map error? - phoenix - 05-04-2018 Query for Bill: whilst playing Aldenhoven H2H I looked at the area on google earth and read about it - is it possible you've missed a VERY large forest that would have been there - the Hambach? Wikipedia says it was 12,000 years old, until it was cut down between 1979 and present day, so not much is left now - but it took up the entire space now occupied by a vast open-cast lignite mine. Take a look on google earth - you can't miss it (see image attached). And search Hambach Forest on Wikipedia. You have fields on the map instead. [attachment=4612] And the wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hambach_Forest RE: map error? - Sgt_Rock - 05-15-2018 (05-04-2018, 06:43 AM)phoenix Wrote: Query for Bill: whilst playing Aldenhoven H2H I looked at the area on google earth and read about it - is it possible you've missed a VERY large forest that would have been there - the Hambach?

Not always possible to find period maps when I was creating the maps. This one got missed. At present I am homeless and cannot update the maps. Send this along to Rich Hamilton please. I am using a tablet or phone to access these forums. |
