That map defiantly deserves a campaign. Let MR get a hold of it, he could probably come with a campaign we can beat our heads against.

I really appreciate you mod guys. Through out the years I've attempted with various games to make maps. I just always fizzle out shortly after starting, as i would rather play than mod.In my small feeble attempts i became aware of the time requirements to do map mods and scenarios for games. We all have life's time constraints and i appreciate the fact you guys spend your free time improving games and my enjoyment of those games through your mods, thanks.

Very well said sir!!

I couldn't agree more..... thanks to all of you! [&o]

Gotta know when to stop yourself, Plodder. Before you know it, you might end up accidentally mapping all of Europe. [:D]

Elevations and waterways done,roads and railways next....

Very nice work! [&o]

If you need some help for merging of the existing .fp9 to the extended map give me a call or perhaps I can do it for you.

I would say that there should be a campaign on that map after the release of Southern Storm where multiple nationalities can be on the same OOB!!!

We'll discuss that at the next Development Meeting.

Good Hunting.


MR

I think I'm going to go for a scenario that replicates the opening mission of World In Conflict: Soviet Assault [;)]

Thanks Harry, I was just thinking of your tool, I'll give it a go once I'm ready. I really don't want to do the hexside obstacles again,lol

I was thinking of doing another version once SS comes out

I had started on the roads when the thread on hex grid alignment reminded me that that my grid was slightly off. So I saved the map as test and put it into the map values editor where I saw I had to shunt the grid a few pixels to the left and then crop the map a few more. I also found that I had to add half a hex length to the bottom row.This has meant that I had to go back and add more water hexsides and contour layers. So I've cleaned up the mess and now I'm back to where I was with the roads.

it's a real shame you couldn't do maps for all war games, as in some there really needed, this level of detail is imo great and while i say it's eye candy and the AI and game itself is more important, i'm a idiot anyway so carry on as i'm sure everyone enjoys them, i do that is for sure, now we need to tempt you to the dark side and do some for other games lol, but of course only the ones i play lol

The madness continues.[:D] I was not 100% happy with Tempelhof airport still feeling too close to the eastern map edge, as this will probably be one of the major areas of fighting.It's been nagging me every time I look at it, so I've decided now was the time to do it before any more got done to the map.

I've extended the map east again to include more of the Wall. This enables more manoeuvre room for the Pact player to plan for an attack on Tempelhof.It also gives more of the American Sector to defend for the Allied player (and more mapping work for me to do!). I'm pretty happy with this now, I'd like to add more of the French Sector but I think the map is big enough for now.

Here's a screenie of the underlying map template I'm using with the original map shaded in grey.

Terrain and waterways updated. Making good progress on the roads.

I know which one great new game you are talking about .

Roads, railways,borders and Wall done. I had to re-jig the waterways again as I wasn't happy with some of the placements. Hopefully, I won't have to do it again.I'm onto the good stuff now, trees and buildings.

Awesome work. [&o][&o][&o]

I'm well into terrain shaping now, NW corner is of the map is done. About to jump over the Tegeler See and into Tegel proper.

Great work!!

Good Hunting.

MR

Nearly at East Berlin, it's slow going at the moment due to all these mixed terrain areas.

It's been a busy few days at work, but I've made it over the Wall:
