Not nitpicky, but I think it should remain as "Pearl Harbor" given that the name is so well known in the context of the Pacific war.

In the upcoming weeks or months is there any chance at all you can post a pic of the lower solomons for us to salivate over?

His screenshot on post #38 shows a road vs trail (found in WitP-1) between Chungking to Sian. If true, this should help get supplies and troops from southern China to the northern half.

His screenshot on post #78 shows no trail or roads connecting Burma with India. It seems to show that there are breaks between the two. I don't think there is any way to build roads, so how will the Allies be supplied in '43 or later when they counter-attack into Burma??

Thanks in advance!

They should, but I think you need AKs.

Rivers do not count as supply routes. Doing this was originally discussed, but it was not included in the project scope.

You can run AKs all the way up the Yellow river to Wuchow, but not in Burma.

Anybody who wants to can do the click-backspace-type shuffle on any base they want to just as soon as AE is released.

Don't know if Matrix plans to seel a map - but if not - then worst case - pull the AE map panels into a photoshop like application - stitch them together - resize as desired - and take to Kinkos if want it printed!

Thanks Joe. Am I right in assuming that I could do the same thing with the current WITP? I'm not all that photoshop proficent, but if it's possible , I can find someone who is.

No problem, Steve, that's what friends are for... to razz us when we stumble!

We are so detail oriented in our obsession with this game that I'll bet every single one of us have regularly overlooked the obvious while searching for the solution to some problem he is having.

Either....both. I can invest in tape. Or I can take the big one to Kinko's. For the small scenarios , I've already starting printing 8x10 maps and that works well. Now I'm trying to do something for the Whole theatre.

OK. Let me look into it to see an easy way to do it. I (obviously) don't have AE so I'll use stock and write down a generic procedure. It might involve software that you don't have, but I am only using free & open source software for this kind of thing anyway.

I'm no expert like some of the guys are. I have, however, been fooling around with the free downloads of topo maps from usgs.gov and getting them ready for printing in pieces (even after little editing). There are some steps in common with what you want to do.
