Hi, FMG is selling metal stand for planes and i would like to know if some of you have bought these accesssories, the quality and how do you place the minis on them (hot glue ? do i have to drill a  litttle hole ?)

Thanks

As i said for the 1941 map, thanks to you. It only took me one or two hours to check all the things, nothing compared to your work.  :wink:
Hope this is the final version !
For the german insigna, i will upload a snapshot. I won’t be out without internet like the last three weeks, so i will be able to reply faster  :-)

Can’t wait for thr final version !

Ok Dedo, i spent some time checking the 1942 2ed and 1941 maps. I will reply in the right section for 1941 ed.
So, what i noticed concerning the 1942 2ed map :

• The most schocking is the german insigna : there is some red missing up and down which gives them a weird/unifinished look. (and under the title of the game too)
• East Mexico, not East Mexiko, and Mexico, not Mexiko
• “Panama Canal” and “Suez Canal” are missing
• On the original map, it is written “Anglo Egyptan Sudan” not “Anglo Egypt Sudan”
• The slashes (ex : Spain/portugal), i think they are too thin.
• The drawing on Sea zone 55 & 58 has a problem of transparency if you look closely (the other drawings do not have this problem)
• Sea zone 52 : this is written Wake instead of Wake Island
• On the mobiization zone, “UNIT STATS” is missing if compared with the original. Stas are ok, even not given in the same order (i personnally prefer yours)
• The starting IPC are 31 for UK (instead of 30) and 41 for Germany (instead of 40) . RThere may be an errat, i did not check.

Hope that helps

I won’t have accesss to the internet until friday.

• “Panama Canal” and “Suez Canal” are missing
• The starting IPC for the US is 17 and 15 on the original map (there may be an errata, i di not check)
• The original map says Washington D.C. instead of Washington
• There is a missing slash between Normay and Finland.
• speaking about the slashes (ex : Span/portugal), i thonk they are too thin.
• The drawing on Sea zone 43 & 44 has a problem of transparency if you look closely (the other drawings do not have this problem)
• Sea zone 39 : this is written Wake instead of Wake Island
• The japanese insigna for Okinawa soudn’t be on sea zone 45 but in sea zone 38 (that can lead to a confusion)
• On the mobiization zone, “UNIT STATS” is missing if compared with the original. Stas are ok, even not given in the same order (i personnally prefer yours)
• I hope there will be a double border version on this one, i’m not a fan of triple borders  :wink:

Hope that helps

Will try to check the map tomorrow.

@dedo:

1500mm? Hm, there is hardly a difference in comparison to the 1625mm x 863mm size. What do you think of roundabout 1200mm x 600mm? This is far more than the OOB size (830mm x 450mm), provides a lot of space for the (few…) units and would fit a normal table size (width/depth 60 cm).

I understand, i never played 1941 yet, because i always want a larger map (hate to use the plastic chips, i bought two copies of 1942 V1 which is cheap to have more tanks an infantry)
But maybe you’re right, perhaps 1941 uses a lot less minis so the 600 ou 700 size could be a good idea. I just hope i will have enough room on the map not to use the plastic grey/green/red chips.
Just tell me what you think about it please.  :wink:

Again, thanks a lot. Will wait for the two last one, check them, and see which one i will print. You are the boss !
I have, myself, translated into french, for those who would be interested:

• 1942 1st ed
  -1942 sec edtion
• 1940 Pacific first ed
• 1940 Europe first ed
• Guadalcanal

Thanks a lot. I know this is a hard work and i think people could at least say a little “thanks” that costs nothing.
I’m gonna check the maps next week (actually i can just go on the internet in the week-ends for a fex weeks, but not during the week) and see what version i will print.
Thanks, again. Really. You rule !!  :-)

Little up for Dedo about the final version of this map  :wink:

The actual size is size: 1625mm x 863mm; i think 1500 mm x ? mm (don’t know how to calculate) would be great, keeping the proportionality.

@dedo:

Map corrected:
-Borders around Poland adjusted

Hi, and thnks a lot again for the huge work and quality. Is the link given in the post above mentioning new version the final printable version ?

@dedo:

What will be the final size please ?
Can’t wait for the final version !  :lol:

Hi,
