Just bought this version and think its pretty good.
KGF is the best strategy in this game by far. The Soviets should pull all their eastern infantry first turn into Yakut providing a large 10 infantry stack easily defensible by adding roving defense from fighters or the odd armour.
Russia attacks WR with almost everything, leaving 5 inf in caucaus(pull back two inf from east, raise 4 infant and place at end of turn creating 9 men and 2 ftr defense)and Belorussia with two ftr and 2 inf leaving 1 behind to prevent a blitz, eliminating important fodder for germany and creating a pyhric victory for Germany because they will attack one of the two large build ups and possibly even losing if dice go bad. Russia can then cut off the force, expand and counterattack eliminating a large chunk of G armour.
The british sacrifice india and pull back to africa with their navy, securing the mediteranean and build a complex in egypt, securing englands holdings in africa and supporting the southern defense of russia through transjordan/persia, this also threatens germany’s underbelly and takes away German IPCs permanently from northern africa.
The US concentrates on a navy bridge with two parts to bridge between eastern canada and western europe. Half way through this phase, the UK can clean out Norway but not take and the US takes it on turn 3 and builds a complex in norway turn 4. By turn four you should be able to have an untouchable allied combined fleet with the UK and US being able to land 4 trans/turn on west europe. This could happen quicker depending on losses in the first turn because this plan is based on losing all allied naval pieces turn 1 except for the british battleship and transport (reinforced by russia sub)which should survive against one ftr and sub. This has worked very well for me.

I’m not an expert at converting images and I need some help. When I try to print a map (on our printer) from the pdf file, as a “patchwork” of 8 pages, it freezes…
You may need more RAM. That PDF is pretty big. Try it after a fresh restart. You could also try printing it one page at a time.

Cool. :mrgreen:

My own custom map, using IL’s file. It’s the AA42, of course. It’s 50*25 inches.
I prefer the practical aspect of a map, so it’s a 9 pieces board. It actually fits in the original AA42 box, so it’s pretty convenient (as I don’t have a lot of storage space available).
The core material is foamboard, and I had the images printed on the office laser printer.

I noticed there are threads here & there with people showing off their beautiful large maps. I’m trying to create a one stop shop for this info to help others who want to make their own large maps. For those of you who have already posted about your large maps, would you please be kind enough to post a copy of your post to this thread. http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=23549.0
Thank you.

Dear Imperious Leader,
Thank you for the map file(s)! I had the Spring 1942 version printed yesterday on vinyl banner material, 64" x 34". It looks fantastic. Your name proudly adorns yet another A&A table! You’ve made me (and my friends who play) very happy!
I plan to check out the other versions you posted as well.
Thanks again!!!

Thank you kind sir. Note that i do have both AA50 map files that look very much like OOB map and AAE40 map as well as AAE39 map all found in various threads in Variants.
I get thousands of countless pics all over the world from people who live in some of the most distant areas and i do all this for you people who demand a decent larger map.
Finally Larry has begun to producing larger maps because people like me shown their utility over the years.

Hey,
I’d like to make a print of IL’s awesome map, too.
But I want to downsize it, because the orignal size is a bit too large
for my table.I tried to downsize the pdf with Acrobat Pro, but it always tells me
that it is not possible. I don’t know why.Is there another easy way to easily downsize the pdf???
Cheers -
Use photoshop or any graphic program

Awesome map, I printed on canvas, mounted it, and built a custom table for mine - very happy. Waiting to get enough posts to be able to load images and then will put it up.
