I see the graphics mod has been incorporated into the official product (even if the store page seems to show the old graphics...)

Being based on modern maps, the mod did include significant chunks of the Netherlands that didn't exist in 1940/43 - the two Flevolands weren't reclaimed from the sea at the time, and Noordoostpolder wasn't there in 1940 either.

Was this fixed or do people who know what the Netherlands looked like then wince when they play the game?

(I wasn't convinced by the size of some of the cities being 1940s accurate either, but to me, that's not so bad.)

All of the original artwork comes with the latest patches so you can load that map if that helps. Now that map makes me wince.

OK the Flevolands have been flooded for the patch. Noordoostpolder seems to have existed in the '40s in some shape or form.

Anyway we can keep working on these types of things for the next patch if you let us know.

Simo, played the tutorial, easy, the one thing I notice in the windx program is that the mouse moves very quickly. It's also difficult to find the specific cities, I was wondering if I am missing anything. My map looks like the one above. Thanks

You probably answered these yourself by now, but you can slow the map scroll speed in "Options".
You can get a list of Cities and more info using the "Targets" menu. Note that you can also select the Primary Target for a raid using the "Targets" menu in the Planning Phase. This is also a great way to filter out other target types on the map.
