Sired's Map project - Updated- 4/16 - files available see first post

Finally got around to taping it together. Obviously I still need to paint terrain, but needed to make sure the new size worked well, which I think it does. I setup the units the same on both sides, same as in the same location in a country as well. There was no need for a full setup to see its way better in proportion.

I printed a few in color, just for fun.

Also with a full print, I can now sit with the game board and really look for errors in borders and such, will be way easier the looking on a screen, also I can just draw all over this where needed for notes.

Also, it looks like 2 images, but the paper map is actually over the OOB map, side by side. So to compare is “real time” I guess you can say.

Thanks for the comments!

I think Africa looks great, im painting that now!

I admit my lines suck, I just drew them fast, over laping, etc. didn’t matter. What look good on screen needs to be tested live, which is what this was for, do the units fit better, or not, where more improvements can be made… im happy with the fitments, I do have a few adjustment I would like to make, then I can finalize the lines.

As I start painting, I spend more time on the actual lines of the continent, no worries :)

As for the fonts, ill have to look, the number font and name font are different, and they are both licensed fonts, so will cost 25 bucks or so.

@Imperious:

Franklin Gothic Heavy is the font for Axis and Allies

That’s for sure not what I use, not saying that’s not it, im using ……B---- something T, ill look. If gothic works, then cool, its free.

Barbedor is the font.

Im going in tomorrow for my second print test.

Thanks for the comments guys, I had a game planned today, but we canceled it, SOO that means its map painting time the entire weekend! Ive remasted the files so they are workable with no freezing.

@Imperious Leader, I think youll be proud of new coastlines! Pics tomorrow.

Correct its not Heavy (or at least I don’t use that), its T, in addition you have to add the FX of stroke +3 and alter the layout from 100 to 105 H and 100 to 110 W…. did I win?

That’s what I do anyway :P

I never corrected it wasn’t Heavy as I never tried it, maybe it worked better, I already had T set up.

Sorry I.L. I didn’t get to pics as I mentioned, I had some family issues over the weekend :(

Oh, and naturally youll have to adjust as necessary depending on the size of your project, if you blow up the file, naturally those specs will not work.

Coastlines are done, all islands are accurate now, was crazy how much the OOB art was wrong… islands not even in the right shape… the one they did do right, was pointing the wrong way lol. Im pretty excited about this map, I hope to be done in a couple weeks, hard part is over.

in addition to the Europe/Africa resize, the islands were slightly enlarged…  larger sea zones here and there… lots of stuff :)
