Now...only 10 more corpsized INFs to go before all Germans INFs are done. Then of course all the other nations of the world remain [X(]

It is not contested by the people living in the islands. In fact the people voted to stay part of Great Britain.

All five of them? [;)]

Anyway let´s not discuss politics here. I have my opinion and you have yours. Let´s leave it at that.

I like how the edge of the world is a black abyss again, just like it was 500+ years ago.

Lots of nice work Patrice!

Could the weather line maybe be thickened up a bit?

Is it too late to comment on the America map detail? My first comment is with regards to the southern California resource placement. The current map has oil in the mountains to the northeast of the Los Angeles basin - to my knowledge there was no significant oil production in that area. Regional oil production was in the western Los Angeles basin and in Bakersfield. On the map this means I suggest moving the oil resources into the clear hex with the city marker and factories, or perhaps moving one there and putting the other into Bakersfield (the southernmost clear hex of the San Joaquin Valley north of Los Angeles). This latter idea would of course require a transportion connection to make the resouce usable and hence may not be tenable (as I don't believe we have pipelines in the game currently). There was (is) heavy crude production and refining in Bakersfield as well as Los Angeles.

My second comment is also with regard to the current location of the southern California oil resource, as it seems to be in the right place for a normal resource marker, perhaps the one currently in the mountains southeast of San Jose. I say this because the Kaiser steel mills were historically in the San Bernardino area east of Los Angeles, served by the Eagle Mountain iron mine even further east. I am not suggesting there isn't significant resources in the coastal mountains where the current resource marker is, I just am not aware of them, but the Kaiser mills and related mine were substantial in the WWII timeframe. In addition there was and is quite a bit of strategic mineral mining in the desert hexes to the northeast of Los Angeles (notably potash and cement), supporting the resource on that side of Los Angeles.

Here is what the Northwest of the USA looks like in MWiF, with the draft coastlines I drew.

US Pacific ports between San Francisco and Seattle

I notice there are currently no US minor ports between San Franciso and Seattle. Is that true or have we forgotten some port that had any

importance during WW2? I can't find any suitable port, but maybe it's like this because there is no such port. I don't know.

4) The huge Columbia River due west of Portland should run straight to the sea, rather than hooking NW to Grays Harbor and the Aberdeen inlet. There is some small room for debate about this, but given the location of Tacoma, there is no question. It should run due west to the sea.

Thanks for the feedback ajds and monkey.
I'm considering it.

About NW USA, do you think that Vancouver and Victoria (I know they are in Canada, but you might know) should be in those types of hexes (Clear and forest). The WiF FE maps has them both as mountain hexes. Would mountain hexes be better ?

Also :
San Francisco is in a Forest hex on the WiF FE map, and in a clear hex in MWiF. What is best in your opinion ?
Los Angeles is in a Desert hex on the WiF FE map, and in a clear hex in MWiF. What is best in your opinion ?
Tacoma is in a Forest hex on the WiF FE map, and in a clear hex in MWiF. What is best in your opinion ?
Portland is in a Mountain hex on the WiF FE map, and in a clear hex in MWiF. What is best in your opinion ?

Also, a few weeks ago, Borger asked :

What's your opinion with this ?

I am tempted to add Eureka, somewhere on the center west coast. Do you think it is a good idea ?

ORIGINAL: SurrenderMonkey
Sorry - forgot about Eureka.  If you make Eureka a city, then it's a supply source, potentially.  I could see it functioning as a secondary source on a sea chain, given its size and the harbor, but not as a land-based element of a chain, because of the remoteness and ruggedness of the area.

Can I punt?  [:)]

For Historical Accuracy, the In between port was Astoria Oregon, but is probably too close to portland on the map.

All cities North of San Fran should be forest and/or mountain. I can see both from my window.

in which hex would it be ?
