Map: As would design this map?

[Roman]

I want to design a map that appears in the picture. Is access to Sloviank west.
Any suggestions where to start?
The map would have 160 hexes wide (8 km) by 120 height (6 Km). The red box is the perimeter corresponding to the map you want to do.
I have no problem with making roads and people. I suggest that field?
The actual map has a height of 60 meters above sea level with two elevations of approximately 170 m in the upper left corner and bottom right corner.
The map is for a battle or perhaps later a scenario where Ukrainian troops attempt to occupy the west Sloviank access. They should tap Bylvasivka neighborhoods and Krasnoarmiis'ke.
Thanks

You might want to try the downloadable file with instrucions, as a place to get started.

If you like we could collaborate on this project. What are the coordinates from Google Earth? Maybe there are others who would like to give it a try as well.

Thanks friend. I have tried this method only once. I'll try again. But I need a file (hgt) with the exact map, and I do not know how to locate the file.
The coordinates are:
48 ° 50'11 .20 "N, 37 ° 29'0 .67" E
I upload a file from google earth I hope it can serve.
I'm not very good at making scenarios so if anyone wants to take the project, will be welcome, I can learn.

Regards

Since I learned to find the hgt files. They are on this page.

With only Microdem terrain heights is configured. The rest should be done by hand? roads, towns, forests, etc?

Upload a picture of a map made to "hand". No Microdem.

I showed them to map lacks many details, as you have seen.
With Microdem, heights alone.

As it is becoming?
Suggestions?

It is looking good Roman. Question: how did you estimate land elevation, height of hills, and surrounding terrain?

Thanks for the correct address for the SRTMS files, http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/SRTM3/.

The heights I took from google maps. Obviously I made a approximate calculation.
In Google maps height above sea level is taken. To make the map in SP took the lowest level as zero and "eyeball" do heights.
I do not rule out using microdem. Surely I must learn to use it better

Prototype scenario:
A mechanized task force wants to enter Sloviank the west.
Two companies of militia with anti tank and anti air weapons must stop its passage.
questions:
That forces both sides to suggest?
As you see the map?
I accept suggestions


I upload map and scenario
