Global 1940 Faction Setup Sheets

@Simnos they look great. Doesn’t France go last though?

@Simnos probably not. They look great and I’d love to print these up for new players to use.

@Simnos

Thanks, I used your sheets as a template to tweak around with and I build a new template for some player sheets I wanted to create. Having all those boxes was a little hard on the eyes so I went with a little cleaner version, and to allow that nice background art punch through a little more.

I made it for an 8.5x11 sheet and you should be able to place the faction roundels on the board at the designated locations to help easier track National Objectives and State of War (although the latter is usually easy to keep track of).

Anyways here is a sample of what I did with the Germany sheet you posted.

@Simnos happy to share, I still consider them WIP but please let me know if you see any errors or if I omitted something that maybe useful. Right now a lot of the text is verbatim from the rule book so I do want to try and streamline it. I also couldn’t figure out where you sourced your background images from but ideally I would like to have a unique one for each (right now they recycle some of the others). So if you have any similar that could be used for the minor powers let me know.

Anyways here is how they look so far…

@throgmorton

Look Way Sweet !

@Black_Elk has a buncha images he’d probablly turn you on to. There in triplea in his UHD map. Can’t do zip files here, so Idk how to post them, other than individually.
get mget
I doubt he’d mind. Idk. He’ll let us know :)

Edit
yea go to triplea and DL UHD Global.
Open it up until you get to flags folder

or

Chat me and I can send it to your email

@barnee thanks I’ll have a look but I thought tripleA was more for maps and units and stuff, not wallpaper art that is being used for the backdrop of the faction sheets.

@throgmorton

ahh I misunderstood. I thought you were looking for different roundels/flags :)

@Simnos here is basically the final barring any typos or errors.

@Simnos yeah that would be great. So it basically the minor powers China, France, ANZAC. Although since your sheets had US & ANZAC together the background for that one seems to have both flags. So I could use it for either I guess.

@Simnos @throgmorton these are looking incredible, guys, can’t wait to see the finals

@Simnos Thanks I downloaded them.

Lol, I actually liked the original British one you had with the close up of the spitfire flying low (didn’t really notice the guys face though). But once you mentioned AI, I took a closer look at the pictures and did notice some weird artifacts, especially some of the small planes in the sky but those were easy enough to take out.

Anyways I have updated them with the new art, and will definitely repost them so you guys can use them as you like.

I’m still trying to see if there is a better way to present the Combat Forces (it’s the only hard box I have left).

@vodot Thanks its definitely a process…

I was actually looking back at some of my first drafts originally for instance here was Japan (don’t have file anymore but scanned from a printout).

I had lots of boxes to contain the information, and realized things like margins on the outside edge were to small and the spaces for the roundels to sit on the sheet were too small, some of the font sizes were definitely on the small size.

So I corrected and it looked more like this (Germany scanned from printout)

But finally I switch from portrait to landscape and dropped almost all the boxes to bring out the background art and not have it contained to that small political situation box.

I think its a little cleaner now without the box, also allowed me to use slightly larger fonts, and honestly might be more efficient at setup if its grouped by unit type as opposed to territory (or at least that’s what I tell myself).
