Can someone give me a clue on how to increase the size of the Gettysburg mini maps. I have seen mods where the maps have been increased in size. My eyes are starting to have trouble making out all the details on the smaller maps. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully someone with or having knowledge of those mods will chime in. If I remember right they required specific monitor resolutions to work correctly which made them not universally compatible, or very popular.

Adding To what "Reb" said above:
It requires a bit of Modding to get the Mini-Map to work properly in the Game.
Basically - it is a sort of "Cut-Out" of a 570x570 Map - that is applied onto a 1024x1024 dds sheet.
So this part would require some type of Program such as - Photoshop, Gimp, Gimp2, or PaintNet - to edit the Graphics files.
It might also require you to edit the following files:
PopUp_Map.dds
PopUp_Command_Map.dds
Also - there is a "gscreens.csv" file that would have to be edited that goes into the "Logistics" folder.
The "gscreens.csv" file defines the Map-Size - and also tells the game where to draw the map icons.
