Well, unfortunately, now that I know more inside information the current stand is that all maps outside the size restrictions are not going to make it out of the foundry. In fact we are going to keep maps outside the guidelines in Map Ideas until a future time when we may support 'super size maps'. I know that sucks, but that's all I can really say at the moment. I'd recommend focusing on your other maps for a while and then coming back to this after we (the moderators and site operators) have all agreed on how we want to handle the idea of super size maps. Your chances are probably much better once(if) Western Front is quenched.

MBRand in England cannot be bombarded and so with 2 final players there might be a risk of a deadlocked game.
The stronger player dominating the continent and bombarding the English coast areas..but NOT "M Brand" in the middle.

I know what Vichy meant..but it means nothing for gameplay (did Vichy yield troops or resources for Allies or Axis ?..answer: no. dont forget that Germany decided to invade it only lateron and then felt free to "exploit" that area). At best you could compare it with neutral Sweden ( that did do business with germany: Steel).
Anyway in 1944 (at time of battles in france) there was no independent Vichy area.


Anyway, just ressort to departement/province/area names that comes closest to the area that you sliced on the map.
The simplest is to call something "east-France" or "SW-Bulgaria" or "North-Belorussia".. :roll:

England should be able to be invaded...or else there could be no total victory possible with One player on the continent and the other stuck in England.

I repeat again (with fellow critics) please change provinces/areas to how it was tactically perceived in those days.
So look at difficult crossable terrain (major rivers, fortified defense lines, mountain ranges = impassable borders)on one hand (which means many small zones) and fast paced open terrains on the other hand (larger zones where Germans in 1940 and allies in 1944 moved like lightning, and forget about political motivated areas (Vichy ? what 's the point of using that ?) and army commander areas (it just makes no sense to combine that in one map).
That would make it better gameplay than it is now.

I spend so many hours in researching and i can not find some others solution for these provinces,if you can find better please give me. Vichy?You realy dont know for these political state during WWII?

Victory conditions can be set so that owning everything except Britain results in victory, but I believe qwert planed on handling the bombardments for Britain similar to Western Front, where all 3 spots are targets.

Anyway, the only downside of the victory condition would be that you'd need to wipe out all the neutral territories, which in 1v1 could turn out very very annoying.

Not everyone wants to play everything on a massive map. Each front by itself has it's own game play mechanics. Having the two smaller maps and this major one should also promote some interesting themed tournaments.[/quote]

So, a ton of people do. Besides there is an Eastern Front, Almost a Western Front, and maybe a Central Front. Merge them all together with differnent rules, borders,etc. This map will be amazing!

This map is amazing...

I dont understand why the guidelines are so strict, it seems more like stubbornness than logic to me.

Well i must say that these map almost fulfill criteria for large map(800x600) mine is 850x500.
Problem is small map,and everybody know that these map can not be smaller then 850x500.

Just so you know. When we add categories (which we will have to eventually, we can't just reasonably throw 80 maps in someones face and expect them to know what might suit them) the likelihood of allowing this will increase. Right now it is rather bleak.

I'd still encourage thinking of other projects first. It is not my intent to string you along with false hopes, we may never be able to let this map in, but I hope we will eventually.

Well you know that these map present Two mine previos map-WWII EASTERN FRONT and WWII WESTERN FRONT(Future map).
Combination of two or three map who have been quenched and who can be conected to be one big map is good reason for all future Big maps.
Also i dont have any new project,because creating Historical WWII maps is very long process,and i think that for now 3 maps(i hope WWII EUROPE) its final number,and some new map creator can have free theme from WWII to create insted me(i have idea to create Ardennes operation,Operation Market Garden,Invasion of Normandy,maybe North Africa Campaign,but these will be to much for me).
So i will waith and hope to decision been positive for these map.
