A lot of times the maps themselves are larger than some of the individual scenarios (and those end up using portions of a larger map). So it may assist someone in deciding if they want to create a scenario -as to what type of space they would have to work with.

I suppose as well, that they end up showing the casual viewer, what the topic might be about; sort of along the lines of say -it is a starting point, but like having a board wargame without a box back featuring some of the components. I don't necessarily know, specifically what all anyone uses them for -but I do think it can also give guys an idea about where they might be fighting if they haven't ever played a certain scenario.

And finally, it might (I say might, as I can't answer for anyone other than myself- but it does do this for me), give modders an idea for where and what they have to work with -in terms of context.

That, plus it also gives me something more than the Press Kit material, to show on pages for the titles - and since I have been on a roll doing them -and it is different from what JTS/HPS provides in a lot of cases ( but not all ), it is probably the least I can do, personally, right away...

-All that being said - it leads to the actual purpose of my post:

I did get done with (most - I left off the generic maps for now -and there are several- like 5 or 6 -I will get to them later), the revamped page (I'll get to them all -I swear it) for: Red Victory.
