AARHE: Map files

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.

VICTORY CITY CHART doesn’t have marker spots on it for:

- Hongkong
  - Astrakhan

Is this intentional?

I printed out and was constructing a new map and I notice the VC’s with 0 value in them (e.g., Dakar, Tobruk, Honolulu).

Is their purpose just to represent 1 free ID?

You can’t build infantry there, and you can’t use them for victory conditions so I thought I’d ask.

• Bierwagen

Astrakhan replaces the older VC at Kazakh, it was Almaty I think

Hongkong replaces Shanghai (this came about from the 1939 map…Shanghai fell already in 1939)

but Hong Kong is not as resourceful as Shanghai and the battle of Hong Kong was relatively minor compared to battle of Shanghai

so on my todo list I actually want to put it back to Shanghai for the standard 1942 map

another thing is that the national player aids do not show the newer simpler combat sequence

yeah thats right you can’t deploy infantry at 0-value VCs
but besides the implicit ID unit, you also get to repair your damaged battleship/cruiser there

Ah yes, the repairing of BB, CA, and CVs at the 0 point VC – good call thanks.  I keep forgetting about that requirement.  Lots of new if/then clauses to remember.

Thanks on the SS clarification.  We’re a little slow down here where the information superhighway meets the gravel road.  So, the interpretation that was being promoted was 1 more SS than any AWS capability (e.g., 1 sub vs. a fleet with no Cruiser or Destroyer gets the +1 bonus).  This seemed a bit over powered.  So, I was looking to tighten it up so there wasn’t any wiggle room for argument.

I hate submarines now!  But, that is how it should be.

Thanks for the insight on the name changes – Since I already printed it out as a magnet chart, I’ll just stencil it in.  Thought I was missing something critical when I couldn’t make the VCP chart mesh up with the board.
