How would you measure popularity? AK for example was abandoned long time ago Obviously this is a matter of habit - I started with the original Panzer General 2, then I discovered the von Adler site, even before Open General, and for the AK's-file file there was the largest number of scenarios /camp...

Hello! I've got two questions :) 1) Where are the new (historical, WWII era) scenarios? I mean - detailed with real unit names, like those scenarios that Hannes Gruber, Stephen deJong or Sapper1_6 did??? Мaybe everyone has already lost interest in individual scenarios and switched to campaigns? or a...

The last one is extended version of 1525 map - I added some southern and eastern cities.

Thanks a lot for the grid! I just didn't notice it at the first time))) I prepared it myself from a SUITE screenshot, then enlarged it in photoshop. LOL! That's what I've tried to do once, but I didn't like the final result and I delete it. So big thanks again.And for the link too...)) And one quest...

Nowadays i try to reduce the number of layers as much as possible. For example for the Stalingrad map i have around 20 layers of overlapping city parts for Stalingrad in one folder. But all other villages and cities are in one and the same layer. I think that there is no universal solution. About a...

I either cut out the parts of a river i need from the png map files or i take rivers or parts of rivers from the river layers in my photoshop map files. For example for the Stalingrad map i used rivers or parts of rivers from my maps Nikolaev, Melitopol, Beryansk, Taganrog and the Perekop Isthmus m...

The 1566 mapx file is missing at mapfinder. Hmmm, sad but true. And i dunno why :dunno 'cause I've opened mail and I've got all the files as attached and sent. Anyway I sent the map again. By the way,how do you managed with rivers? For any other elements of map, I've got a file called 'Template' wh...

Missing???? Are you sure???? I sent it...Please tell me if smth wrong with files Do you use your own efile? Yes. I use my own.It based on von Adler file, but i've made some more or less serious changes. First i wanted re-arrange the units in strict order :) Here's a german section, and first go infa...

I think it is better to continue in this thread as the other one for the announcements of finished/uploaded maps. Sure!!! Sorry, i don't understand which map you refer too? The SSI map no. 41 with the bridges? No, I thought that you talk about your latest map. )) Wow, that is an impressive map! Oh,...

Then i have everything correct with the railways and the ferry stations (port hex) And left current map as 'modern' version :) One thing my map misses is the Tatar Wall, but i just could not create a good looking Wall on the map and so i dismissed it I think it's not a problem at all. I puzzled for...

was also confused about the railway loop north of Orlovka. Most maps show it, but not all. Next question is, if there was a rail ferry or not. I put in on the map because i think it is better to have the options in a scenario. I also put the Beketovka air base on the map to have more options for an...

Yeah, we can play the whole attack on Stalingrad now, from the crossing of the Don in the northwest onwards while the other forces come from the very south. I will also create a winter map of the very same map section for the Stalingrad pocket scenarios. Btw, there is the jpg at mapfinder only. The...

Number: 1541 Name: Pereslavl-Kholmsky There is a little error in the mapx file. When i load the mapx file in Suite the map picture is not found and it asks for "fx_pereyaslavl". Of course i can choose the map picture "1541" instead and it works then. Oh, no! stupid me :bonk :sho...

New map(s) Abganerovo - finished There are three variants of one map - summer, winter and mud. "Summer map" Map Number: - 1543 Map Name : Abganerovo_ S Location: Russia Period: WW2 Region: - Volgograd Oblast Map size : 3350 x 2000 pixels "Winter map" Map Number: - 1544 Map Name: ...

The new map is finished - Pereslavl-Kholmsky. It is fictional, although the names of cities, villages and rivers on it are stylized in Russian, so it can be used for any scenario of the Eastern Front, especially Central Russia. Number: 1541 Name: Pereslavl-Kholmsky Location: Russia Period: WWII Map ...

A new, winter map. It fits almost ideally for winter 1943 Soviet/German scenario, e.g. Operation Gallop - the liberation of Donets Basin (Donbass) region.

I, personally dream of one thing in OG - it's my biggest dream - the ability of ungerstrenght/reduce the unit's strength. Units with strength 5-6-7-8 were in SSI stock scenarios, and then widely used in some great user scenarios for engeineers, recons, heavy tanks etc. Of course, I can do it manuall...

Thanks a lot!

(I recommend to round off your map sizes to a whole hex. Example, instead of 3065x1136, choose 3150x1150. But that is just my feeling ;) ) Hmmm, I think maybe it's a solution of the problem - sometimes, map objects - cities, airfields etc, has a little offset from a hех grid...in other words the ar...

- Stalingrad Pocket Pocket of Minsk Tilsit Map Siauliai Map Supported. Stalingrad could even be XXL for a :monster scenario and/or 2-4 scenarios on this map for a Stalingrad Minicampaign (as standalone or within a bigger project). The tricky part about Stalingrad is however: a winterized version wo...
