I believe around the year 2004 I purchased two great axis and allies maps created by a gentleman by the name of Ralph Boerke from Waterloo Canada. The maps were laminated and the first one was a 1942 world map. The second one was a Europe only map. Anyways I just found both maps at my parents house. I have played the world map and loved it as Ralph included different rules for his game. The Europe only map is huge! I never played it though :(. Has anyone ever played this A&A Europe map created by Ralph? I know he was working on a pacific map also and wondered if he ever released it?

Thanks George for sharing. It looks like a cool game. :-D
Does it play similar to A&A?
How old is the game?
-
The new version is about 2 yrs old, it plays very similar to A&A you collect income for territories, purchase units, and battle. The major difference is that you move with a chit draw, aka the leaders in the game, you should go on their website and take a better look at it.

what are those strange red lines in areas of the Pacific marking borders?
-
Good eye IL, if Japanese units cross this line at any time during the game, it automatically triggers war with the allies. The allies can only initiate war starting Spring 42, its a smart way keeping Japan contain until they are ready to fight the Allies, up to that point its basically war only with the chinese. It also guides the game to a more historical path, have japan build up,then suprsise attack the US navy in W41 turn. Up to Spring 42 the allies movement is restricted by rules.
