MC/PC.. A plea for map addition

[Glenn Saunders]

When you come right down to it - the whole lengthy thread is rather pointless in my opinion.

So the Sicily has Highway numbers on it that some people like - great. That doesn't set any precedence to redo or add to existing maps for other games. The fact is, the Sicily source map had these highway numbers on it so it was a detail that Blackie could see and add without any trouble. Other maps Blackie and I used when making the games are a different period source and don't have them.

But I think the example game being discussed is Danube or the Modern Battles in Germany. These maps are made from an AIR CHART source and do NOT have Highway numbers marked on them. And frankly even if they did there is no point going back over and redoing these maps with the highway numbers because HirooOnoda makes "a plea for a Map addition" that he didn't know at the start he can do himself if he wants to or cares to take the time to do.

If he or anyone else what to add labels to the maps I will be happy to post them for all to download and provide a place where they can explain what they have done and why it is so vital or such an improvement in the game that everyone should download them.

In the meantime, every hex is numbered so you can say:

fr xxx,yyy to xxx,yyy

where xxx,yyy = your hex number
Doesn't sound as cool as "Highway 241 to Franfurt", but it is every bit as effective - more so if you consider there is a Hex ID look up in the game menus.
