Hi @siredblood - the map and all your other customizations look amazing. I’m particularly liking the color scheme on the map.
Not knowing how much difference there is between the maps: Would it be possible to make a version of the map suitable for play with the Anniversary version of the game?
Keep up the great work, man!
Greetings Generaloberst sired,
What version number is your OOB variant at?
What changes since 1.6 OOB? (I searched but could not find any thing as to ongoing changes specifically for 1.6 OOB).
@siredblood is it possible to download vector versions of these maps? Also is it $20 for all of them? If so, where do I pay? :)
We play 1942 Global, is the map correct to that?
@siredblood Sorry one more question. What is OOB? I’m thinking “original … something … board?”
Out Of Box or Original Out of Box … OOB

I bought it! And its the best god damn 20 USD I ever spend in my life! THANKS @siredblood
The PSD file with layers would be nice. If I have to pay extra its ok. Is it possible?
@SGT-Pitbull I begged him to let me pay him more for the PSD files but he resisted. I guess someone stole it and posted a high-res version online. I talked to the company and got them to take down the high res version, but I still wasn’t able to get the layered PSD files. I ended up having to do a lot of hacking on my own to get the countries split up, but I was able to tweak the map for easy tournament rules setup. Everything is color coded and shows what units set up there, etc. it would have saved me literally at least a dozen hours if I could have just grabbed the layers. Pro Tip: If you download the PDF of the official Axis and Allies rules you can open them in Illustrator (or Affinity Designer which is what I use) and select the unit pictures and circular disks for flags and such and just copy-paste them as vectors!

Thats nice makes it easy for set up! and i like the colored areas to indicate ownership
Someone asked for more closeups. The tricky things I found were regions that have troops from multiple regions. Also the cruisers and destroyers are hard to tell apart from the picture, as well as the tactical bombers. I’ve put letters next to the boats and a letter T on the tactical bombers. I haven’t done another print test with the latest though so I might need to be more explicit with the bombers.
Other Notes:
@Imperious-Leader As a note, I’m 90% sure that those people at x-RayPad.com don’t have the rights to sell that map, and you have to buy it from Sired. He’s just a guy so he can’t fight them for having stolen it, but I’m pretty sure they don’t have a deal with him to use his artwork, and he put a LOT of work into it.
I did buy it, im just intrigued by your ideas on improvement.
@Imperious-Leader cool. I just wanted to make sure anyone who saw this thread knew that link was to a stolen copy of someone’s work.
@jasonondesign is Sired still selling it? I’ve reached out to him a couple of times but haven’t heard back. It’s an impressive map, but only willing to get it with permission.
