This nice addition to the Fantastic Maps line features, as you surely know, a nice large sailing ship. When fully assembled, the map measures 40" square, although the ship itself only requires 18" or so at its widest point. The extra space to port and starboard gives you plenty of room to bring in ships from other products, perhaps mounted on posterboard, cardboard, or foam board, to stage naval combat at the 1" miniatures scale. Quite a few such ships can be had nowadays in the printable map market. Jonathan Roberts’s great innovation in this product is to include very light, nearly transparent renderings of the sails, which many similar products simply omit. The pages bleed all the way to the edge, but they’re tiled. Most modern inkjet printers will handle them fine, but you may run into problems if your printer leaves more than a 1/4" margin on each side.
