@Playing-Kid said in Ottomans in 1940:

I really like anything that changes the map, (for example: I really like Global War 1936’s Fascist Croatia Expansion) so I thought that it would be fun if I just slowly over time made a bunch of just random countries, real, fake, right time, wrong time, to just add in.

This is my first one and I think that the section turned out good so I think I shall make more.

Well then, all right. It certainly looks interesting on the map, there in white.

I have been thinking about adding oil resource locations and railway lines

From our mod
USA 182.657mt* (1 Western United States, 2 Central United States, 3 Eastern United States) USSR 29.700mt (4 Caucasus, 5 Soviet Far East) Venezuela 27.443mt (6 Venezuela) Iran 10.426mt (7 Persia, 8 Northwest Persia)
Dutch East Indies 7.939mt (9 Sumatra, 10 Java, 11 Celebes, 12 Dutch New Guinea) México 6.721 mt (13 Southeast Mexico) Romania 5.764mt (14 Romania) Colombia 3.636mt (15 Colombia) Iraq 3.438mt (16 Iraq) Argentina 2.871mt (17 Argentina) Trinidad 2.844mt (18 West Indias) Perú 1.776mt (19 Perú) Arabian Peninsula 1.652mt (20 Saudi Arabia) Burma 1.088mt (21 Burma) Canadá 1.082mt (22 Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba) Borneo 0.932mt (23 Borneo) Egypt 0.929mt (24 Alexandria) China 0.050mt (25 Yunnan*)
*All Valor’s are in Millions of Metric tons, for the production of the year 1940, and not contemplate synthetic oil production.
*We considered only locations with production over 0.900mt, for total production of 1940, but allowed Yunnan for valance.

I love it!  I especially love the plexiglass over the board!

Thanks LHoffman,

Your appreciation is my inspiration… because I refuse to use a sheet of glass, my research has lead me to a material called styrene (google it) which is a type of plastic sheet that can be directly printed on. All indications point to this method being the last alternative to glass and although it cost around $240, it looks to be my best option. Even after flushing $300 so far in a crappy print, and installation complications, I’m happy with this new direction if it turns out the way I’ve been told it will. Basically it’s flexible plastic, so it should lie flat without air pockets getting trapped, and because it doesn’t get laminated, the colors should be slightly brighter. If it is sensitive to scratching than there is a clear film sheet by 3M I can look into, that’s where I’m at right now.

Thanks
