No, the point is to ensure that others like it and use it. It's a bit of a waste of time to build a mod that only appeals to me

RE: My version of the 'Frontline' Mod
Map now completed as far as Stalingrad (some factory icons not yet added).
I have the Black Sea Coast as Caucasus left to complete. I will then post a full set of screens here and ask for any editing or spelling errors to be commented, referring to the map number.
Hopefully, I can upload the mod by next weekend.

Thanks. Votes here for the following options, please:
1. Winterized version (see my winter map mod on the Wiki site)
2. With Hexes version - how many people play with hexes on?

When the mod has hexes, than it is my new playcard. [;)]With Hexes version - how many people play with hexes on?

RE: My version of the 'Frontline' Mod
This looks fantastic!!!! Great work! I always wanted the names of the little towns. Suggestion: How about having a slight difference in dot size depending on town size? Or maybe square "dots" for the largest ones?
Winter version sounds awesome!
I always play with hexes on.

The winter map looks maybe a bit drab to me. The features (swamp, woods etc) kind of blend with the background. But I suppose it has to be seen with the games winter graphic to really see how it will appear in game.

I will try to brighten it up a bit, but the winter in the 1941 Soviet Union WAS drab

RE: My version of the 'Frontline' Mod
New icon key chart added on Zoom 1-3 levels. The new icons are not visible at Zooms 4 and 5, so I have omitted the key to avoid confusion...

Added indicators of shipping routes to help highlight cases where sea supply or sea evacuation are possible...
When I have time, I will look at doing this for all zoom levels.

RE: My version of the 'Frontline' Mod
IMO you don't need the shipping lanes - you already have port markers. They don't get used frequently and they're distracting with their redness and the stark ship silhouette. Simpler is better I think.
