Hi, is possible that a heights on brown (marsh) maps are dark colored and heights on grey (snow) maps are light colored? Am I right?

Yes, somewhat annoyingly, dark sometimes means high and sometimes mean low and vice versa. It always take me a bit of squinting and crossing my eyes before I adjust. A bit like one of those magic eye pictures.

An easy way to test your question is to right click on the map and observe the Z value.

The reason that things like this can occur is because the colors for "altitude layers," or height, are completely distinct from those for unique types of "ground," like a marsh.
BTW, if you're artistically inclined (which I'm not), the process for modding the graphics is outlined in the MapMaker manual.

Thanks for answer, I just want to know, if it is bug or not. An easy way to check map heights is look to google earth, I always do.
Anyway Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge is the PC wargame of the year without doubts, I will write review for Czech gaming magazine SCORE, suppose result 90%. Thanks to Panther Games and Matrix Games.
