First time I did a custom map that’s exactly what I did, buy a world map and territory borders. You could try to find an loder copy of photoshop like ps 6 or 7 for much less than the current gen.
AARHE: Map files
-
Does anyone have a copy of the standard map file (or historical for that matter) without the country names, national markers, or VC/IPC numbers on it. I’m basically looking for a map with just the countries outlined. if anyone could be of assistance I would appreciate it. It can be in PDF or Illustrator format.
-
Sorry just use the AARHE map. Use GIMP to edit.
-
It can be in PDF or Illustrator format.
hi
I can give you the .ai file
all the icons are in separate layers
so in illustrator you can toggle on/off for all everything
in 15 seconds you can tick on/off the IPC icons, VC icons, setup icons, etc independentlyby the way what are your plans?
making a new map? customized gameplay? -
I want to use it for customized gameplay. Illustrator format would be excellent. Just send the file to my email address.
-
stuanderson, I’ll try to send you the file soon
-
hi stuanderson
you get can the blank here http://home.exetel.com.au/cometo/aarhe/maps/20080321_AARHE_blank.ai -
Thanks. Just got to learn how to use Illustrator to it’s full potential… j/k.
-
Do you really did it,after carefully trimming and taping them all together the map was glued to a nice 1/16" pressboard surface on a 1" x 2 " frame for stability.?
-
and so where is the picture of game in progress?
mediafire.com will handle it.
-
I printed out your map Imperious Leader at 36" x 72" as one piece with a 5 mil laminate on both sides.
Very nice! Thanks! -
ah good. now play a sample game and don’t use the optional rules until you got the normal stuff down pat.
I assume your talking 1939 AARHE?
-
No, I started with the AARHE42.
I need it in a 1939 version but will probably buy the 2 new ones coming out instead. -
oh ok. Then the rules are easier…
-
We printet out the map at 118" X 60" on a expanded polystyrene plate
and build a table with drawers for the miniatures around the map :-D
we took the big miniatures from A&A for more details and now the game
is perfect.We all want to say THANK YOU for your amazing map Imperious Leader.
Here i have some pics for you:

Wow!!!
That is huge. I thought my 48"x 96" was big but……
I have map envy! :| -
I few comments:
I see on the wall you printed my Great War map and the expansion map for Africa.
Have to played a game and also what version of the rules did you use? We are at like 12.0
Also, the map you printed on the table is not really AARHE, but can i assume you are using the map along with the rules for AARHE 4.0?

Because of the good quality of the map from Imperious Leader we could
realise the size of this great map. We wait wishfully for the global map 1940
(AAP & AAE)@Imperious Leader
Yes the great war map is awesome too but we played it only a few times with
rules 9.0. did you have any link with the new rules pls? this forum is a little wired
for us german krauts :-DYou’re right this is the wrong post because i didnt find your original AA50 map post,
we play this map with the original rules from the aniversary edition and some other
inventions.Greetings from great Bavaria

WOW Streifenkarl, that is just AWESOME!!
How did you print that map so big (or where did you do that) and what did it cost?
Also, where did you get that miniatures from?
Thanks,

@ Imperious Leader
thank you for the link, we try to play it with those rules because atm we play only
the global map 1940.we printed the map by a online poster-print-shop like posterjack.com (Germany)
and costs 250euros, the whole project (map, table, miniatures, special A&A Dice
and some other little stuff) costs much more than 1500 euros.The miniatures are from the whole world, we’ve buy’d a lot in US ebay, from Japan
and some shops like http://www.tabletop-store.com/kat/Axis-&-Allies-Miniatures-C1283.html,
the problem is to find the smaler miniatures from the different countrie’s, primary the most tanks are too
big for the map wo we bought first some Booster Packs and Starter Packs to see the dimensions from
the miniatures.
Next problem is to find the transport ships of all the different countrie’s, these are very rare also all german
miniatures, these are the favorite ones for you american guys :-D
