The font is looking better. How well do the coordinates fit in the army shadows, and is everything too crazy for the eye? Lets see.

text looks a lot better. and I don't think the colors are too jarring; they just need to be noticeably different, and they are. nice job, qwert.

These is joke right ;)
Can we be serious-you very good know that its quit imposible to put 3 digit and to not overlap with names and other Numbers. Every body can se that these map dont have space to all these fit. Even name can not stay in terittories and i must create shortcut,expecialy for Sigfried Defence. 2 digit can fit good,but 3 digit can also fit but will overlap with names and other numbers,but i can do nothing with these.

There seems to be plenty of space for triple digits to me. You've done a good job with that version above.


If you were to use numbers instead of names it'd be that much easier.


I would say it's definitely possible. It's a question of whether you want to do it or not.

I think you have to make the font in the legend bigger, at least I can't read where it says "hold any three stars".

You want to tell that 3 digit can fit on map and to not touch each other?

Some of your overlapping may be solved by a better placement of army shadows. I.E. ...perhaps move Vichy's army shadow where the text currently is, and the text where the shadow is. Look for more areas like that.

Exactly!

Also, if the names of territories were just numbers you'd have a lot easier time with spacing.

Edbeard you have map without army circle and names,can you show me,i realy need help with these,because i dont belive that these can stay and to not overlap with Names and other Army numbers.
Expecialy terittories who have small space and where you can not move circles.
All Western Germany and Sigfried Defence(If you see Sigfried Defence its have only First Letter(Similar to you sugestion with Numbers)And you can not replace Army Circles because there is no space to put in some other place.I know that its easy to say "Put Vichy here and here" but its hard to say"Put Ardennes Circle to somwhere,and put Ruhr pocket to....I dont know where,hmm and you can put Field marshal Model also.....somwhere".
You have plenty terittories where you dont have free space and where you can not move Army Circles-and where names change in Numbers will no influence on army circles.
But like i say in start you have map clear of Names and Circles,and i will =D> to you or to some other map maker who will manage to create map with circles and names where 3 digit number fit and not overlap. I can give even reward,Signature in these map(not so big reward)
