I’d PM people and ask.
Thanks for the help.
Looks like I can just copy them on my printer, they came out ok. Just going glue them to the back of U.K. markers. Should be ok.
BGG “has parts” section of an A&A game with them in it?
Didn’t see it there.
Maybe someone has a file that can be printed out. Or maybe I’ll just copy the couple that have a few times and glue them to the back of some U.K. markers.
@Imperious:
Dude that’s miniatures. Nobody plays that junk. Its not the AA games…
Oh ok. Too bad it looked promising.
@Young:
I can get a quote from my print shop for a 72" X 33" 1940 Global map printed on adhesive vinyl with or without cold lamination option. This would roll like a poster making it more affordable to ship, they have a UPS account that is fully insured as well.
Adhesive vinyl was your final solution? Did you stick it on 1/4” plywood? How hard was that to do without screwing it up? laminate is matte or glossy?
Sorry for all the questions.
Anyone have this? What is it like?
2 double sided maps??!
@SS:
What size ? 3 x6 ?
Ya about my price after u break it down in size mine 4 x 8 f. 125.00 3 x 6 f 90.00
Just want the 76”x 33” file YG has up here. I’m happy with OOB size.
What was the 275-375 quote for? Styrene, metal?…. Im here in mission Viejo, going out tomorrow for my quotes.
What kind of quotes did you get?
Vinyl was 480, and thin plastic paper stuff, non tear able was 300… prices are for 6 maps, I didn’t get into individual costs, as I need 6 for my event.
Great price for 6 maps!
Bad news for me the metal map guy quoted me
$200 to pack and ship. My dreams are destroyed!
I guess it’s vinyl for me. Which is fine
Looking to sell.
It is in absolute excellent condition. Played maybe 3 times.
Trying to offset a G40 map print buy.
$100 shipping included to anywhere in USA.

Metal map. Without a doubt it would be the best map to have.
@CWO:
Global 1940 2nd edition has more nation-specific sculpt designs than the 1st edition, including a full set of nation-specific ANZAC and Italian sculpts. That element is strictly speaking just cosmetic, if the only consideration of your conversion is playability. Each nation (except China) does, however, get actual anti-aircraft artillery sculpts in the 2nd edition, which were absent (as sculpts) in the 1st edition.
I have a copy of 2nd edition. I keep it at my father in law’s house. He loves the game, it is set up 80% of the time I go over. I have my 1st edition at my house. Yeah 2nd edition sculpts are better but just looking for playability when just me and son can play. We had 3 of his buddies playing 1914 last weekend and they loved it……more recruits.
That is crazy money. I paid $130 for an almost 4x8 board in Seattle on Vinyl.
Yep, going with vinyl. :-D
Not sure where you live but I use AlphaGraphics in Sunnyvale, CA. They have printed two boards for me 1942 v2 and 1940 on cold rolled steel. It is probably double what vinyl costs. I am sure they can/will print on just about material you want, however.
They do good work and had to learn how to print on steel so they had to print it a few times…they didn’t charge me for that. They even sourced the steel. The owner is Alejandro. Best thing, the whole crew was into the printing. The had me bring sculps to see how they looked on the board and wanted to know how it is played. The front desk person’s (Suzan Pearson csr462@alphagraphics.com) was going to boot camp she wanted some pictures. I think the owner’s son is in the Navy or Air Force.

Anyway, they are one potential source and I am sure they would ship and be happy to work with you.
Let me know if any questions…SJ
Just got a quote, 1 piece 70x32, for $275 from them.
Another for$375, 2 pieces that connect. It’s a lot of money but it would be nice.
You could try the AA guns from the base set;

Good find. Did not see those earlier.
@Young:
Is there a way to get this file without having to deal with mediafire?
What a pain.What exactly is the problem you’re having with mediafire?
Disregard, I was clicking “view” and it was putting me through the ringer. I assumed “download” would do the same. I got it now.

What a pain.
I have 2 copies of global, one of them is 1st edition.
From what I can tell I’ll need to get the rule books and AAA guns for each country.
From HBG I can get British, USA, Russia and ANZAC AAA guns.
Germany and Italy I would need to get Artillery units since the “artillery” units in 1st edition are actually AAA guns. HBG is out of stock. Their generic artillery units look “ok”. Do the colors match well with the orginal Axis and Allies units?
HBG doesn’t have French AAA units(no big deal)
HBG is out of stock with Japanese AAA units. I seem to be out of luck, any suggestions?
Anything else I’m missing?
I would recommend that you go to a specialty print shop in your town that has the capacity to print the size of map that you want. I can tell you that the Staples Office Depot in my town has a printer that is 500 miles away from here and they really didn’t know jack about printing more than doing pages. Their expertise seemed to be finding out how much it would cost me by reading a manual and telling me how long it would take.
I went to a local print shop, Papyrus Printing, who have a large printer on site and people who were knowledgeable about printing. I told them what it was for and how durable it needed to be. I asked them what I should have it printed on and how to protect it (they don’t all have the same materials in stock). My map was printed on some kind of vinyl and then finished with a cold matte laminate. You want to stay away from any type of glossy protective laminate or material because it will reflect the light and you will have a difficult time seeing the map. The cost will vary from place to place but a quality job is worth paying decent money for.
Here is a short video that I made when I had my map done;

Thanks for the tips and video. I live in Los Angeles so I won’t have a problem finding a print shop if I go with vinyl. Do you have it glued down on something?

That’s sounds ideal. Do you have any pics or videos?
