To be honest I really don't think that you need to add them in. Just my $0.02 worth.

You guns are pointing the wrong way. Make the artillery face the centre territ it can hit.

So...
AC1-Fox 8
AC2-Fox 11
GC1-Fox 3
GC2-Fox 5

Next to S2, is that a horse because it looks like a dead cat. ;)

On the subject of the map... T'would have been nice to add those lil guys to the airfields, but eh, probably ends up being better not being there.

Something has been bugging me though, you know what it is, it's the dotted lines. They are a lil too simple. Could you try ditching them and do something like a worn foot path?

And for uniformity, brick trench tops around both the airfields, or not, not one each. I'd suggest without the bricks on both sides.

About the dotted lines, I think they need to be simple, thers many details already in NM land and adding more deatails will disguise/confuse the now clear picture of atack ways.
I get the idea of a foot path, but there was not any path through NM land, it was mud and dirt all over.

The airfields, its sandbags, not briks ;) and your rigth, I already had the thought that it looks to clean on the ally side, they will be removed so its more simmilar to the german side.

I think it would be good enough just to shape the lines a bit more organicly... instead of just straight lines.

Agree with this, also make them a dark brown instead of black. That might be a good compromise between you and RedBaron0. If you space them out some more, you should be able to get a double line like footprints.
