I haven’t used that map, but I’d recommend scaling your pieces up by about 10-20% to keep things proportional. Test fit as you go to make sure it works.

Spinal Tap suddenly comes to mind along with the number 11. :-D
I figure since his bloodbath, he has seen areas to tweak/enlarge/clarify on the map.
I know from experience, coming back to a project after a break, you see things that were missed before.
OR
he just likes to tinker with something which he enjoys… 8-)

Both… tinker and tweak!
I always wanted to add 100 more cities or so for a map touch! But also there are still OOB stuff not correct or at least misleading. Not in a gameplay aspect, but historical… and yup, some border tweets… china territories will have the Chinese symbols under name, japan will be 2 SZ as it currently contradicts the rule book… there is more, but it’s a surprise!.. it’s gonna be love trust me ;)

@siredblood Any status update for the custom maps?
-
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

@jasonondesign Out Of Box

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!
