Post subject: A&A D-DAY board needs x2
|
 |
|
Gents. I have the A&A D-Day game, and i want to use my version1 minis to play instead of the crap pieces that come with the game. To do this, i need to double the size of the map/gameboard. Could a printing firm do this? any ideas?

If you can get a digital copy of the board print it out on a bunch of 8x10 sheets of paper, lightly adhere them to some 1/2 in thick particle board and put some plexi glass over it. I bolted the plexi down with "fancy" bolts on an AA50 map.

bad pic of my AA50 board. Toughest part was trimming the edges off each page since I have a decade old HP 712C as my 8x10 printer[/img]

Yeah, i tried to print off the six adjoined sections on my printer and then make them larger, but the problem was the joints between the sections left out alot of the map. I think i'll take it into a printer and see if they can do it better than my redneck version.

Just remember some print shops won't due to copyright issues.

Go to a print shop that specializes in Blue prints, They are usaully cheaper. Stay away from Kinkos or UPS. Way to expensive

Don't know what 'BLUE" prints are, however, in the one horse area i'm in, one doesn't have alot of choices for printshops.
