Progress on New Clipboard Maps
« on: August 29, 2016, 08:31:48 PM »
I have the town (for all 3 field sizes), the port, the two gv bases, and the small and medium air bases done.  I'm working on the large base now.  I'm going to do a quick run through all of them Wednesday morning, to check consistency, and then post them here.  I'll work on the strats starting this weekend.

Have I missed it?  Has HTC posted when they are going to have the maps for the fields and such on the clipboard?

That's great Jinx, a lot of hard work that will be appreciated.
Now as just a suggested addon to these maps .......
Could you indicate where in the towns we would likely find your T34 hiding in ambush ?

That would be great man.   :neener:

Here are the latest. 

Large Airfield:



Town



Port



Large V Base



Small V base



I have to go back and do a little work on the small and medium fields, but it shouldn't take me long.  Also, I'm told that these maps might be rolled out in the final build package, but without the highlight colors and bomb runs, and possibly without the gun pit numbers.  So I'm posting the highlighted maps, but the plain maps will be standard in the game.

And looking at the town map, I'm going to go back and clean up the gun pit table.  Looks sloppy.

I didn't see any street signs.  Also, I missed the mega field and large town.  I have to do them as well.

Jinx,   Your work looks awesome.  If you look in the Clipboard and Printable Maps topic, I posted my printable maps.  I have every object labeled with downtime #s for the x-large base and town.  If you haven't done the "destroy each object" job on the x-large base and town, it should save you a lot of time.  I know, because that is what I did and I kept thinking: "Mother of God, when does this end?".

Again, outstanding job on the blue-line maps.
