Anyone who knows if it was intended that Sired blood changed the IPC of Celebes from 3 to 4 on his OOB map?
Global 1940 Faction Setup Sheets

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

@throgmorton Fantastic! I just made the background images with AI, which is why some of the faces are a bit wonky. I could have a go at making some new ones.
What do we need? France and Anzac?

That’s part of why I wasn’t too worried about covering up the background images, because there were some pretty obvious imperfections in them which were covered up by the boxes, but the overall composition of the image still looked good. But I might be able to make some better ones
-
@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.
-
@throgmorton try these: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/sm36vn9xsy5dp/Setup_Sheets_new_images
I’ve done the minor factions. I’ve also redone the british one, partly cause in the image there are British and Chinese forces combined, and also because the guys face in the foreground was annoying me.
I’ve labelled the ones I think are the best for each faction, but there are also some backups in there in case you like them better. Happy to revisit.
-
@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).
-
@throgmorton looks great. I think it might well be quicker to set up that way. Definitely more noob friendly with the pictures.
-
Can use this one if you like. I’ve managed to kinda remake it without the weird faces.
-
-
@throgmorton They look great.
-
@throgmorton Fantastic! Thank you
Two typos I saw:
Pesia instead of Persia
Terriotry instead of Territory
-
@yoda Thanks!
Let me know if you see any others (I did notice one in ANZAC and so corrected it)
Here are the updated sheets…
-
@throgmorton Thank you! A couple more things we noticed during game play:
Italy has 6x Destroyer in caption when 2 are listed in the detail section:
Soviet Union has 1x Submarine where 2 are listed in detail section:
Also for another wish, I print these oh so very useful sheets out on my black and white printer, but the backgrounds are a little dark for the small font. Any way you could do a light background version?
Again thanks for doing these! Makes setup much easier!
-
@yoda Thanks I’ll make corrections.
As for background opacity, is it just the darker faction sheets you have problems with? Like UK is a light tan and if I reduce the opacity too much then the background might bleed too much and make the writing harder to read. So its possible I could adjust certain sheets to possibly lighten them a little more.
