      Is there a better resolution of the map? I think id like to print a large format version

      In all these years since I played E&W the first time, so maybe about 2000, I’ve not come across a high res digital version of the E&W map, other than the one that works with MapView. I even asked Imp about getting a copy from them, for a price, but I seem to recall they weren’t interested in making it available.

      I think I may eventually try to recreate the E&W Cold War-era scenario on one of the more recent A&A maps - either the Anniversary map or maybe Siredblood’s or one of its offshoots - and work up the starting set ups, territorial control changes, etc. since finding new copies of the old E&W map seems unlikely. And then I’ll just use existing pieces I already have, plus some new pieces from HBG.

      I looked on my hard drive and I don’t have TGW rules saved there, that I could find. I may have a copy of the rules for TGW on the Imp Games E&W disc; will check that on Friday.

      I do have the E&W rules scanned in and archived. I really enjoyed E&W when I was playing it regularly, circa 2000-2003.

      And as it turns out, I do have the Imp Games The Great War disc, so I have the MapView module, the strategy guide, and the rules. Will dig into it tomorrow!

      @the-janus

      I’m sorry, @the-janus. I have been swamped for much of this year with various hobby publishing endeavors and haven’t had a chance to do more than pull out a few maps. I played one game over the holidays, in 2021, but nothing since.

      Yeah, it might be that. But right now, the only TGW map is in MapView, right?

      FWIW, I was able to dig this out of archive.org, from the Imp Games website; I probably have it saved somewhere, but it was just quicker to dig it out that way. (Obviously not high-res, but was freely available online, when the site was up.)

      I’d forgotten how good that TGW map looked!!

      As I’ve touched on previously in the thread, the E&W map looks like it’s a modification of the Xeno Games “World at War” map – some obvious Cold War changes are included, like east/west Germany, Yugoslavia/Greece, and North/South Korea.

      I, too, think the E&W map was based on the WaW map, but they cleaned it up a lot, and dressed it up a lot. A LOT.

      @the-janus said in "East & West" by Imp Games - Discussion:

      Typically those changes are hard to come across in a map expressly meant to run a WWII game, but something like Bloodbath (IIRC? whatever the cool kids are playing these days…) might come close.

      Agreed…the geopolitical landscape changed quite a bit between 1940 (‘41, ‘42, ‘44) and 1948. I have IL’s Anniversary map and the BBR map in digital, though, so I want to sit down with them sometime and see which would be the best/easiest to work with.

      @the-janus said in "East & West" by Imp Games - Discussion:

      On a related topic, I always thought the TGW map would be handy for a WWII or even an E&W scenario. I liked the mechanic of infantry entrenching, that was something I had wanted to borrow and expand on, for a homebrew idea I had.

      Yeah, it might be that. But right now, the only TGW map is in MapView, right? Wouldn’t the 1914 OOB map, IL’s double-size 1914 map, or Tjoek’s A&A 1914 map, the latter two of which are currently available as DLs here on this site, work almost as well as Imp’s TGW map, for physical F2F playing? (Realizing that if you’re focused on using MapView and not playing a physical map, TGW may be the better or only option.)

    • RE: Rules for East & West , War in 1948

      @midnight_reaper - did you ever come up with the East & West rules you were looking for, back in 2020? If not, shoot me a PM.

    • RE: New game called: Battle of France 1940

      @Freddy:

      TacoJohn,
      Sorry about being late on answering your PM. I’ll have to delay and discuss with my partners for digital copies of the rules and set up charts. I will discuss it with them, and I’ll get back as soon as I can. If you have any more questions please ask though!
      Thanks man,
      Freddy

      Ahh, I guess this is a moot request now, seeing as how I received a copy of the game for Christmas and can now make my own digital copy of the rules and set-up charts.

      The game itself looks good and I’m interested in giving it a run-through. Too bad you couldn’t accommodate a simple request to preview the rules. But hey…it’s your game, so you get to set the policies.  You could take a lesson or two in customer service from HBG.

    • RE: New World Order - variant with Revised rules on a new, giant custom map

      Following up on an old topic, are the initial setups for this A&AR variant written down or posted anywhere accessible?  I don’t have the TrippleA app, so I can’t just look it up on the NWO map.
