I doubt if all the default maps are oriented North and South ..... but it was just me thinking out loud about twisting the map to try and get it all in....... now I see that I'm going to have to split it into two maps...North and South

I don't think that twisting the map is a problem. Most maps in real life don't have north exactly at the top (magnetic variation). It wont affect navigation because this is done relative to the game map.

If you split the map into two I still think it will be worth having "compatible" map edges so that it may be possible to merge the two halves when they are completed.

-- Ignore my earlier map edge comment. Your map won't have Imphal as close to the map edge as the existing Burma map.
