[Christmas 2022 Scenario Challenge]

I thought I’d give map making a try using the CM Normandy editor.  Newb.   I used a (Toum) map from  the “ Panzer Elite” sim as a basis. I was looking to create open arid terrain with bridges crossing a  river near  a  railroad station (objective) . The map ended up 992m width, 1392m height.  This is a first try  at map making, so I’m seeking  advise comment.  Thanks, Glenn

[American Civil War]

The National Park Service and groups like the “Battlefield Trust” have done and continue to do a nice job of preservation.  I live nearby and have walked  the Peach Orchard to Wheat field area over the years and seen improvements. The larger battle has many interesting facets and  stories. 

[CMBO Birthday Greetings!]

Congratulations BattleFront!   Many hrs Ive spent with the Combat Mission series and if you include earlier WGs like Flight Commander-2, Over the Reich and Achtung Spitfire -that still play occassionly-  Oh my where has the time gone! 

 For me CMBO  was a game changer because for the first time it was possible to look around from ground level and  see the war-game's battlefield as a soldier would. The map topography, vegetation,  ground textures, etc were no longer an abstraction. Top down hex-based terrain WG boards were never the same again.   -pag7
