Anyway, I tried to download the latest release (the "summer" one), and I too have problem (download stopped before the end).
I'm trying again now, in case of a possible failure of my Internet link.

The inverted summer are awesome! Thanks! Now I have to struggle with the choice to use your maps or Plodders.
RE: All 27 Red Storm maps re-done, in summer and winter colors
Here's something for discussion, created while waiting for the 2.04 patch with possibly new maps:
- (20 pixel) map margins, with grid coords for the closest hex
It's mainly a decorative effect, resembling the margin of paper maps. However, the grid coords do match the hex ids reasonably well. The grid lines still have 1km spacing.
What do you think?

LOL, Looks like I've been playing with modded maps for so long I thought that even the minors rives were named and the modder's just left them out. [:(]

I've just updated all maps with the new map margins. It may take a while for the downloads to work fine.
In the downloads, map CA 1 Red Storm features stream labels to get your feedback. This should also make you guys run out of luck... So if your FASCAM doesn't take stop hostile armor, or if your AA isn't capable of taking out these Hinds in your next games, you know why : )

Wow, what you've done with the map margins is the icing on the cake for me! The style of these, looking so much like a military map, is exactly what I'm after for this game. If at some point you decide to add some subtle topo lines to your elevations you'll make me a happy gamer.
Very nicely done.
Very nicely done.

RE: All 27 Red Storm maps re-done, in summer and winter colors
Any update on the desert maps?
RE: All 27 Red Storm maps re-done, in summer and winter colors
I've updated the map packs as follows:
- all 27 maps now feature labeled streams, making it easier to define and memorize your battle plans, or write easy to understand AARs (see Iron Mike Golf's AARs in the After Action Report subforum).
- the 'printer-friendly' maps have been updated with the urban perimeter blocks (and labeled streams).
@Labeled streams:
Pretty much all streams have been labeled. Those streams without labels most likely represent ditches without a name on Google maps. In rare cases, the stream didn't receive a label because its game map position didn't match a single stream on the actual terrain data.
Mad Russian has done a tremendous job creating the German terrain as hex maps in the game. The streams are hardest to get right since they cannot go anywhere but between hexes; whereas houses and trees can be painted freely on hexes, streams cannot. Nevertheless, the process of finding a matching stream on Google maps for each stream on the hex maps has been straightforward.
@Printer friendly maps
I'm really happy to see these maps being used in AARs (such as Waltz of the Eaglehorse and Hunting Bears The Battle for Buchholz).
I did have another look at elevation lines. For the type of maps we (stacks of pancakes with cut-outs, with all steps having similar inclines), I cannot come up with an automatic way of adding elevation and elevation lines that will look "natural". Perhaps The Plodder can.
The next step for me is updating the maps for 2.04 (hopefully including one or more re-makes of the Flashpoint Germany maps). Afterwards, I'll dive into my NTC map again.

Thanks so much W1ll14m! These maps just keep getting better. The planning maps are really essential for me these days. I really appreciate your great work here.
