the ship speed will be a real problem for convoys... imagine hundreds of bombers in sicily and sardinia... and you will have a real massacre.... i think we should increase the transports speed to avoid that... not to 6/6 speed but 4/4 shoul be right i think.

and having stukas as dive bombers they will be too lethal for convoys...


Just reduce the accuracy of the aircraft and/or their devices then. Especially the Italian ones

The fact is, until you can actually try it out it's all speculation anyway. As I said, the main thing is the map ...

I have been following the development of this editor from the first day I saw it mentioned
in one of the threads the download link and development site is

http://bellsouthpwp.net/j/a/jamesa62/witp_editor.html

its not associated with matrix but is based on on the new editor version plus the ability to
edit the PWHEX file that I asked for
It is still in Beta testing but it works and more features that I had asked for such as when you high light a ship or air in the data base the art for it will be shown
changes are added and need to be download almost weekly

Good luck with the pwhex. I don't know if this new editor helps with matching up hex-sides for adjacent hexes but when I was experimenting with this stuff that was the biggest problem ...

It's a very cool editor, even if it does still have a few tiny problems...

Also it would be better if you would use borders from 1945 not from 2006.

now as work progress take place what will happen the white dots will be removed and a lot of the base names will also be removed to stop clutter - where a base icon covers a base name on the art the name will be removed or moved
I have created a single hex pathway at top of map (breaks land link between Germany and Denmark) to allow German TF's to move into the North Sea - artistic and tactical licence)

Cobra

PS If anyone else wants to try their hand at creatin a scenario based on this map let me know
and I will make draft map available

Ipswitch should be Ipswich
Waymouth should be Weymouth

Also, if there is to be a base where Ipswich is it should be Harwich. Cruisers and destroyers were based there. Ipswich is an inland river port ...

I'm not sure about Brighton and Weymouth either, in terms of naval significance.

Still, looking great

Is it for UV OR WitP engine ?

Here some spelling and fixes for italian map panel:

Wrong city position:
Pescara should be moved north, where the 2 railroads meet.

Wrong spelling:
"La Speza" ---> "La Spezia"
"Livorrano" ---> "Livorno"
"Taliso" ------> "Udine"
"Ajaccia" ----> "Ajaccio"
"Solerno" ----> "Salerno"
"Reggio di Calabria" --> "Reggio Calabria"
"Catazaro" ---> "Catanzaro"
"Otanto" -----> "Otranto"
"Barletta" ----> "Bari"

Italian name for city currently called with english name:
"Naples" ---> "Napoli"
"Milan" -----> "Milano"
"Turin" -----> "Torino"
"Genoa" ----> "Genova"
"Florence" --> "Firenze"
"Rome" -----> "Roma"

Cheers!
