-hex NW of Accra
-Hex 3 E Libreville
-All of the Quatarra depression (or?)

OK, you win, I saw none of them except the 3 firs.
SW of Bamako there were 4 hexes !!!!!!
Also, one was coastal to Mouths of the Amazons.

Steve, it would be good to have some kind of way to see coastal hexes better, only for tracking wrong ones, not for the game.

He has also moved them slightly so they do not overlie the hex grid as much. That's to prevent rivers and country borders from obscuring each other.

There is plenty of room so the names do not make the image cluttered. And being able to refer to by name to Santo Antao as an important hex because it straddles 2 sea areas is much better than giving hex coordinates.

I see 2 errors here.
- The River from Lake Edward to Lake Albert is missing
- The River from Lake Victoria to Lake Kyoga is missing
Both are correct in the data files, Rob may have forgotten them.

Just one small remark; I believe "French Somali Coast" (Côte Francaise des Somalis) is simply called "French Somaliland" in English text.

Welcome here Ahlner !

About "French Somali Coast", you are completely right. WiF FE has it the way you say.
I've also just checked WWII maps of the area, and "French Somaliland" is the right name.
I'll make the change soon.

Also, I wanted to rename the "Aden" Minor Country in "Aden Protectorate", as this is this name that is written on WWII maps. Opinions ?

I believe there are two entries for this name: as a 'minor country' and as a label for the map. The program doesn't care about the later, but the former is referenced internally. So let me know if you change the name in the minor country CSV file.

Unfortunately Vitrolles does not reach the 100k level . We are barely 25,000. During WWII, there was less that 10k
