I think there needs to be project to include a more historically accurate map. I think the rules will need to work with AAR map but, maybe have a separate section if different rules apply to the larger more advanced map.
the only change we have in mind is splitting Norway into Norway/Finland
and giving Pacific Islands values (although I am against that in realism perspective since Okinawa is only 1 IPC)
through out this time of rule making we’ve been assuming strategic level of abstraction
so I duno about larger map with more territories if thats what you mean
in terms of realistic continent lines Imperious’s map is of such
for practical reasons inter-continent scales are still left wrong (Europe is still big)
but intra-continent scales are better
continent/sea border lines are also better
I guess you could download a very good world map and software trace it
print out a huge copy
and buy multiple sets of the game and use no chips!
it’ll look cool

+++= this is correct, except is austrailia going into 2 spaces?

+++ the map cannot look to different from revised or we lose the audience.
oh yes forgot the Australia split
yeah map can’t be too different
also wanna keep colors so it matches with the game pieces but I’ve mentioned that already
Exactly!
This is still revised AA it has to feel the same.
Like I said before the rules should work with AAR board but, I think another better map could be made that also could use the rules.
yes thats why we will have two maps
yeah so Admiral if you haven’t read already they’ve been discussing some possible changes here http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=7193.0
Here is a map I have been working on just for fun. Any constructive criticism?

The compression really murders it.
I just upload to rapidshare.de etc
whatever file
don’t matter if its 10MB
what are those greyish worm looking things?
It’s so compressed. Those are rivers.
It still looks like an easy run to Moscow!
GG
I cant see anything… can i get a larger pic? I hope you added Malta The territories are mostly great, but then again its hard to tell.
@Imperious:
also we need to add Malta to the phase 3 map. It was a very strategic point.
I feel that gibrater and Malta should have more significace in the game than territories devoid of value. The loss of either would have major problems for england.
oh just add Malta and give it interdiction abilities like our Gibratar
Ok fine.
and you can put units at Malta just like Gibraltar right?
of course… but gibrater and malta need soem defense after all they are fortresses of sorts… say that in these locations you need 2 hits to kill a unit… that like double defense or you can go triple defense?
Malta is there but, the picture is so compressed you can’t tell.
after all they are fortresses of sorts… say that in these locations you need 2 hits to kill a unit
yeah we could do that
but gotta define
how many units the fortifications can hold
how many units the little piece of land can hold
which units (I say only INF) gets the 2-hit-to-kill bonus
eg.
Malta
*10 friendly land units
*3 INF takes 2 hits
