Jason Petho Wrote:If a 1:200,000 map does not provide enough detail to create a Campaign Series map, doubling the size to make it a "1:100,000" map is still incorrect as the amount of detail still the same as before - a very generalized overview of the area in question.
Okay Mr. Petho, i know you're a professional and your scenarios are highest standard. Great to see you're around! I get your point here, but for me the proper scale is more important regarding the unit levels in relation to the map and the distances, not the amount of details in the first place. Like a village that took a whole battalion to capture should be in EF unable to be captured with a single platoon or company, or the distance between town a and town b shouldnt be travelled in one turn etc. Pardon me when i say at the moment the amount of details is adoptable for me, its still huge *g
I purchased maps from Eastern Germany before in order to make EF maps out of it, 1:50000 but without scanner its hard to make the hexbuilding accurate enough as i want it. So because digital format and using graphics programs is the only way to build an area really lifelike print versions are useless for me. And then i mean the 50000 scale is so high detailed that its impossible to include everything on it in an EF map, just because there are building types or terrain features that the game doesnt represent. The mapper has to generalize here too and a less detailed topography has already done this step for me
That is why i mean a double-sized 1:200000 fits the ef possibilities for me to create the historical battlefield. You are right about the elevation values, but also the less detailed scale includes mountain peaks with exact heights, and i use additional references about the landscape i want to build. I think a high degree of generalization is unavoidable anyway
Okay thanks for your response and info!
