I’ve created a separate thread for my work on the OOB 1914 map. Please go here to discuss it in more detail.
Images of the Map?

Slight revision of the map, I’ve put the Finland border where it should be after noticing a line I hadn’t seen before.
What I can’t see is the SZs in the north; is it possible that (ref my map) SZs 6 & 11 are one, and that SZ 11 actually lies between 10 & 12? Seems rational, but damned if I can see.
It would make a profound difference to the Allies if a transport could sail from London to Archangel in one move.
Note that Finland didn’t have an arctic coastline, in fact I don’t think it ever did.
-
Looks like the north is more like this:
Still not quite sure about the borders of Kiel-Berlin-SZ 11, though.
Thanks to DJensen for help with this.
-
Oh, nice. So Petrograd is actually in Karelia.
-
Seems so. It’s possible the Kiel-Berlin border may run down the middle of Schleswig-Holstein, but that would mean that Kiel isn’t in Kiel…
Seems strange that there are no ships in SZ 11, I assume there’s a German NB adjacent. Possibly Kiel services both SZs via the canal.
-
This is a possible solution to the contradictory information about the Kiel area:
-
The is the solution from the Diplomacy map, quite possible given the heavy influence of that game.
Denmark is considered a joint land/sea area, Ships can pass from SZ 10 to 11 via the canal.

Flash Im pretty sure the IPC value of Constantinople is 6.

Question? What is with the pic of LH in Mexico?
Thanks for your maps, they have all been great. I bet your map will be better than the actual map. Will you continue to update it as we get more info and all the IPC values?
-
I want this map to be as close as possible to the production map, so Mexico had to go.
What better to replace it with?
Another note: Finland should not have an Arctic coastline (not until 1920):

Flashman, can you make out more of the map from the ‘6 second box opening’?

I don’t think anyone can with the speed of that video. I tried to pause it but couldn’t figure out how. I swear, that thing’ll give someone a seizure.
-
just click on the picture and it pauses
-
-
Ohh, RIGHT click.
Thanks, guys. I was only left-clicking.
-
Right click doesn’t work for me (proud Opera user), so i print-screened a couple times into paintbrush.
I’ll say, those transport ships and biplanes look AMAZING. The cruiser and dreadnought, not so much. The tanks are eehh… very blocky.
-
The transports look like freaking ocean liners. Terrible
-
Some WW1 transports had been converted from commercial ships, but I agree that a more military look would have been better.
-
New Italy, looks rather silly.
All to block an impossible Austrian AA on Rome…
Can’t pause the video; if anyone can make out a list of IPC values I’ll update.

For my own version, I’ve decided that the only way to represent the political situation of Greece is to divide it into two tts.
After all Macedonia was only part of Greece for a year, and clearly had completely different sympathies:

I need to find out what Crete was doing in the war, can’t find anything yet.
Edit: seems Crete was part of the “Macedonian” pro-Allied state:

Which leaves me with: (map2)
Question is, if the Allies move into Macedonia, does pro-German Greece automatically mobilize against them?
