Hello all, just a short update showing progress with the map.
The first shot shows the ed_m02 showing the borders and neighbouring countries as they are today.
The text for Laos and Thailand is not shown in this shot but appears above French Indochina.
I've made all the rivers wide enough so they are all navigatable, not strictly accurate but essential
for anyone building a campaign for the map as it allows all the vessels in the FMB to be utilised,
especialy all the smaller craft such as the fishing vessels and torpedo boats.
I am still in the process of leveling the rivers so nothing appears to be up in the air, a very tedious process.
In the following two shots you see a Carrier heading up the river from the sea to Saigon, an airfield in the background.
In these shots a freighter winds its way from the sea to the end of a river in the
upper part of the map near to what is Da Nang.
Progress is slow at the moment, tried adding roads in ther same way as the rivers by painting them
but they end up in all sorts of odd places so I may have to do this the hard way in the map builder.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
