Interesting to see how the German/Axis deployment in the southern sector looks sparse, at first glance. Maybe key to why Army Group South struggled more than the other two did in the early stages? That and the Soviet commander of the Southwest Front (Kirponos) being more competent than the other four?
IL's New Global 1940 map file…

@Imperious:
If this works i will upload the Pacific side.
It worked and it rocks! Pacific side please!
-
One suggestion I have is remove the mobilization zone. Reasoning is:
- The map is so big only one player would actually be able to put his purchased units on it.
- This way any future unit/price changes or house rules will not make the map obsolete
Perhaps you could make the mobilization zone available to print on cardstock separately.
I like how you marked the map edge seazones! I will check it over with my new Global 40 SE maps after getting pacific side.

Point #2 is good. I might just do it.

Ok yes

ok i will post pacific on that site.
-
OK using the same link you got Pacific 1940. Enjoy.
-
Got it - thank you for the hard work!

Hey IL - I checked your maps over with my new 1940 2nd ed maps this morning. Here’s what I found:
- The AA gun in mobilization zones is now 5 IPCs and listed as AAA.
- British Columbia and Yukon territories are now one zone called “Western Canada”
- Guides are needed on the Pacific side of the map for what sea zones you enter when leaving that side
- Sea line touching Malaya goes into Malaya a bit
- Sweden takes up a lot of room for a neutral. Could give some of that space to Norway
That’s all I saw. Good move leaving the ipc chart off the top edge! i have a separate magnetic one anyway.
Also - will you be able to combine both sides into one large file?
-
OK i will fix these. I can do something with Sweden, but my intention was to make it look realistic.
For whatever reason i cant save them together ( it says not enough memory available) though i got 16 GB of ram and 6 core processor.
I will try again.
-
-
umm….this was just the pacific side and it looks the same?
-
I fixed the lines by Malaya and created Western Canada. Also set the cost for AA at 5 IPC on chart.
-
OH I get it - the link tool me back to your old file - I had to click on the new file on the right - duh.
Looks great! Try to add the guides on the East edge pacific seazones for where the ships come out when leaving that side of the map when you gat a chance.
Now I just have to build a bigger game room. :-o
-
The guides are on the Europe map.
-
My table is only 4 x 6…can I print this smaller and still have it be legible/proportional and all that? I assume the print is larger? Thanks for any advice! This will be the centerpiece of my gameroom!!
-
I jumped through the hoops and downloaded these. These are fan-freakin-tastic! Wow. I gotta get these printed…
Thanks to IL for this. I now have to decide if I must shrink these for to fit my table/plexiglass (4’ X 6’) or just find a new way to display it…decisions, decisions…plus, I gotta find a sign company to do this bad boy justice…

The corrected file for E40 is here ( look at date for latest file)
Corrected: 5 cost for AAA gun, two small islands off Turkey were UK color
-
IL - awesome map. Preparing to print, quick question. When I opened in Photoshop the sea color is a much darker blue in the Pacific than the Europe map. Do I have the right files? I’ll be working to match them up unless I am doing something wrong. Thanks!
-
Wait to print that. I do have another file where that is corrected. Note that the pacific sea lines are different look, but close enough.
I will repost the new links soon.
-
Great! Looking forward to it.
-
Hey IL - did you ever make those sea zone corrections? Thanks!
-
IL do you have versions of this with more territories?
Ive got an 8x4 in my basement that I am looking for a map to put on it and I like your style and the 1940 proportions, but I would like more territories.Almost a global game in the scope of the 1914 map, or in a manner of speaking a France with 6 territories rather than 3.
Do you catch my drift?
