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..
1939: FH Fall Weiss – September 1st
1940: Invasion of Norway – April 9th Maginot Line – June 16th (road to rome only) FH Bombing the Reich – July 5th (Bombing of Kiel & Wilhelmshaven both naval towns) Battle of Britain – July 10th
1941: Raid on Agheila – March 24th FH Operation Rheinübung – May 24th FH Atlantic – May 25th (Since this is after the sinking of the Hood, 2nd Carrier should be Victorious) Battle for Crete – May 20th FH Crete – May 20th (the cruiser "beached" must be the York) Operation Battleaxe – June 15th Operation Barbarossa – June 22nd King of the Hill – September 14th (excellent map layout/custom content) Operation Crusader – November 18th Pearl Harbor – December 7th Invasion of the Philippines – December 8th Wake Island – December 23rd
1942: Coral Sea – May 4th Ural Foothills – May 8th Russian Country – May 18th Gazala – May 26th FH Adak (Battle of the Aleutians) – June 3rd ("Dutch Harbor" or "Unalaska Island would be better suited as a title since the attack on Adak was forgone and this map features US as defenders.) Battle of Midway – June 4th Operation Aberdeen – June 5th Tobruk – June 21st El Alamein (1st Battle of) – July 1st Guadalcanal – August 7th Stalingrad Front – September 27th FH Stalingrad – September 30th El Alamein (2nd Battle of) – October 23rd FH Supercharge – November 2nd Raid on Agheila – November 23rd FH Desert Rose – December 8th (could be the port of Bizerte)

The map traits however could be Zhitomir, since this city was traded back n' forth during the late fall - winter months of 1943)
1944: Tundra – January 5th Santo Croce – January 15th Battle of Anzio – January 22nd Korsun – January 27th (excellent layout/custom content) FH The Storm – January 28th (Among many choices, it could possibly be Cherkassy) Monte Cassino – February 15th Truk Islands – February 16th Dam Buster – February 18th (excellent layout/custom content) Battle for Rome – May 26th The Night of Nights – June 5th (excellent atmosphere/C-47 featured/SW not needed) Normandy – June 5th (road to rome only) Omaha Beach – June 6th FH Omaha Beach-Charlie Sector – June 6th FH Gold Beach – June 6th Utah Beach (Brecourt Manor) – June 6th (Artillery Dream) Sword Beach – June 6th (needs British Army) Juno Beach – June 6th (needs Canadian Army) Carentan – June 12th Alamo – June 13th (excellent map layout/based on Saving Private Ryan) Saipan – June 15th Saint Sauver – June 16th (excellent/map contest winner, just needs lighting work) FHKarelia – June 21st Fish River(Berzina) – June 28th Bocage – June 29th Mimoyecques – July 6th South of Caen – July 8th (needs Canadian Army) St. Lo – July 9th FH Operation Goodwood – July 18th Liberation of Caen – July 19th Battle for Guam – July 21st Tinian Island – July 24th (few collision errors above trees, otherwise good) FH Breakthrough – July 27th Mortain – August 7th South of Caen – August 8th Peenemuende – August 27th Gothic Line – September 10th Battle of Hurtgen Forest – September 13th Nancy – September 14th Peleliu – September 15th (By far the best Custom map I have seen, excellent map design/custom content/looks like real location) Operation Market Garden – September 17th FH Arnhem – September 21st Liberation of Nuenen – September 18th (excellent design/new version NOT contest winner) FHSector 318 - October 8th (Can't find anything on a "Sector 318" map suggests fall, 1944 which means possibly Aachen) Vercors Mountain – October 23rd Battle of the Bulge – December 16th Battle for Bastogne – December 22nd
1945: FH Foy – January 13th Iwo Jima – February 19th Hellendoorn – March 6th Hell in the Philippines – March 15th Bridge of Remagen – March 17th Vegrandis – March 24th Operation Widgeon – March 24th (Secret Weapons only) FHBlack Knight – March 28th (shares traits of events near Koblenz or Elbe) FHZielona Gora – March 31st (Seems to be Ratibor in Upper Silesia, I am pretty sure the region "Zielona Gora" was known as Silesia during the war though not positive) Battle for Okinawa – April 1st (an ok map-needs something creative, no other decent Okinawa's I've seen yet) FHAlpenfestung (Po Valley) – April 9th (translated "Alpine Fortress" Po Valley was a location of a major battle in the Alpines late in the war) Essen – April 11th Liberation of Harlingen – April 16th (excellent map layout/StuG/needs Canadian army/Road to Rome NOT needed) Berlin – April 17th Eagle’s Nest – April 25th Fall of Berlin – April 30th

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.

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.
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.
