Sorry BChapman. Just saw your request. They are on the way. Yes, we'll post this package where folks can download it.

You can of course, make your own very easily with Fred Chlanda's map editor (which comes with the game now).

Start the program.

Click on load SPWAW map

Double click your choice clear_Map_1.dat (or something like that)

Next, Under "file" click on Set Shp directory.

Click on it, then find the Shp directory under your SPWAW directory. Double click on it and then open.

Now click on that scroll bar to the right. Your blue screen suddenly becomes green.

Next, click on Options - Inspection Mode

Look down at the bottom of that list. See where it shows map size? The first number is horizontal, second is vertical. If you want a 60x60 map, type it in.

Then click retain. Then click save as and save it.

Now if you save it in your Maps directory of SPWAW there will not be a cmt file to identify it, so notice where you put it when you save it...say pzmap200.dat.

Now I know it is in the 20th slot for SPWAW.

I start the game, go to editor, click on load map, click on that slot and there is my 60x60 map.

And that is the extent of my knowledge of the Map editor program :rolleyes:

Hello all,

A few months ago, I downloaded a freeware program from another wargame site that's called HEXGRID.

I had downloaded that at one time also, Don't remember where I got it either but I think I still have it on zip.

Right now I am using a utility called "Cyberboard" for my operational maps. Works pretty well. If anyone wants to look at it I could try posting it to my website for download. Might take a little time though as I am still kinda new to some web programming.
