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

Guys that is all I have for now, until I paint some German ground forces. Sometime in early 2017, Spitfire will have the Europe and Pacific US forces for my map. Until then, enjoy these pics. Thanks for looking.

Actually both of your transports are OOB versions. The bigger transport comes from the 1941 Axis and Allies game, and the other is from the 1940 Pacific game. Both are very attainable. You can buy them from HBG, if they have it in stock. :-)

That’s the dream right there. Looks awesome.

Ya, those are the 1941 OOB Transports… they come in both Japanese Orange and German Black (both from 1941)… and yes, you can get them from HBG, but they are the 1941 OOB transports.
I was using the 1941 transports for both Germany and Japan (I hated the 1940/1942 OOB German transports), but I recently swapped out my German transports for the new German transports that HBG recently released.

Those new German transports are the bomb! :-D

Guys, I decided to set up Oztea’s Global 1941 Setup om my metal map, because it show cases more of the British and America pieces. I only set up the Pacific portion naturally because, I don’t have the complete Europe side of the map done yet, because it is a few years away from being done.
I will take pictures of the Europe US and Pacific pieces, within a couple weeks, so be on the lookout for that.
I hope you enjoy these pictures. :-)
