!
