world war 2 maps
Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2010 2:44 amthese are just ideas i am not making any maps but hopefully someone who has skills can if they want. there is currently western front, eastern front but the other few are rather specific to battles such as iwo jima and pearl harbour.
i was thinking it would be cool to have maps for the other main theaters of war not just specific battles, somewhere i read someone asking why southern italy wasnt included in western front. well the north africa and italy campaign in the south was quite a different theater to the western front,
when talking about western front it is generally the campaign starting from d-day through france and belgium into germany, the north africa campaign was fought by british through egypt and americans in the west cornering the germans into tunisia (or somewhere near there i think) then they continued and landed on sicily then onto italy through anzio and includes monte cassino (battle? or campaign?) and rome.
this could be its own map i think, in terms of area and potential gameplay tactics and stratigising, i think this may be a good addition to western and eastern front style maps. the way i am currently picturing it, it could be very similar to those 2 maps in gameplay and graphics, the style of drawing and colours and similar number of terretories and bonuses etc, but of course all up to the person who makes it if they do.
some other ideas also on the same theme and style include but are not limited to, the balkans an often overlooked area including the mediterainean islands and greece and those countries i dont know enough history to explain this area but could make a good map,
another is the pacific theater, the australia ww2 map includes png and the southern islands but this map could actually be the whole pacific theater including midway, iwo jima, okinawa, pearl harbour, guadalcanal, the phillipines and stuff, island hopping could be fun and require good strategies,
and also southeast asia, including myanmar and the british armies there and singapore and hong kong and east china and stuff. currently eastern and western front maps are combined in world war 2 map, potentially if someone made these ideas someone could combine all these maps into one which would be the whole of world war 2 every theater of war, that would take a lot of effort though certainly i could not do it, but good luck anyone who tries. man that would be like axis and allies!
