I need 1:18 maps of WWII Europe

[VMF115]

Do you guys have any that I can down load and print out?

[VMF115]

I am looking for scaled down maps of Germany and the eastern front.
but any will do.

I am just wondering if any one has done scaled down maps?

Here's what I've done to make approximately 1:18 scale maps:

You can do a Google image search for a European map, or a map of the specific battle or region that you want. When you find one that looks suitable, copy just the thumbnail image. Print that image with maximum quality and cut it out from the paper. The map will be small, but sized well for 1:18. Also, remember there were many different types of maps used, some in color, some in black & white, etc.

In my experience, this trick has worked quite well! You could also print the full-sized image and scale it down, but copying and printing the thumbnail image is easier, I think.

Here's a few thumbnail maps you could try copying & printing of Europe as a whole, plus some more detailed regional areas



These may not be of the specific areas you requested, as I was working on this message before you made your post. Hope this helps nonetheless

G'day VMF115

Here's a 1/6th one that I did a long time ago (I think it was for the Normandy region), the text is only globally-gook but even at 1/6th scale in is barely readable, so if you scale it down even further to 1/18th it should be even less so.

It’s not much I’ll admit but here you go anyway.

Here's the same image reduced to 1/18th.........................

There is no image, but I like it.

Sorry but Photobucket seems to be having some issues at the moment, give it 30mins and there should be an image there eventually.

Thanks I will print them out as soon as i get the bugs worked out of my printer.

Those are perfect I just need them in a bit smaller, a few in 1:16 and 1:18 scale

What you could do is you could print them out, and if you by any chance have a photocopier, then you could shrink it, or when you print it, you could choose the sampler option, and they make the pictures about 1/18 scale id say, its pretty hard to tell, and it fill the whole page full of them

Using a photocopier will degrade the quality of the maps.

[MIGMADMAVIS]

yeah thats true. Hmmmm, other than that I dont know what to tell ya other than searching for maps of germany through a search engine, and finding just the right size.

Hope this helps,

I'll see if I can shrink some down to 1/18th later today.

[Spudkopf]

Sorry about the delay but Photobucket has been a tad sporadic today.

Anyway here you go..........



Hope that is what you wanted.
