Hi!
New version of the "planning map".
In reality naming from ;
Operationskarte Russland 1+2 -42

Mil. Geo railway maps -41 -41

Some changes of coast-lines.
Interior borders in Germany and SSR.
No changes ,of course, that influence game play.
( but; 1. added names are not in the game engine and a few names
changed. )

Thanks for this beautiful map[&o]

And Yuu corrected the Linz/Salzburg hex, I was just on the way reporting it.

EDIT: Sorry my fault, not corrected:

Linz has to be Passau, according to its positionof Donau and Inn..

Hi!
Next version hopefully[:)]
Goran

No worries,
I will dig into it and  will check for further "errors" and report. But this map is so overwealming, that it is very diffcult.

The river Niesse has to be Neisse.
Kottbus on 13/63 is in Germany regulary spelled Cottbus
Prenslau on 12/52 has to be Prenzlau
Elberswalde on 12/55 has to be Eberswalde...

But one can see that most mistakes are on the original map...

Nevertheless I keep going and eventually making a thread on th emain section about the original map
Thx for Your effort.

Many thanks for this highly detailed work, it's a joy finally spotting these locations which have been mentioned in print in numerous books, unfortunately the books did'nt have maps of this quality.

Begger's can't be chooser's and I'm so grateful that you have made this available to your fellow wargamers.
But I would so like to have a hexes version but maybe someone will have the ability to overlay these with a hex gid.

Again thanks for the time and effort spent producing the map.

This map looks great.
However, I am really stupid when it comes to adding mods to the game.
I downloaded the map and put in the WITE folder - after renaming the original version.
I loaded up the game to check out the map but it was the same generic map.
I obviously have screwed up somewhere - any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi!
Its now possible to download it from my home-site
www.mannaberg.se
(perhaps more easy)

Download to your desktop.
Then unzip it to the same place.
Go to the folder where you have the game. Click.
Go to the folder Dat. Click.
Go to the folder Art. Click.
Rename the origin file zoom2_nogrid, ex by adding reserve-
Keep it.
Finally move the newly uploaded file from your desktop into the Art folder.
Start the game. ( Choose the nonhex version.)
If its not functioning feel free to email me at goranwickstrom@hotmail.com

goran,

If you care to hear a suggestion for your next version of this great map mod, how about color coding the labels for cities that are not "game-supported". Just a thought...

If not, your current version of the Planning Map will remain on my machine; it's a nice piece of work! Thank-you for your efforts.

Best regards,

Hi!
I have thought of that. Perhaps it must be done and I plan to do so. From the beginning I planned to change things in the editor.
But that can only be for each individual scenario if I get it right.Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi!
I am reworking the "planning map" a little.
Colour coded the ingame cities and towns with a red dot.
Added names are still black with a black dot.
Headpurpose is still to resemble the original German Operationskarten.
That means that all names are Germanized.
In a few cases I have changed the name to another town since it differs totally from the game map. But game play is not influenced if You keep to the red dots.
Coastal lines are also more realistic.

Hi all,

Nice Goran! [:)]

BTW, when do you expect it to be finished with new stuff?

Sweet! I'm looking forward to it.

Hi!
The planning map is delayed about half a week.
Meanwhile the 4th German panzer division is resting in Copenhagen, Denmark.[8D]
