Here I tried my hand on something "else".

Map link:

Scenario link.

Enjoy! (Any feedback would be appreciated, it seems I do not get that so much nowdays.)

Definitely different. The water is white on my screen for some reason. Nice use of trees for palms.

In the briefing the term is Lend Lease not Land Lease.

Briefing corrected. Water is now with a bue texture but from certain angles it reflects the light and is seen in white.

Map and scenario updated.

Dear sztartur,
I have downloaded your excellent maps and scenarios and have had lots of fun with them.
But (forgive my ignorance) how does one create and /or attach these "MAPLINKS " or "SCENARIOLINKS" in order to be able to download them?
I've created some historical German "ReichsKriegsFlagge" icons for another war game (Battlefield Academy) and don't know how to get them
out to the gamers.

Any advice?

I think sztartur is using dropbox for his links. I thought junk2drive posted info on dropbox as well, but I couldn't find it, you could search for dropbox and find instructions on how to set it up.

Junk2drive also posted this in another thread: fb.asp?m=2882764

Thanks
rick

Dropbox it is. I started using it because Matrix people implied to use it, it's not bad.

I think your textures look really good on this map. One suggestion I would make is to mark the randomly placed boulders as obstacles in Map Maker. They look pretty big on the map, and it looks to me like tanks would probably be manuevering around them.

I had the same issue with some water texture appearing white as the light reflected. I tried a couple of things on mine to reducde the glare, but wasn't successful. I might look again though.

Thanks for the map. I'll create a random template so it can be used for Random Battles, but I probably won't add it into the ones used for random Campaigns.

Thanks!
Rick

Valid point.

I changed the boulders to obstacles. The rocky area is not really passable now. Could be some gaps maybe.

Map updated.

Since the boulders and big rocks are obstacles now, bloody MM built the map almost in two hours...
