What's a Greenhorn General to do?

This makes me think that scenarios should come with a pair of maps -- one zoomed out with the counters turned off, and one a thumbnail with everything turned on (and everything but the thumbnail trimmed out).

Perhaps this is an addition for a future round of Volcano Man mods: a map section folder, with folders for each scenario with two maps in each that would be available to both sides. Not as horrendous to make as it sounds since default and _alt scenarios wouldn't need their own maps.

I've noticed that the thumbail view seems to to be a condensed version of the zoomed-out view (in the Total War in Europe series at least), so as long as you don't use the HPS zoomed-out graphics these maps should be quite instructive (perhaps too instructive).

I'm not volunteering. My hands are pretty full at the moment and there are people around who like taking screenshots of large maps.
