It looks awesome. I have access to fancy plotters at work, and I did this on a 36" roll of heavyweight photo paper with a satin finish on maximum quality. It took half an hour, and it is a thing of beauty. I’ll try to get some pics at home.
Just out of curiousity, did you manage to take some pictures? From what you describe it might be very high quality.

Just the 1940, sorry.
That’s fine, just wanted to make sure 1942 still needs to be checked. Will do this myself.
I’ve finished your corrections on 1940, but want to release all cards after checking 1942 as well before I upload them to prevent repeated manual work to combine and upload the files.
@8thGuards said in Tjoek's Global 1940 setup charts: Updated Dec 23rd:
I have an idea for something else. What about another chart about 2/3rds of the size of one of these setup charts, divided in two sectors. One sector with a unit price list, another with a mobilization zone for the purchase face. I think would be a lot better than the “fixed” price list/mobilization zone that used to be on the map (before you removed it, which I approve of). Then you could basically put it down wherever you want, depending on what power and which side of the map you’re at.
I’ve been looking at a similar ‘unit stats’ and ‘mobilisation zone’ cards, but haven’t thought about combining this into one card. Will give it a try some day.
@8thGuards Did you by any chance also verify the 1942 setup? Or just the 1940 setup?

I’ve finished creating all the setup charts for both Global 1940 and 1942. See the first message for the ZIP file containing all files. This does include setup charts for the Neutral powers as well.
Let me know if there are any errors.
They look great!
A few errors:
ANZAC
NSW minor factory (not major)Neutrals
Persia 2 inf (not 3)Germany
Poland tac (not ftr)Italy
sz95 missing subUK Europe
France art (not inf)
Scotland airbase (not naval base)UK Pacific
India art (not mech)USA
Midway/Wake/Guam each have airbase (not naval base)
Thanks 8thGuard! I cannot believe I made this many mistakes. Knowing you I’m sure that everything you found are real mistakes on my part :-)
Will try to fix them this asap.
The setups of both versions are definitely different. A quick search shows this file on BoardGameGeek:
Play aids 1st and 2nd edition global
I do think you need to have a BGG account to download the zip file. After extracting the pdf inside this zip file look for A&AG 1940 Play Aid Charts.pdf as this contains the setups and references for each nation for both 1st edition (in white) and 2nd edition changes (in yellow)
@vodot thanks mate! I’ll look into merging your fixes when I’ve got the time. Just started a new job which is consuming my time at the moment.
Regarding Iwo Jima, if you go the route of fixing all the islands to their correct shape you’re doomed with the AA maps. Most of the islands are rubbish. Or simply don’t exist at all. Spot the two fake ‘Atlantis’ islands in the Dutch East Indies.
very nice pieces and briljant printing quality! you leave me very jealous :relaxed:
@vodot looking forward to your results!!
Same to you all! And may 2019 bring you a lot of victories (and at least fun games)

Nice work Tjoek!
Small thing: maybe instead of M/m for Industrial Complexes use L/S? The difference right now is easy to overlook if you ask me. And Large/Small should readily translate to Major or Minor right?
As you can see I’ve left it as M/m as to me this is the closest visualisation to the Major / minor IC as they are called. I thought about using 10 / 3 (max number of units that can be build) to represent them but that didn’t look right next to the number of units in the other columns.

@Tjoek
I’m working on Honolulu as a tribute to all of this work you’ve done. I actually went and carefully isolated the dot, text and shadows out of the background before I realized you can probably just drop it all wholesale, land and sea bits and all, on the correct island.Iwo Jima is done already, assuming the rotation is all that was wrong with that one.
The real winner, here, is fricking GIMP. Seriously, I cannot believe something like GIMP exists.
Thnx mate! Please send the updates to me and I will merge them with the files posted on the main post.
@vodot these look amazing! I can only dream of this quality print work. (Or go the shapeways route offcourse)
Just to let you know it is happening to me once more. Seemed fine for a few days as you already mentioned.
@vodot said in Tjoek's 1940 Global Map file (Updated May 30th 2018):
@Tjoek this is incredible. Printing this out as I type. Now to find a sheet of 36x78in plexiglass…
Thnx @vodot! Please share a picture of your map when it’s printed, I would love to see your result!
Cool, and how does the size of the bottom circle match with the chips? Do they fit nicely?
Thanks guys!
Note that I’ve updated the first post to add download links to the original sized files at 300dpi. Since the new forum the old ways are gone and I need to link differently. Will get used to it :-)
Update:
I’ve finished and corrected all the setup charts for both the OOB 1940 scenario as well as Larry Harris’ 1942 scenario. They can be downloaded in one ZIP file
As my custom map use a few name changes to territories of both Russia and China, I’ve added the setup charts with the old names as well as the new names. So you can print what you like best.
Enjoy!
Note I’ve slightly updated the artwork such that the white letters now have a black border just as in the original artwork. 2 previews below:

Hi guys,
Parallel on finishing my Anniversary map file and working on my custom roundels I started working on custom setup charts for Global 1940. I wanted to have custom setup charts to a few reasons:
Inspired by the work of Siredblood I started designing with two design principles in mind:
Once again shout out what you think about them! And let me know if things can be improved.

Before I came up with these charts I worked on a system with one card per territory with visual clues to which units should be placed there. This will generate a lot of cards which I thought would be to cumbersome. But check it out for yourself anyway:
@Johnson73 Can you share with us how you’ve made these flight stands? They seem to have a different approach then the others I’ve seen around on this forum.
