Bearcat, there seems to be some sort of size limit (in pixels?) to the maps in the IL2 engine- I think the Slot is almost at the maximum size possible (not 100% sure of this though). If a map like Italy/Greece/North Africa is made full-scale, it probably won't work, hence the scale reduction. At full scale, it covers a much larger area than the Slot.
I think that the Italy/Greece/North Africa map MIGHT have been made to a larger scale, perhaps 1:2, but its current size is chosen by the makers and perhaps it is the maximum size possible if the current territory was to be included. In principle the mapmaking tools can handle larger maps, but what's the point of making a larger map if IL2 can't run it?
