thanks Helix for your nice words and support.

if I look at small version, you are right. hm, which size for small map? 840x640?

yes. this was only the first idea. I need also do something with "garrison" symbols...
Industrial Helix wrote:The train connections... I'm wondering if you can do without them. Were they an essential piece of the Slovak uprising? If so, you might do better to put the lower middle diagram on the map if/when you go supersize.
the combat trains were very important, because guerilla had no tanks or another heavy armoured vehicles. these trains were armoured and well armed and very usefull. yes, we can say they were essential piece (and symbols) of uprising...
I think if we will go with supersize the railways could be drawn on the map.
Industrial Helix wrote:As for the guerilla areas, I would block it off completely with the brown impassables and have the one way arrows go over it. Having a normal border there makes the one way attacks less clear.
Speaking of the impassables... you might be better off, in the future, using something like barbed wire.
the brown impassables are mountains. we have realy much mountains in Slovakia and there are bad acceses, therefore when official uprising was supressed by German forces, the guerilla can fight again in these mountains...
maybe I could add barb wire only where are one way assaults?
Industrial Helix wrote:I don't understand the difference between the red circles and black circles... for example, the two Bratislavas. Are the red ones the German military units? You need to distinguish between red and black.
red circles are for regions, black are for towns. something as in Battle for Iraq. German military units (how they marched) is shown where you can have arrows
this is 630x420 version.
