I quicky nitpick I'll throw at you, the flags.... can be better. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing the respective air force roundels, which would be cleaner and by far easier to draw.

Thats not a nit pick. That is a bloody good idea.

Any suggestion on positioning?

about the landing points arrows
as you are in b/w now I think they should have a larger head
at the moment some are barely legible
De gueules à la tour d'argent ouverte, crénelée de trois pièces, sommée d'un donjon ajouré, crénelé de deux pièces
Gules an open tower silver, crenellated three parts, topped by a apertured turret, crenellated two parts

pamoa, will have a look at them when I fit in the new flags. I will say that the arrows are very minor part of the map, for a reason and they do work.

Is it possible to have the alien spaceship that was seen by the old crone by the hill actually move in full coloured animation from left to right as it was authentically verified by the priest on the Conquerer just before it submerged for the 14th time??

Seriously, good work!

The plane icons have changed. Looked at the arrows and did not like the larger heads. Even a 1 pixel size up looked bad on the small so they stay as they are. Players will know what they are straight out.

British symbol is fine but the Argentinian gets lost in the background.

Lowered the contrast on the background.

Always like to have a slight joke on the maps but can always change it back to the Argile for you.

Here they are. It was the Ardent, not Argile. Changed the names in the xml and ran through checker to make sure I got them all.

One thing, not sure if I already mentioned this, but can you make the argentina flag under the helicopter more visible? It kinda gets lost as the background colour is so similar to it... Whereas the british flag has a clear contrast to it's background and is very visible.

Sorry but you didn't do enough, the british flag has a clear contrast to it's background, while the argentina flag doesn't.

Maybe you can change the colour of the argentina background somewhat.

Would it cause a problem if I made it the same as the British side?

Well that's not probably such a good idea. How about making it a reddish colour?

Red is more of a British colour. As for making it the same as the British, the planes and numbers should remove any confusion and it would make sense to have the control panel one colour.Here are three options. Choose one then I will do the small.
