Don´t worry. It is "print on demand" provided by CafePress. So unless they don´t run out of paper you´re pretty safe

Status: offline 		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!

Status: offline 		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

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.

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.

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.

Status: offline 		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...
