Honza using another map and claiming its X place and calling it a HASL is in my view a short cut that severely tarnishes the end product. The much of the purpose of any HASL is to get at that 'uniqueness'....be it Iwo or what have you. The terrain matters.But Iwo is unique. There is nothing like it recreated in ASL yet. (apart from UV). But something like Hungary or the docks of Shanghai *could* be represented by something ahistorical. After all who would know what the exact terrain was like in the Awakening Of Spring offensive or in Shanghai?
Deciding to create a HASL CG from scratch and deciding to improvise a HASL CG from existing components are two different things. One takes years to accomplish while the other can be assembled within weeks or even days.
Repurposing a HASL map for a geo style scenario b/c the terrain is approximate, as has been done on several occasions already, is a much more acceptable way to re-use a HASL map.
