bump.
Thanks for the timely bump. This is exactly what I was looking for in my thread.
IL : can you change Afganistan to Afghanistan?
Its a great job. I wish I could print it. But I already have the board. But having a bigger one is greater!
ill fix it.

fixed with correct spelling of Afghanistan
great map, thanks.
IL, I have downloaded the map and it looks great. I found a printer at work that is on the network that has a continous roll paper on it that is 3’ top to bottom. So I could print out a 6’x3’ map easily(during overtime while no one is there…“insert evil laugh”)
What if I wanted to scale it down to 5 feet? Is that doable and HOW do I do it? I’m not much of a computer guy. I don’t think my table can do 6ft.
Wow! Fantastic map… I haven’t even played AA50 yet but I’m gonna swing by Staples tomorrow to see how much it’d cost to print/laminate this.
oK IL,
Here is some feedback.
Everyone is a critic. My 12 year old says that he would like to see FDR’s picture in the background in the Eastern USA and some mountain topography in other areas like the original map.
I like the size and appreciate your efforts. I just printed it in sheets of 8 x 14 for now.

I do anything for kids. I can make a copy just for you and do this… so let me know and PM me. As far as topography I can do this as well, but if only in eastern USA would look really strange.
This map is really stunning… thanks again for making and sharing it!
I just noticed a minor quirk: Breakthrough Chart 1 has a spot for Advanced Artillery but is missing the text. Likewise, there are drawings of super subs, rockets, and jet fighters, but only text for the other Breakthrough Chart items.
I think I downloaded the most recent one, but maybe I somehow got the wrong PDF?
I guess i forgot to move the text behind it forward. I have a new file for this fix.

@Imperious:
yea but how much to print something thats 72 x 36 and printed, lamininated and mounted on 1/4 inch thick styrene plastic sheets?
Less than $10. I’m serious
Where and how? The prices I’ve found range from $70 to $100 just to print (not counting laminating or mounting).
its in China

Oh right, I missed that.
bump.
Why is this thread not stickied or pasted as a link on the main page? That map is incredible.
So, what is the best way to have this map printed. Has anyone tried it on a canvas? Would that eventually wear down?
I don’t want to sticky it because it would look like grandstanding. It does satisfy a need for many but i would have to let everybody get a sticky of their map. What right do i have to place my self ahead of others who also make maps but don’t have a sticky? You see its a can of worms that i don’t want to get into.
Ah, I didn’t find any other versions. Im new to the forums and found yours first.
Your suggestion is laminate and put it on styrene plastic?
Thanks
Sorry One last question. DO you have the latest version of your map without the charts on the side?
