4th in the series. Here is the Caspian Sea. I included Teheran and Baghdad since they can be targets of the USSR's aggression.

15th in the series. Last stop. All passengers must deboard the train in Vladivostok. Those connecting to Suchan have our deepest sympathy.

Absolut (ly) awesome, love the zoom 2 views. This is art.
 
During the game will counters be visible in some form at the far away zooms?

Here is a zoom 2. I have set the unit resolution to medium, which makes the numbers larger, and the graphics cruder. They are marginally legible in my opinion, but you can gather a lot of information at a summary level with this view. The flyout display also lets you check out each hex, as I am doing with Brest-Litovsk here.

Zoom 3 with medium resolution is perfectly legible.

I like the new skin for the forms.
It looks like the external border of the form matches the color as the active major power. It looks good.

I see that the units in the flyout are of the lower resolution kind. Is it possible that the units in the flyouts are always the hi res ones, as the units in the flyouts are always displayed at the same scale ?

Yeah, I noticed this too when I uploaded it. I'll fix it someday, not today.
