Default Map Database

Has anyone done one?
If so can you send me as just starting one & will speed up also anyone with maps post a link here if you like & will add.

Doing for both games in excel as can get free readers fields thought of so far for easy searching in no particular order.
map no (plus MBT or WW2)
name
height
width
region (as in country)
theatre (as in area i.e. Asia, Central Europe)
Terrain 3 fields ( My idea of as in open, farmland, jungle, urban, hills, dessert, bad (mud rough swamps), water (river, beach island))
Winter
M, D>, D< ( My idea of type of random engagement good for meeting or defend.
PBEM (my idea of balance for PBEM only rating if seems good then you lot can argue modify)

Any other suggestions but this should allow sorting for say size of map country theatre terrain type or size meeting type PBEM

Note this is a long way off just started when I thought some one might have done already.
Eventual aim is to put all maps in one folder sorted by Theatre Size perhaps Terrain Type so finding a suitable map is faster.

Good idea. I started working on something like this for Scenarios/Campaigns but it would have been an online searchable database.

This way lets people tinker with it as they feel fit convert to whatever datadase they are happy with & probably arrange search criteria better than a web based version.

The one I was working on was MySQL based and would allow users to manipulate it and export it to the format of their choice for download.

Online also allows those interested to contribute, sort of like a wiki where you have to sign up and be approved to be able to edit (to keep changes from being made by passer bys). I think I deleted what I had up so before from my site, maybe I'll put it back up and see if there is any interest. If I had any php skills I would love to see something like this by for WinSP;

Nice good game to.
Considered doing scenerios but tend to be one shot plays & to give any idea of balance or whatever I would have to play them all. Actually could do reasonably quickly using Scenhack for basics sides date etc.

I have no web skills will do WW2 & send you if like more than happy for you to adapt as see fit & give nice presentation. Just thought it was time to give something back as taken / learned quite a bit from this little community. Also knowing me probably hacked a few people off in the process but hey no brain surgeon so life motto help or make more people smile than the reverse. Then if there does happen to be someone in charge I might get to have a go at him it about there missmanagement of the whole affair.

It wouldn't need to be as comprehensive as the ASL one but something along those lines I think would be well worth the effort.
