We finally got this area straightened out. It is the overlap of the European map with the Central Africa segment, plus it has the Qattara Depression graphics.

Most of the lake region in central east Africa. We had to clean up a lot of stuff here. I don't see any mistakes remaining.

I see 2 errors here.ORIGINAL: Shannon V. OKeets

- The River from Lake Edward to Lake Albert is missing
- The River from Lake Victoria to Lake Kyoga is missing
Both are correct in the data files, Rob may have forgotten them.

Beautiful!
Just one small remark; I believe "French Somali Coast" (Côte Francaise des Somalis) is simply called "French Somaliland" in English text.

Excellent ! But can we see some of these at the lower zoom level (e.g. smaller hexes- just to get some comparison) ?

About "French Somali Coast", you are completely right. WiF FE has it the way you say.
I've also just checked WWII maps of the area, and "French Somaliland" is the right name.
I'll make the change soon.
Also, I wanted to rename the "Aden" Minor Country in "Aden Protectorate", as this is this name that is written on WWII maps. Opinions ?

Africa is big. These are at zoom level 2 so you can read some of the names.

I had to check to see if these exceeded the 500KB file limit - 462KB was the largest.

4th and last in the series. Some of the Persian coast line is done but not all of the Persian Gulf (e.g., Trucial Oman & Basra aren't finished).

I believe there are two entries for this name: as a 'minor country' and as a label for the map. The program doesn't care about the later, but the former is referenced internally. So let me know if you change the name in the minor country CSV file.

Unfortunately Vitrolles does not reach the 100k level [:D]. We are barely 25,000. During WWII, there was less that 10k [;)]ORIGINAL: CBoehm
