This is really cool! Are you using it for the game Flames of War or something?

Dogtag

That looks great. I especially love the typography.

This is really spectacular. Do you mind sharing your process? Also, I agree with Dogtag, the type face is perfect.

No I just havent seen any maps made with any of the Annuals build for WW II. So I did one. I'm very pleased with it.

I started with Annual CA85 Mapping Guide - World War 2 Area Maps, and did the entire map in that with the exception of the arrows. I started another map (CA57 Mapping Guide - Military Operations) same size as my original, made the arrows in it where I needed them, then did a Copy to Clipboard, then pasted them into my original map where they went... The hardest part was all the text.

That sounds needlessly complicated. You can create arrows in any map (as long as you own that annual in the first place) by just typing WARROWD on the command line.

Good morning Sir,

I am working on a military base in Europe for Art&Craft department.

May I have your permission to use a part of this map for the project of a memory coin ?

Thank you for reading me.

I fear you may be unlucky, Serge, as MadCartographer hasn't been active on the Forum here since October 2023.

When you said Pacific Theater I was expecting a floorplan of that Chinese looking building in Hollywood, Los Angeles!

Awesome map.
