New Map in Progress - Dakar 1940
#1

Here are a few screenshots of a new map that is nearing completion over the next days: Dakar 1940.

It is an out-of-the-way map of a forgotten campaign that took place in September 1940, when British and Free French forces tried to wrest control of the port of Dakar from Vichy French authorities.

The British and Free French used naval forces, which allows for aircraft carrier enthusiasts to do some serious planning and flying. And with Vichy French aircraft in the game, it also gives scope to use some of those colorful skins that Vichy planes sported.

The map itself is relatively simple, not mountainous or even hilly. But it does contain not only scrub desert, but also greener areas to the south. There are few large cities, one only actually, which is Dakar itself. It has a European city and port and an African city as well.

For this and for the other villages and towns spread throughout the landscape, you will need the dlv Egypt objects mod - but it is worth installing as it installs the right atmosphere for this map.

Here are some screenshots.
