Plan B should be bonus 2, and find a way to fix the Plan A and Plan B being held together with only 2 countries to defend from.

well you can also have a bonus of 10 only protecting 4 territories.

I'm not sure if this is good or bad. I think it might be fine because these are the 'easy' to hold areas, so getting these places will be a priority for everyone.

if the black is gone when you look at the map you see just the map on the screen without the nasty looking black. at least try it. it will be better.

The only thing that I don't like is the font. It looks too modern for such an old map.

America has always been a bit industrial, and as new age as we'd like to pretend to be a lot of things still look the same today they did back then. I guess it's about perspective. Anyway, it isn't too modern, it's as qwert already said, about the same as the original.

It's looking good qwert. I'd maybe consider making the infantry barrier 'x's a little less perfect and symmetrical, or at least less like 'type x's '...like on a keyboard or on a typewriter.

Also maybe fade your signature, make it transparent with the map, so it doesn't stick out so much and blends with the map. But since it's your signature, you can surely keep it whatever way you'd like. :) I just like signatures that don't immediately get caught by my eye.

Like you notice,these is a strategic military map,and these is not a some perfect and summetrical X,its just simple symbol who present barrier on map."All in page 1"you can se that i present 4 diferent barrier symbols and people vote for these symbol,who is very simple,but very good present barriers in these map.

I want to all mine signature be same in all map,i hope that you agree with these(These is a flag of mine country,and i hope that lack will find these flag and change in mine profile old flag)

if this is a military map why are you using a comic sans type font. maybe a more military oriented font would give the map a more accurate military feel.

The font is actually pretty close to the original military font.

Keyogi is right,i will be 100% accurate if i know what font Americans use in hes map 1944 years.But i think that i very close to these military font(maybe 95-98% close).

About your signature. Andy is right. It is not in the style of the map. You can fade it like the background of the map. Its a eyecatcher, you immediately look to the signature and the not the rest of the map. It's not proper on the map.
