Game Map ( an alternative )

Thank you thank you thank you, Imperious Leader.

I recently purchased 1942 after playing years of 1984 Gamemaster version.  I Love the gameplay of 42, the units, the dynamics, etc…  The no paper IPC thing is not a major deal, I dont care about the battle strip as opposed to a full battleboard, but my bigest problem was a cramped map.  I downloaded Iperious Leader’s map file, did a quick cheap print on some card stock and am very happy.  It improves my enjoyment of the game 10 fold!  I didn’t do a full size printout, as it wouldn’t fit on the table I commonly use, but the size I printed is perfect for me.  Everyone have fun and keep on battln.

That looks fine. I suspect you didn’t want to shell out $250 for AA50 and just bought AA42 and used the pieces and printed my map from your computer?

I see you made a smaller print then the original file?

And downloaded the rules for AA50?

So you got AA50 for the cost of AA42.

Bravo!

Exactly!  The picture I posted really doesnt do it justice.  The angle I took the pic at makes the paste lines from my 8 1/2 x 11 sheets really show up, when in actuality you really dont notice them from a normal game play angle.  Gives me that 250.00 gameplay experience for well under 40.00 total.    THANKS AGAIN

First post here.

I downloaded the PDF for the AA50 map. I printed it to scale on a large format drafting plotter and it came out 80"x36". Is this the real size of the actual game board in the Anniversary edition of AA?

Where can I find the rules and setup charts for AA50 online? I figure I should be all set as I’ve got all the game pieces I need. I have AA42, D-Day, and the older versions of AA Europe and AA Pacific as well as the early 2000’s issue of AA and the original AA from 1984. Got the pieces covered I think.

Any help with the additional stuff I need to get off the ground with AA50 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance.

I have an AA50 for sale. It has been played a few times but is still in excellent condition. If anyone is interested send me a message with an offer and the highest offer by 02/05/10 will get it along with the full set of Combat Dice from FMG. I also have a copy of 2nd edition, Revised, Europe, the original Pacific game, and Battle of the Bulge available for sale. Message me on those as well. I am keeping AAP40 and AA42. Thanks.

@Imperious:

Hey thats nice. I am not fond of the black oceans, but it is good work.

I have to agree, oceans too Dark and the ribbons with values are too long.
But very nice work!

@Bambam77:

I’ve also created an Alternate Game Map for Revised/1942 - if anyone is interested in it, I can upload it anywhere to share (jpeg about 80mb, tiff about 400mb).

Note that the printet Markers in each area are exactly as big as the gamepieces are - so if you put a marker on it fits perfect.

Thx for your comments

Hey Bambam i really like your work, is there any way i can download it as tiff ??? maybe it could be uploaded to rapidshare ? i would really appreciated it i have been looking for a new map to axis and allies revised… :-D hope to hear from you!

I’m really interested in doing this.

I need to find a good printing place for something this big.  I would want to print it the exact size of the actual board and place the new one over it and cut along the fold lines so it goes into the box the same way.  Must research more.

Great looking files.  Probably diggin the IL or the Deluxe, a toss up between them right now.

Hello. And Bye.

Thank you!! I understand noone has posted here for 4 years but i’ve looked everywhere for an alternative to a big map on several occasions and i finally found it here. So thank you! Bambam77 if you still have that large image of your map i’d love to make it. I think it’s a work of art however your previous post didn’t have all of the links?
