Just putting the finishing touches on the first battle map - Dzelda Bridges:

The yellow push pins are the respective boundaries to the map, 3200m wide x 2800m deep.

Here's my CM version:

The south and west edges are cutoff.
The reservoir did not exist in WWII so I 'assumed' the rivers path.

Google Earth elevation:

Google Earth elevations are a bit off, you'll notice the river does not match the bottom of the gorge. Still, an amazing amount of free info on the web.

Researching the OOB for a selection of troops/equipment then off for some play testing. BRO Sapper will be helping and I'll ask for a couple more. Interested?
