As I could not find many maps I wanted, I have created some 
I will present them here - together with any others you own we can create here a library for players.

First: a slight remake of Betio Map. Convertible with free hexes for any scenario with airfield (try Crete 1941 or Norway 1940).

Second: modification of base maps with railroads. Can be used for partisan actions, attack on supply convoys, for strategic points in the campaign etc.

| Shouldn't this thread be in one of the AAM forums, instead of a WaS forum? |

I am still searching for Winter maps, quite difficult to make; a conversion from Steel Panthers has very poor quality. But I am working on it (probably of winter satellite map divided on hexes).
We have created some separate hexes to add on your maps, see the Hexes & Counters Guide. I will post these hexes here only if you wish, otherwise you should be able to save them from that MS Word document in original size (when you stretch the hex icon, that's why the file has nearly 4 Mb 8) ).
+ 2 City maps with rivers and factories and some other still in workshop.

Nice job on the maps and extra hex tiles. I'll have to download them and incorporate them into my next game.
I especially like the the airstrip map.

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you for those railroad hexes!! I just purchased some Micro Machines train pieces to represent a Polish armoured train, to use with Sharpe's HHR cards. These will work beautifully!!! |

Windows  + I am using PSP 9.0 for drawing, but simple IrfanView could do the job as well. .Jpg format is blurring the images, .gif has 256 colors only ... if you know any other good format, tell me.

.jpg doesnt have to blur the image. In the save as jpg properties choose max quality. then it's like png and much smaller in size.
I use png only for transparent images, such as many of the sigs I make in this forum, because .gif is terrible with its 256 color limit. The problem is that many still have old browsers and don't view .png files properly. E.g. on i.e. 6, a transparent part in a .png would appear black.

First, monumental map of
Prague 1945
***
Prague 5-11 May 1945
Experimental photo-realistic map. 2,6 Mb in .jpg format, 6 lists, for large battles.
Background: (from Wikipedia)
The Prague Uprising was an attempt by the Czech resistance to liberate the city of Prague from German occupation during World War II. Events began on May 5, 1945. The uprising went on until May 8, 1945. Roughly 1,700 Czech insurgents died during the fighting.
The Prague Offensive was the last major battle of World War II in Europe. The battle for Prague was fought on the Eastern Front from May 6 to May 11, 1945. This battle is particularly noteworthy in that it ended after Third Reich capitulated on May 8, 1945.
The city of Prague was ultimately liberated by the Soviets during the Prague Offensive. All of the German troops of Army Group Centre (Heeresgruppe Mitte) were killed, captured, or fell into the hands of the enemy after the capitulation. The capitulation of Army Group Centre was nine days after the fall of Berlin and three days after Victory in Europe Day.
