I’m using Adobe Photoshop CS6. The textures that I made for the neutrals are partially “from scratch” and partially “stitched together” (and color corrected) from other areas of the map.

Cheers for the effort! Looks smashing - just downloaded…
GREAT MAP Sent it out to get printed. When looking at the map I noticed that USA was a little off. I though it was the file but the boards are off also. LOL
I guess I never put the boards together that way.

Thanks again for all the kind comments.
Only 3 more weeks until HBG releases the Amerika set or is supposed to for the 3rd time this year. Its been almost 1 year since I preordered the set.

The map file version (N) had a mistake. When I expanded the English Channel I actually made a mistake with the northern seazones around Iceland. Here is the corrected version of the map.

Can you make Bessarabia a little larger? (Also, you could give Crete simply a roundel of the Greek Flag)
-
:((((((( i already sent the file to print …. is that big of a difference ??? I can’t see it  …
-
I would contact your print company ASAP. I think it is a big difference but in 80% of the games it might not ever be a problem. The issue is SZ 117 should border the season around Iceland thus making it possible to move from USA east coast to Iceland in 1 turn.

Version N (Wrong)
Version O (Corrected)

Don’t feel bad. My map is never totally done - one I had printed just last summer already has corrections and additions on it. Print out stickers and put them on the map - you’re good to go!

Thanks for the support. I know what you mean. I have a $600 metal map at home that is basically going to get redone. It seems there always needs to be changes and updates.
-
As per request. Here is version (Q). This version has an increased sized Bessarabia and I used the Greek Roundel for Crete.

If I add an area from SZ 122 to SZ 117 it should fix the problem.

If you erase the line from West side of SZ 123 and move it to the west so that it includes SZ 117. Look at my pictures

Got it

I wish I had new pieces to paint but HBG isn’t shipping Amerika or the US expansion sets for another 4-6 weeks.
Our planned annual gaming session is April 2 - 4 so it looks like I will not be able to get them all painted in time. Its been almost a year since I pre-ordered Amerika set but I really do love HBG’s quality. I just wish they were quicker at distributing them.
