NEW MAPS

Post by MarkT »

Two New Maps:

Someone please take this and give community the link. I can not keep it there for long... Thanks.

This mod contains two 225 square mile maps, (15 Miles square), of the Richmond Virginia Area.
One is the Spring map, one the summer map. This map requires all purchased modules of the game, as I have incorporated most graphics into it.
It covers the battle fields of:
Fair Oaks
7 Days Battles of:
Mechanicsville
Gaines Mill
Fairdale
Savage Station
Glendale
Malvern Hill
and
Cold Harbor
And any skirmishes within the area.

4 are of the Southern approaches to Richmond, and one of the Chickahominy Swamp.

I wish to thank:
Ron Dawson for the contouring
and Daryl Noonan for the resaearch

I am now building the Wilderness map which is also 225 square miles and includes the campaign area for:
Fredericksburg
Chancellorsville
Wilderness
Spotsylvania C.H.

In the works, in addition to others mentioned before.
The ground work and research is being laid out for a 225 square mile map of the Sharpsburg - South Mountain Gaps - Harpers Ferry area.

I also will soon be uploading a NEW 4 season Manassas map. I will keep you posted.
Enjoy all you campaigners.

You're the man! Been waiting for this to research more into the 7 Days Battles. Lots of potential if a good OOB can be put together. I researched this campaign some earlier following multiple maps that you released but my old mind found that route confusing. Now, with the Big Picture on one map, maybe I can figure things out better and get enthusiastic enough to develop a battle plan, a seven days one.

Looking forward to:
Fredericksburg
Chancellorsville
Wilderness
Spotsylvania C.H.

Another Big Picture with lots of potential. Hopefully the full Fredericksburg battle area will be included, especially the southern positions. And the obvious request - a Winter version.

Your maps are of lately the driving force keeping SoWGB alive and well.
Much Appreciated :)

Apologies for not getting back earlier Mark, I had some problems but it's ok now.

I've put it in my DropBox and renamed it to 'Richmond_byMarkT.zip' so as to not confuse it with any of my own work sitting in there. I hope that is ok for you?

Here's the link ...

The 'double' should be no trouble either! Keep it coming! :)

Regards and respect,
