Hi guys,
I am currently playing Campaign Franklin, but I have some difficulty picking out roads and trails ( particularly trails) because they are so indistinct.

Does anybody know of a map mod which would make these clearer ?

I also play Panzer Campaigns and there are some great map mods for this series which make all the roads much clearer. Is it possible to use PzC map mods in the ACW series ?

Thx for any help.

There is the download section on this very site or alternatively this site http://www.brettschulte.net/ACWCGDC/acwgraphics.htm (http://www.brettschulte.net/ACWCGDC/acwgraphics.htm)
Randy Stones/Jim Daniels/Alte Jensenns work are some of many hosted over there that may meet your needs, depending on whether you are looking for 2d or 3d enhancements, or both.

Thx arckon.

It's the 2D map I'm talking about.

I'll check out the sites you recommend.

Just noticed you are a fellow Aussie.
What got you as an Aussie into ACW gaming?

Well it all started when I saw the wonderful Ken Burns Civil War documentary series on TV.

One of the stars was the eloquent Shelby Foote. This led me to request Foote's excellent,and massive, three volume narrative history of The Civil War as a Christmas present. I was hooked !

I had always enjoyed the HPS PzC series and when I saw they also had ACW games I just knew I had to try them.

How about you ?

Just always been interested in history and enjoy the game play having so much manuevering room compared to other war games.
