THE... World War Map Timeline..
 
Here is the Map list in chronological order as best as I could arrange it. This list includes all official BF 1942 maps including expansions, all maps from .65 of FH, and a few choice select custom maps, what I would consider some of the best out there, especially in respect to historical background, and/or custom content. Maps in Italics show an "estimate" as to the placement of that map in the timeline as it may relate to an event that happened on that date, and/or it shares many similiarities as well. I've also added to some of the "estimate" maps as to what they could be, if the creator would like to add a touch of realism in that sense if it wasn't what the creator had in mind already. I'd also like to suggest, if it hasn't been mentioned already a few key events for those who do make the maps. Leyte Gulf, a new Gazala (Operation Venezia) or (Cauldron) a FH version of the Maginot Line [Maybe even add some of the crappy Italian tanks) Operation Red (the Battle of France), Cherbourg (Operation Cobra) Ruhr Pocket, Malta, Russian Summer Offensive(Operation Bagration), Manila, Marshall Islands That's all for now...Enjoy..

Battle for Okinawa – April 1st (an ok map-needs something creative, no other decent Okinawa's I've seen yet)
FH Alpenfestung (Po Valley) – April 9th (translated "Alpine Fortress" Po Valley was a location of a major battle in the Alpines late in the war)

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 
wow, nice effort. But i think Alpenfestung is a map based on a theoretical german strategy to hold up in the bavarian alps with SS members.

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 
yea alpen is fictional, might want to fix that. Otherwise great job, Ill have to check out some of those fan maps.

EDIT: ah ok some of those fan maps are fictional too. Might want to mark those as better as some ppl hate fictional maps getting confused with ones based of rl events.

It is in Italics.. Po Valley is in the Bavarian Alps and there was a battle on that date shown.

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 
Nice job, although one thing, i think bombing the reich has to be a bit later than 1940 as AFAIK the lancaster wasn't around in 1940, i might be wrong. I was thinking it'd be more like 1942.

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 
From what I could tell, there are only a couple of the maps you posted that are worth keeping, one of them is Leningrad.

Most of them look like really bad Vanilla maps. No hope for them. It's awesome to have all these battle references though. I think my next project might be a Brecourt Manor map.

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 
If u should recomend 5 of those custom maps, which one will it be?

:)
