D-Day Map - No Grid - Map Only

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This is a no-grid version of my map of the D-Day beaches, the whole Cotentin Peninsula with enough terrain inland to cover the campaign from June through most of July 1944... again, with NO GRID. Just the map only.*

Make a custom Game Design to refight Operation Overlord!

This super-detailed map is based on a Michelin 1947 road map of Normandy (which was sold to returning veterans) with 3 levels of roads, town blocks & names, rivers, beaches (low & high tide lines), gridded hexes or squares PLUS tons of info added: 20-meter contour levels, with capital ship anchorages (new in this edition!), naval gunfire range limits, forts, forests, swamps, drop/beach zones, bocage areas.

NOTE: the map itself is identical in all versions—the only variation is the shape of the grid and the size of the grid cells. Buy THIS map and you get NO GRID, and you can add your own grid(s) perhaps.

The thumbnail "cover" image shows the whole map you are buying at the bottom and an enlarged portion is around Pointe du Hoc. Now, that would make a great campaign game! Fight up the cliffs with a relatively small force then fight your way inland with less troop density.

How big is it? If you get the 600-meter-wide version and enlarge it to 1 kilometer to 1 inch, then the full map would be just over 5x12.5 FEET in size. One assumes that most gamers will just print portions for a campaign series of games or smaller for a big-scale game like shown on Little Wars TV.

The map's actual size is 36.666" high by 90" wide and can be reduced or enlarged. The detail will not get grainy/fuzzy when enlarged because it was drawn with "vectors" in Adobe Illustrator. The 3 Megabyte map file comes as a PDF which can be opened in the free program Adobe Acrobat Reader.

This digital PDF edition has more features and utility than my preprinted sections that I have sold hundreds of over the years. Bookmarks allow you to easily move around on the PDF map while zoomed in. This PDF is ess expensive and more flexible than buying my preprinted versions. 

Save now!

*I offer 8 map versions with different sized hexes and squares. AGAIN, THIS ONE HAS NO GRID! Just the super detailed map.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
