Thank you for asking! Bill wanted this to be as widely distributed as possible, so if you want to put it other places, go right ahead. Just please don't edit it.
I was able to get it down to 38.4 meg in size by reducing it to 150dpi via Ghostscript btw - while the images do go down a little in quality they're still fine I think. I can link you my version and/or explain the process.
eta: actually the redrawn world map on p6 didn't turn out that well :/ it seems to have thought it was quite a small image size so not given it very high resolution, I'll see if I can do anything about that.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing
You are welcome! I've seen a jump in downloads the last few days. Did you see this on YouTube or somewhere, by any chance?
I believe it was on MeWe.com
Thank you for the work!
If I may inquire, may this be put up on online archive sites like Web Archives, or should it remain limited to this download?

Thank you for doing this! I'd love to see how the world-map turned out.
Here's the smaller version https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/w1e35akhzlsklm4subxrr/MyOldCampaign_150dpi.pdf?rl... - I converted it using the "ebook" preset in Ghostscript (using the instructions from https://itsfoss.com/compress-pdf-linux/ but Ghostscript is a cross-platform program so one could do the same not on Linux).

Let me try something. I have an idea.
OK Great! I was able to take you re-sized PDF, and replace the world campaign maps with the high-resolution versions. Best of both worlds!
oh nice! Glad that worked!
OS Awesomeness, Thanks
You are welcome. We are so happy Bill shared this with the world
Super resource - great to see old stuff!
Thank you for sharing this piece of history!
History is exactly what this is. Bill wanted to share it with people who might enjoy seeing it.
