This mod replaces the four map BMPs in your /Graphics directory. Make a backup of these files.

1) Replaced existing crossing markers with red crossing arrows.
2) Added red crossing arrows to straits not marked on the map (Kerch, Dardanelles, Sicily, Western Greece)
3) Moved Belfast-Glasgow sea zone boundary for clarity.
4) Added a little Afrika Korps palm tree to every location that is not in the Winter Zone.
5) Replaced current Ice Lines with Ice Floes Lines.
6) Added fort icons for all existing forts.

If I missed some or if there are any mistakes, please let me know.

Thanks, the fort markers are a little crude but it was just taking to long to get that beveled look with the drop-shadows or whatever so I just plopped down a bunch of black custom shapes.  I wanted to redo all the city graphics but there was just too much fine clean-up with the existing cities bleeding over into other elements.   Still, I might darken the spires to make garrison limits more visible.

Are the links broken or is it just me?

[Soapy Frog]

Oh man too bad these links are broken! Anything that improves this fairly hideous map would be good.

I have the maps but nowhere to put them up. They are pretty big, even zipped down they are over 9MB each.

[baboune]

hummm... that should be workable... Some must have some space somwhere...

[DCWhitworth]

How about this ?
