And on a related point: if you look at an online map of the world and place a rectangular sheet of paper on it so that one of its long edges lies on the equator (alternately covering, for purposes of comparison, the bottom half and the top half), you’ll notice that most of the world’s land masses are in the northern hemisphere. All of North America, all of Europe, virtually all of Asia, and much of Africa are located there. The main land masses in the southern hemisphere are South America, the lower part of Africa, Australia, and Antarctica; the rest of the southern hemisphere is mainly water, which means that for A&A map purposes it’s mostly wasted space. Oceania, a.k.a. the Pacific Islands, including Australia and New Zealand, did see significant action in WWII, so its inclusion on an A&A map is quite relavant…but by the same token Antarctica is a land mass that’s traditionally (and with good reason) omitted from A&A maps.
My new hand painted A&A revised map
-
Hi,
I want to share my self painted map for A&A revised. It is painted on a wooden board of 122cm by 70cm. I hand painted the map using an airbrush. The roundels are made of stickers that I found on the internet. Also the letters are stickers and stamps.
I hope you like it!
I made a video of it on my little channel that I have going on Axis and Allies.My youtube channel: https://youtu.be/23tuz1c9QN8
Thank you very much!

Very Very nice job !
Welcome GiddyXray.

Welcome GiddyXray. I really like the board. Very nive job. I have had painted a map for the Global 40 game on a 4’x8’ sheet of masonite. I t works well but it is rather dark. I like your lighter colors, especially for the sea zones. I am working on a table to go with it so I may repaint the map and lable it again as well. Your work is very nice.
-
Thanks!
I selected the colors especially to make the board light an fresh looking. I noticed that a lot of the A&A boards are dark, which make some units hard to see.
I’m very happy with the result! I hope to make some strategy videos using this map. -
Don’t know that I have seen a fully hand-painted board before. Looks great.

Nice work - Dare I ask how many hours you put into it? For interest’s sake.
