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

@buddytoliver Yeah but he’s got a busy day-job, so sometimes it takes him a few days or even a week to get back in touch.

Can anyone give me a rough idea of how much this would cost to print?

For me 3’ x 6’ on vinyl 75.00. 3mm styrene 95.00
Probably more by you.

@trent15 I just printed them on banners for like $45 each. I went through a few iterations with the color coding and the initial placement layouts and such. It’s not as nice, but it’s cheep and super awesome to play on.

@jasonondesign Good idea, thanks for info. I appreciate it. I love the map but trying to decide if the cost to print will be worth it. Do you roll it up when in storage?

@trent15 yeah. It fits under my couch in a big tube. I got it from bannersonthecheep.com I just looked it up and there was a promotion so it cost $29 for a 3ftx8ft banner

Hi All,

I have quickly (and I mean quickly) glanced at all of the replies on this topic. About 9+ months ago I posted (on youtube) some work that I spent well over 1.5+ years researching and documenting WWII information and placing it on Siredbloods awesome map. My version includes details such as; where approx 750+ warships were sunk, 5000+ ships sunk by submarines, casualty counts for battles fought and their locations, where massacres took place, concentration and extermination camps, and many more items related to the history of WWII. I have recently posted my 3rd version of it a few months back to which I am very happy to share with the community under really ONE condition. You must first send Siredblood $20 USD for his hard work (siredblood AT yahoo DOT com). This will get you access to all his map versions. Once I have confirmation (email address below), which is typically a screenshot of your Paypal confirmation to him, I will add you to MY google drive for access. I get nothing out of this but the satisfaction that others will be experiencing a very interesting way to play this awesome game. Check out my latest version of the map on my youtube channel here >> https://youtu.be/_vbnqmpRdB4. If you look on my channel you will get a much deeper dive in the earlier versions of the map where I discuss in more depth what I did.

The map you will see in the videos above was printed at about 85" x 39" on scrim vinyl. At this size, the cost has been around $120-$160 depending on the person calculating the size. Others have printed it at smaller sizes with complete success to include OOB size of 70" x 32". OOB size would be around $80-$90.

Let me know if you have any questions.

@jasonondesign … I really like the subtle adds you have done to this map. great job

Where is the version that uses color to indicate the various factions? It like disappeared

The colored factions is one I made based on Sired’s map. If you send me proof that you purchased the original from Sired (Paypal receipt is good) I’ll send you my doctored Map.

Hey guys… I just made available the OOB version of the G40 map in the BBR theme with all of my WWII details. So if you have purchased Siredblood’s map and want the OOB G40 version but still want the BBR look and feel of the map, just send me proof that you purchased his map and I will add you to my GDrive.

@jasonondesign were you able to load the map onto the site? My file for the map is way too large.

@Johnson73 Mine is also huge. I didn’t try to load it on the site. I’m only going to share it with people who have shown me a receipt showing they paid the original artist (Siredblood). If you’ve bought it DM me your receipt and I’ll give you access to a google drive folder that you can download it from. Happy to share. Just want to make sure SiredBlood get’s paid first… :)

I already have Siredbloods Map File. I meant did you load it up onto Bannersonthecheap.com’s site when you ordered your map. Their site only allows a max of 20mb to be uploaded onto their Banner Generator.

@Johnson73 oh sorry. Yeah I had to scale it back, but Banners on the Cheap isn’t super high resolution. I think I just scaled back the JPG until it fit under their limit if I remember correctly.

Hello all,

I have completed my BBR map with all of the WWII details on it to now be compliant to all the changes for the BBR 3.0 rule set. If interested, you can check it out here:
