I believe you’re getting very close to as good as the WPP map can be modded.
At least without completely re-drawing terrain images etc.

Very well done indeed & thanks a LOT!

I dropped the logistics convoy route hex back to only a dot, so as not to obscure the sea shades showing depth, to see what it would look like.

It is OK on moderate zoom, but not so easy to see on the full expanded map.

Status: offline 		Also tried blending the new land tiles with the older Retro sea hexes and the convoy route hexes toned down a bit, which works well with the low contrast unit counters that I am using.

Thanks again for the great work.

Status: offline 		Thanks Rasp.,
You've been a long time supporter, and have always appreciated the feedback across a few games now.
Very cool that everyone is able to mix, match and tweak to come up with a style that suits them.

I've been thinking about why I went with such a light ocean graphic...
And perhaps it's because unlike European theatre, where the emphasis is on lighter map mods, the ocean is a secondary theatre of operations.
Whereas in a pacific context, much of this game is played on water.
(maybe overthinking it).

(also great to see Ash Barty win the big plate last night).

One question, did you release your resource.png? I couldn't find it in the thread, so perhaps I missed it.

I thouht this mod had been dead and buried, never too sure how successful it is (never see it in an aar for example).
From memory I just ended up grabbing one of Uxbridge's I think.
I got tired of making city tiles and numbers... but some of the toaw 4 mods piqued my interest.
I'll dig up the file and see how far I got with it.
The resource.png can create big aesthetic change to the map, did you have a particular boardgame you wanted to match to? Happy to take a look.

Not dead for me, as your work is the 'go-to' map mod.

The board-game look is just perfect and I would like to post an AAR using this mod, when life allows.

Also gives a hint of Uxbridge's resource file. Which sits nicely on the map.
(I also use his terrain file, but I tweaked the swamp to be more cartographic).

Status: offline 		No it's not dead, I've been playing the Chinese 1937 scenario with your map and it really makes me feel like I'm playing on a old school paper map with counters. I'm going back and forth between WP and WPP and no matter what I keep using your map, it is so clean and enjoyable. I need to try your counters mod, I'm kinda trying all of them and seeing what works best, too many great options, I can't decide.

As far as the resource.png, the one you made to match your map for the original WP looked great, I was curious if you could just make it work with WPP?
