Another map ready, but i will be cruel and not show it to you for some time, so that you'd be surprised in the Silver Lions II campaign

Thats fair enough may I suggest as they are covering the same area you release them all together as a pack. Also put orientation on as rotated the 2nd map a little North in a bottom corner.
From a user point of view the 2nd larger map has many more uses as for generated battles you cannot set the start line but you can just use part of the map to adjust it & make it more balanced for the meeting type you want. Means I can play on your maps more often which is a good thing.

Kinda hoping you two have a good little partnership going on here & look forward to more. Thanks in advance to both of you for your time & commitment giving the rest of us something fun to play with.

Got the map. Should be using sections of it for about 3-4 scenarios.

Its definitely working well at least for me.

Map making is the hard part for me so I frequently use the auto-generator to get the base map and then edit from there so it kinda looks good. This means the maps are not representative of any actual terrain and I usually just make up town names to flesh out the briefing texts. With Mareck's maps I can make a better story, with matching maps and more flowing terrain of actual areas the battles are being fought over.

Another map is already in works, this time you may look forward to a city

And have to say that I enjoy the map-making much more if I know that they are to play role in a campaign

So yes, it is working for me as well

Another one bites the dust! Just finished a 140x200 map of a regional center - ca. 23 thousands of inhabitants

Again, as I posted before, Double_Deuce gets it first and you later. Hope you won't mind

Have to admit I am looking forward to this campaign

Decided to tease y'all a little bit, so here is a preview of the map I am corrently working on. Eisenstein Pass, borders between Czech Republic (or, for SLII campaign, Czechoslovakia) and Germany (Bayern). Definitely tank-unfriendly country - relatively lots of roads on both sides of the border (marked by *) but inaccessible terrain... Mmm, few mines would cause fun, as well as few ambush parties with RPGs or Panzerfausts

Marek_Tucan · #29 March 14th, 2009, 01:19 PM

Okay, so that map is ready. That means that just one or two maps for the SLII campaign remain to be done...Covering the entire height of a 1:50000 touristic map of the area

Preview of another map, that will be likely ready this evening. Just one more to go after that and the Silver Lions map pack will be complete! (Unless I decide to make few more "off-game" maps

)
