Donīt worry. It is "print on demand" provided by CafePress. So unless they donīt run out of paper youīre pretty safe [;)]



rogueusmc -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/3/2004 7:53:45 PM)

I WANT HEX SIDE DETAILS, DANGIT!!!....[:D]



mongo -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/3/2004 8:53:52 PM)

Woo hoo!

[&o]

On order already [:)]

Once it gets here, I hand Kinkos another $10 for lamination and I'll be set for the winter [:D]



kaleun -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/3/2004 9:06:10 PM)

I'll get two, as soon as I get back from vacation.



freeboy -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/3/2004 9:27:34 PM)

hello k, are you taking your laptop on vacation?



Banquet -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/3/2004 9:29:24 PM)

Ordered mine too.. once it arrives it will have to be laminated so I can draw all sorts of impressive looking arrows all over it.

I'm not sure about playing myself in a hotseat game (as has been mentioned in another topic - I did too much of that with boardgames 20 years ago!) But I reckon I'll have to play out at least 4 different war planners arguing over the map..

'We must attack here *draws big arrow on map* and then cut them off here! *different colour arrow* Then, other me 'No, we must strike along this island chain *bigger arrow* and hit them where it hurts!!' *hastily draws circle on some island*

This'll be the final straw for my poor girlfriend!

[:D]

LOL! Especially if you guys play the Japanese side and accurately simulate the IJA-IJN rivalry [sm=duel.gif].



CTB123 -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/5/2004 12:29:33 AM)

I ordered a copy of the hex map. Now I have to figure out how to display it without my wife noticing it. She is not big on me buying new games, but a Digital Download is relatively easy to add to my collecting with out all the incriminating CD's, boxes, manuas and everything. A 3 foot map is a little more noticible

Stilletto -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/5/2004 5:02:37 AM)

Now the next big decision....

With hexes or without?



Brady -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/5/2004 6:12:34 AM)

Excelent! I was hoping to be able to order this:)



Tankerace -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/5/2004 8:17:14 AM)

I'd order one, but since they can't even get a cd to me I'm kinda hesitant.

Digital River and Cafepress are two different companies. When I last ordered from Cafepress they shipped all the stuff to GErmany within 3 days.

Do you have a better picture of each? I want to see how invasive the hexes are on the map. The pictures on the web site are too small to make out any details. I realize you are doing that somewhat to keep people from printing out their own, but a little more detail will help me decide which to get.

Thank you.



mongo -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/5/2004 9:31:14 PM)

My hex map shipped this morning! [:)]

I'll let y'all know in a few days...

There is a hex map out there on Spooky's site. I believe it's the real deal, so you can take a look at it Stil..

Toro -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/5/2004 10:39:26 PM)

Marc,

Know what I'd like to see? Same map with the ocean hexes a very light blue. This would allow us to laminate and write on the map, making notes more visible.

Just a thought.

Thank you. I will be waiting to hear how it looks.

Hmm...wonder how the girlfriend will react to being given a WitP tanktop for her birthday. [&:][:)]



Rocco -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/8/2004 5:50:15 PM)

I've been hoping for this for a while, thanks very much!

Buy a white grease pen [;)]



Sonny -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/8/2004 8:47:35 PM)

Got mine yesterday and the hexes are, as you would imagine, small. Looks good though. Haven't got it laminated yet.



AlvinS -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/9/2004 1:39:01 AM)

When mine arrives I am going to mount it in a poster frame, the kind covered with plexi-glass. That way I can hang it on the wall next to my computer and write on it with a grease pencil. I have been doing this with my Civil War game maps and it works great. You can buy a poster frame around 10 to 20 dollars.

Well, the designer who did Campaigns on the Danube also did a strategic ACW game under his own publishing label (ADANAC)...perhaps it will ultimately be redone and published by Matrix

Currently I am playing The Civil War by Victory Games, but I also play the Great Campaigns of the American Civil War series. The one by Victory Games covers the entire Civil War.

I am playing these games online with a program called VASSAL. Its a great way to play when you cannot play face to face. With this program, you can play live, or PBEM.

The maps that come with these games fit in a poster frame that is 24 x 36 inches. I pay anywhere from 12 to 18 dollars, but it does a great job of protecting the map when I am playing face to face, but also allows me to hang them on a wall for reference when I play the game online.

I would love for Matrix to make my favorite Civil War games into a computer game. [8D]



Mike Scholl -> RE: WITP - Maps now available (8/11/2004 8:56:17 AM)

The fact that MATRIX is making a printed version of this map available is one of
the worst pieces of news I've heard on the forum. It means they are committed
to this God-Awful piece of junk with all it's inaccuracies. Has anyone eles noticed
that aside from the "made-up transportation nets" the "distance-warping effects"
are also one-sided? Not only is New Guinea/Pt Moresby out of C-47 range from
Australian Air bases they historically made the flights from---but Rabaul is also
completely out of B-17/B-24 range from ANY base in Australia---even though it
was regularly bombed from them in the actual war. It looks more and more as
if a "Japanese Fan-boy" put this thing together...
