Large European Map/Ralph Boerke question

I believe around the year 2004 I purchased two great axis and allies maps created by a gentleman by the name of Ralph Boerke from Waterloo Canada.  The maps were laminated and the first one was a 1942 world map.  The second one was a Europe only map.  Anyways I just found both maps at my parents house. I have played the world map and loved it as Ralph included different rules for his game.  The Europe only map is huge! I never played it though :(. Has anyone ever played this A&A Europe map created by Ralph?  I know he was working on a pacific map also and wondered if he ever released it?

@wittmann:

We are well. Had a son on the 9th Sept, so we have one of each now. He and my wife are doing fine.

Congratulations wittmann on the birth of your son.

I work with kids every week, and believe me, Marc is right, at that age, they sometimes will come back around.

Hopefully, your son will take the mantle as well. :-)

@GoSanchez6:

I know you guys are busy and this question was bound to get asked so here goes. Larry’s WW1 game in my opinion needs some updated pieces how far on the depth chart would these be if they are even on it. I know I am getting greedy any info would be good. Keep up the good work guys it shows.

Thanks
Dave

I agree that the new WW1 game falls short in many ways and also that IL is talking about a new WW1 game in development that will add many units left out by WOTC. We are evaluating to see where we can fill in fro both games. We may do a set for WW! Neutral but with French pieces since a lot of nations used them. I will start a thread to see if there is any interest.

@stevan_avalon Asking the same question. Reminds me of World Conqueror and the hundreds of games just like it. A&A rules would be very cool and yes i have seen people make hex-based maps for A&A before :flushed: :grin: it was on Reddit one time and it was beautiful

Couldn’t you also sell the electronic files (also for Global War 1939) as you do for other custom maps? Or are you afraid that those files are shared?

Well no matter, i got them both printed on a double sided super smooth material (it is vinyl like) at 34x64 for 200$ + tax

Cant wait to try it out !

:D

@Sime:

For some reason he wrote to wizards of the coast to ask permission to post it. They denied, so he chose not to post it. It’s a shame, it looked really great.

Here’s the thread:

Thank you very much for guiding me there. Sucks to get posts deleted (same thing happened to me with my much improved handbook, something about copy-write or something)

Just a quick notice. The MotCreations website is undergoing a complete
restructuring and rewrite. The MapView sections will focus on the modules
from cooperating partners such as Imp Games, Deer Valley Game Company, and
others. It will also include a large focus on User-Defined Modules with
a catalog of player-submitted games. Some other projects beyond MapView
will be also be available, such as an AI for the civil war game “SQUARES”.

Along with all of this will be a forum to provide a single place to have
all of your MapView (and other MotCreations) questions answered. As it
stands right now, there are bits of information spread all over the web on
half a dozen different forums. I think it will be a great service to
consolidate these into a central place. While the website is still being
worked on, you can at least get access to the rough draft of the new forum
here:

http://pub60.ezboard.com/bmotcreationsgamingcommunity

I will be trying to replicate any MapView threads located on other forums
in our new forum so that new visitors can learn from the old questions.

Thanks to everyone who has supported MapView over past two years!
