Perhaps there's another shape you can use to represent a town with a garrison. The circle inside the square makes me wonder if it's just a town with a train station. Trnava confused me most in the German 1-way section, because the same symbol is not used on them map as on the assault route.

To get the bonus for holding regions, do you need to hold both the red and black in each region to make it valid?
shakeycat wrote:The flag in the centre helps tie us to the B. Bystrica mini-map - perhaps something similar could help us with the German 1-ways? Or you could draw in faded/dashed lines of attack on the map to show each one (something like Northwest passage, but less in-your-face).

Industrial Helix wrote:The one way routes to the lower right should use arrows instead of dots.
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.
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.
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.
Industrial Helix wrote:It's look better and better...
Industrial Helix wrote:are the train stations in the lower middle separate territories from the same named territories on the map?
Industrial Helix wrote:Also, i don't understand what you mean by disaffect garrison. Does that mean they weren't affected by the uprising?

I am glad that you (both) feel what was my goal where are you from? it shows Canada now...Dukasaur wrote:About the only thing I would say is that the little yellow dotted lines for the railroad will be very hard to see for old farts like me with bad eyes. I would make big thick yellow lines there, with a diameter at least 1/2 of the diameter of the train station boxes.
Same thing with the one-way arrows... bigger and bolder.
there is needed some edits. will see what I can do for you.Dukasaur wrote:Some of the wording is a bit clumsy, but there's plenty of time to play with that.
Industrial Helix wrote:Hmm... its a little crowded, but I think its better than off train maps.
Industrial Helix wrote:Is there any way you can expand the size of the green region and give everything a little more room to fit? I mean, it would skew the geography a little, but it would improve the readability.
Industrial Helix wrote:Also, is this similar to Baltic Crusades where the cities and stations are within the regions?
