Downloading the map now.

That map is pleasure to behold- it gives the game an old world touch.

Very nice

A much more earthy feel to it.

Much bettter than the washed out look of the stock map

I can't wait for them to release those counters in the next few weeks

My bugaboo is the fonts. Happily, I've changed those to suit my taste.

How much does that mileage vary, if any?

Each to his own, but I like it.

However, they should publish a version without the huge pictures of monuments that degrade the precision of hex terrain and features around key objectives.

Probably a fair call- I use Geyerfalk's counters and don't really have any issues.
But I also have decent sized monitor too, I just find the map a little easier on the eyes with it not being so stark.

It is clean and crisp...and colorful enough in a soothing pastel way. I will stay with the original even though I think the DMP map is a pretty painting. 8^D

I am using the map without the monuments. You will see that I am using a weather mod from the Modding forum here. As you scroll down, you will see the screen shots change to the modded map. It too shows mud turns. I find that the zoomed out view works quite well. Better in fact for my eye. I am satisfied with the counters themselves at the moment but I would like to see something slight different for this map; not Napolionic althought I love the Empire looks of the day. What bridged the gap between the early 1800s and 1900s? What do the symbols of the Franco-Prussian war in the 1880s look like?
