Nice. But I still hate that grainy look.

They didn't change a thing in the Anzio map following my comments, did
they ?

Well, I've just begun working on an Anzio scenario for TOAW-ACoW: I
strongly feel *my* map will be better

BTW, I need the complete aerial OOBs for the battle at Anzio, I have
collected some data, but I still lack exaustive numbers and types of
aircrafts for both sides: could someone help me ?

Don't know really - these screenshots are almost a month old.

Awaiting screenshots to prove this bold claim

I see... I'll patiently wait for the final ones then

Here you are buddy (one hex = 2.5 Km):

GIS software developer ! - no guesses where this "the map must be
accurate" obsession comes from

btw nice screenshot - especially appreciate the fact the timestamp
indicates it was taken after I asked for it - talk about a fresh screenshot

Thanks, but I tended to recreate a good map for a simulation, not just a
precise pne:

1) Area west of Aprilia is made up of "bocage" hexes, which wasn't the
case (light woods with ravines instead)... but it was a difficult
terrain, and the closest thing to it in TOAW is, you guess, "bocage".

2) Some villages were so small I just put their names on the map, not a
"built-up" hex, which would have been bad for the game.

3) Most of the terrain is flat cropland, as it was, but I put the
weather to "heavy precipitation" in order to make it muddy.

4) The pivotal role of Aprilia and Cisterna is now apparent: they
command the objectives of Shingle: National Route 7 and National Route 6
(the black line across Valmontone up North).

5) You may notice the airfield East of Nettuno: some P-40s were
stationed there after the engineers re-activated the old artillery
school airstrip.

6) I have added way too anchorages hexes, but some of them were
makeshift ones and TOAW doesn't differentiate between "light" and
"heavy" anchorages.
