Re: Midway Suggestion
 

Oh well, maybe I can show some teenie screenshots of what I have so far. This is with the islands in the middle of the map. Remember, this was made well before this thread, so I'm a bit reluctant to go changing things even though I'm open to suggestions. I'll have to scratch my head how I'll be able to translate it to the bottom right without any hiccups if its decided to go that route.

I'm not sure about having a japanese search plane. I'm having trouble convincing the others about a few more essential items :naughty: Lobo...

About vegetation. Of course there was some on Midway, but I'm not going to be lavish with it. It might seem bare to some but heck, its a naval-air map. Better leave the resources for the right things. Also, the reef is such (hopefully) that it won't be worth your time to beach and camp the islands. There won't be any flag objective to landing on the island, only destroying key buildings, that have airplanes tied to them.

Re: Midway Suggestion
 

One idea dozen would be to just make two maps. For the first have it be the extensive and large island one- signifiing the japanese attack on the islands, but more limited water etc. or whatever you have planned. Maybe name it for the japanese or us name for the operation.

On day 2 or however, make a much larger naval maps with the more baisc islands. With a much more naval focuesed maps or whatever yout might plan- maybe have it be objective where you must destory other sides carriers? I think you would be justified in having 2 maps since it was a multi-day and very imporatn engament- espcially if the maps were had different focuses.

As for that curretn map ==> Well that map looks just AWSOMe! thank you for posting that it, it looks very cool.

very nice screenies :)

i dont think it matters the position of the island.. really
as long as theres sufficient room for the naval battle
and your saying theres no caping of flags on the island.
so the battle wont get divided into 2 fights... a naval war and a land invasion
but an objective style map is definately the way to go IMHO
these island hangers will only be damageable by aircraft bombs?
dont want to see them satcheled to death or flak'ed or something cheap
