Time to spend some words about this new experience, but first of all a great THANK YOU to those involved in the project making possible to a wannabe designer as me to begin and to test my skill. The final second place, Silver Medal, is really wonderful... I was tempted to try this contest...

Wartime maps of Ukraine http://www.orangesmile.com/ru/foto/ukraine-map.htm And a guide on how to read them http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaww2/maps/keymap/mapkey.htm Example Kharkov: 1:100,000 is not "ideal" for the tactical level but it is a good starting point in the absence of...

and Why ? Let us know what was the reason for you, starting with designing scenarios by yourself. Every information or story is welcome. Makes no difference if you are a crack designer or if you are just someone who likes to experiment a bit. Everybody is welcome... Well for me i started in...
