AARHE: Map files

Flashman

Japan is white - can’t you tell white from Grey? Even your chum’s map has Italy in grey, and as I’ve said there are far too many yellow/tan/orange/red/brown colours on most maps. Me colour blind - me no like. Earth brown is too close to the UK colour which is too close to tan which is too close to the sand colour…

Why should China be Red? I though it WAS red, at least “Red” (Soviet controlled) China.

Don’t see what’s wrong with “Lybia”. At least I can SPELL it correctly.

On this scale R de O is irrelevant - a worthless strip of desert best absorbed into Mauretania.

That green does look bright, this must happen in the process of converting into a net file, so thank Elbowmaster for this, plus the rather fuzzy jpeg effect.

The lakes in dark blue was a mistake - I thought you might confuse them for sea zones since the SZs are not now named; but yes it looks terrible.

The idea of the large strip at the top was because I elongated the map to widen the oceans, and it seemed reasonable to cram this with keys etc. rather than have a thin strip of a board. This isn’t necessarilly how a productuion map would appear.

I hope you’ve told Jeff to remove those B/W photos of Yankee artillery from the middle of the Atlantic on his map. Thought not.

Still, to indulge you, I’ll try the IPCs in circles; though maybe keep the IC numbers in squares for clarity.

I also did a map with neutrals in white and Japan in vomit yellow for your benefit, surely you’ve seen it?

OK the map is marginally better… except you have some major thing with bright colors… That vomit yellow would not be bad if you picked a less bright yellow.

ON your old map you had Japan and Italy way too close in colors

Lybia does not look like any Lybia i have seen

china should be red so you can use AAP Japanese pieces form it and now they will match…plus soon its red china anyway so why not help it along?

The Soviets need to be the same color as Milton Bradley Soviet pieces… because thats the bast color for them. That revised burgundy is crap.

British Kaiki is hardly as strong a color or similar to Milton Bradley Soviets.

You should dump the squares with that anchor and put the ports inside on the territory. make the anchor white and the box the same color as the territory so we dont have to see those lame boxes and slit our throats

tekkyy

So um, do you wanna update the first post to include the links at

@tekkyy:

I am about to print out the map again.
The Spanish translation of your map prompted me to do some tweaks to the icons.
I also added in icons for neutral army so you don’t have to look up the table.

Actually all 4 versions (standard/italy, plain/setup) of the map still has Sahara as “Impassable” rather than “Desert” lol.

And to be easier for my print outs I might even put “Strait Interdiction” and terrain bonuses on the map too.

Maybe we should have a list of known issues haha.

Imperious Leader

naw … no more changes… that is done. :lol:

tekkyy

on my ISP webspace so won’t be inactive deleted
fixed a few typos here and there (eg. UK player aid battleship was still 24 IPC, just picked it up in a game)

Updated “standard” map:
Honululu, Tobruk and Dakar VC added.
Hong Kong VC replaced Shanghai.
Astrakhan VC replaced Almaty.
Gibraltar, Argentina, Peru, New Zealand, China now mountainous.

(AARHE’s “standard” map is a map that keeps revised’s IPC and unit setup. The only border change is that Baltic Sea can no longer access Western Europe. Information are added to help new players.)
