Lol. Yep, I'm not sure how long this will take but I'm going to juggle between this and CO2 as I really want this scenario to see the light of day.

I made the classic mistake of making the map before doing my research on the scenario. I've found that I need to give the airports some space as they were major objectives and there will probably be some fierce scraps for them.

You're welcome. They were fairly easy and quick to do as I'd already done the base map and Paul provided some nicely detailed maps for the hypothetical scenarios.

Thanks. I'm only envisaging one scenario at this stage as the battle was only expecting to last 2 days. It will be a big one though.

I really appreciate you mod guys. Through out the years i've attempted with various games to make maps. I just always fizzle out shortly after starting, as i would rather play than mod.In my small feeble attempts i became aware of the time requirements to do map mods and scenarios for games. We all have life's time constraints and i appreciate the fact you guys spend your free time improving games and my enjoyment of those games through your mods, thanks.

We'll discuss that at the next Development Meeting.

Good Hunting.

Thanks Harry, I was just thinking of your tool, I'll give it a go once I'm ready. I really don't want to do the hexside obstacles again,lol

Status: offline 		I had started on the roads when the thread on hex grid alignment reminded me that that my grid was slightly off. So I saved the map as test and put it into the map values editor where I saw I had to shunt the grid a few pixels to the left and then crop the map a few more. I also found that I had to add half a hex length to the bottom row.This has meant that I had to go back and add more water hexsides and contour layers. So I've cleaned up the mess and now I'm back to where I was with the roads.

Status: offline 		The madness continues. I was not 100% happy with Tempelhof airport still feeling too close to the eastern map edge, as this will probably be one of the major areas of fighting.It's been nagging me every time I look at it, so I've decided now was the time to do it before any more got done to the map.

I've extended the map east again to include more of the Wall. This enables more manoeuvre room for the Pact player to plan for an attack on Tempelhof.It also gives more of the American Sector to defend for the Allied player (and more mapping work for me to do!). I'm pretty happy with this now, I'd like to add more of the French Sector but I think the map is big enough for now.

Here's a screenie of the underlying map template I'm using with the original map shaded in grey.
