Thank you! :)

Perhaps it's too late to put it to use in a scenario...but I thought I'd send you something while I continue my work on other projects. Hope you like it. :)

I just stayed up late the night you posted them and put that map together...and then tweaked it yesterday before I sent it out to you.

So, you have everything I used except some smaller maps I have in a couple of my books....and those didn't have as much detail as the color one you posted.

Would appreciate it. It would be nice to see what someone else made of it. (read: Someone with a bit more map-making experience than us :D)
Can you post the map right here on the forum? If not you can send it to me, [email]derc0@hotmail.com[/email]

Other Maps of Finland in Progress... - 8/18/2002 9:06:42 PM

Status: offline 		I have two other maps in progress that cover Finland as well...

1. Tolvajärvi
2. Kelja

The Kelja map is being created for Redleg to use in a scenario he's worked on before covering the battle there in late December of 39'

The Tolvajärvi map will be released to OKW for his website. Both of these are side jobs I work on when not creating maps for M4 Jess...or to take a break from the Berlin map from time to time. ;)

Let me know what you guys think of the Suomussalmi map...I tried to use a scale that I worked on for Jess's D-day scenario...so as to allow players to cover a large segment of the area. As such, things may not be in perfect position but close enough I think. ;)

I think its pretty d*mn good map :) Only one thing that does stick to my eye is that you write "Lake Tolvajarvi", i would write it "Lake Tolva" or "Tolva Lake" because "jarvi" part means lake in finnish language, im not sure if my way is 100% right but thats how i feel it ;)

Status: offline 		That is what I thought too...but figured I'd let you correct it for sure.
After a while I stopped putting "lake" in front of labels after I used my Finnish Translator to try and figure out certain words. :D :D
Like I said...feel free to edit them to make them as correct as possible. So much the better. ;)

Status: offline 		Err... now I'm not sure, but is north located in the right edge of Orzels map?
I remember that Haukiperä is south from Suomussalmi. If it is meant to be looked "from" east to west in y-axel then it's ok...
Anyway, it's great looking map, covering a BIG area of Suomussalmis surroundings.

So north is to the right...and east is to the bottom.
