AARHE: Map files

I found a solution to the certain symbols (like IPC icons) in our illustrator file disappearing in PDF and photoshop.

You can “fix” the symbols.
The VCP icons works. But the IPC icons don’t.
One difference. The IPC icons have text.

Break link to the symbols.

I’ll post 300dpi files shortly.
And we can now use adobe reader to view the .ai files. After those changes.

60"x36" 300dpi

fixed: Switzerland missing IPC icon

white screen?
its probably the white border
remember its 300dpi so if your browser is not set to auto zoom out…hehe

oh and browers don’t tend to load TIFF

regardless, you can do right click and go Save-As

by the way I just realise Spain’s mountainous terrain was left out hehe

further small fixes

fixed: added missing Spain mountainous
fixed: added missing Turkey destroyer
change: increased battleship icon size so its easier to tell part from destroyer

(remember you need to right click and go Save Target As…)

2008-01-27 special edition PDF
special edition: AARHE on real world map
http://www.mediafire.com/?ajxgtrxurlj

only practical for very large prints
you need 1.8m to get Europe the same size at original game board

OOB = out of box
SE = this special edition

OOB
gameboard 51cm x 84cm
play area 46cm x 78cm
Norway to Southern Europe 21cm
Western Europe to West Russia 23cm

SE
play area 84cm x 178cm
Norway to Southern Europe 24cm
Norway to Southern Europe 23cm

I was thinking they won’t fit.
They’ll come in at a later stage when I decide on size problems for the special edition.

If we go through with the make-pretty update to normal AARHE maps those’ll have territory and VC text.

updated with latest AARHE terrains

which map? if are you talking about the 1939 map my should talk about it in the 1939 thread
my intention was to separate them since AARHE sort of more house rule and AARHE 1939 is sort of more variant

yeah I’ll do the standard map
the 1942 Italy map I plan to remake later

yes you deal with the 1939 map
(remember to use the new layered file)

ok I’ve added the new VC icons to the standard map

I came across this web site http://www.history-on-cdrom.com/  It has a lot of useful information.  There are a lot of silhouettes and drawing that can be used for maps and charts.  Unfortunately, they’re not free.  However, it’s still worth a look.
