They are there already in 20 pieces ... you just need to print them out to a 1:1 scale and tape them together.
I want to avoid the taping [:)]
On the other hand, with a little bit luck you can join these 20 pieces into 1 single pic and print that
on what large paper printer?? [:D]

If you have the bucks or the access to one of these, then you can print a copy for each one of us here! [:D][:D]

Why Matrix can’t print WitP Map posters and sell them separately from the game? Additional money for Matrix and no need for WitP players to torture their printers.
From what I was told they are going to.

[&o] That’s great! I hope the scale will be appropriate.

Gen Melchett: Look, this is the amount of land we've recaptured since yesterday.
Lt George: Oh, excellent.
Gen Melchett: Erm, what is the actual scale of this map, Darling?
Cpt Darling: Erm, one-to-one, Sir.
Gen Melchett: Come again?
Cpt Darling: Er, the map is actually life-size, Sir. It's superbly detailed. Look, look, there's a little worm.
Gen Melchett: Oh, yes. So the actual amount of land retaken is?
Cpt Darling: Seventeen square feet, Sir.
Gen Melchett: Excellent. So you see, young Blackadder didn't die horribly in vain after all.

Much more than I love this map. I still can't believe that after a couple years of work
they couldn't have come up with a projection that didn't distort distances (Like making
Singapore 100+ miles closer to Saigon than in the real world) and include so much
"waste space" (Take a look at the SE Pacific and the Arctic---two places very unlikely
to see any usage). It's very pretty, but could be a whole lot more useful.
