    I think it's time to have a normal map now for a change. Mindless furballing and 3 resets per hour may be fun but maybe for 2 days, definitely not for 2 consecutive ToD's!

    well not that i'm complaining, but i do like this map, but i also believe FH should stick with the rotating of current maps. it's only fair. :)

    Sure do it fast, pls!

    Most certainly, Stec!

    Anything but the current "small Med" will do, it is just boring.
    Either wbawt or wbmedrl2 will do fine.

    Thx for concern, Stec

    Regards

    Hello!

    @ Jacobe

    There are plenty of other maps. You suggested:
    That is just too small as well, thinking of the "32 players per grid square bug", meanig that you recieve the Host Comment: "you are not in the players database". And, as we found out during the recent scenario, the admins have problems to activate all the tools they would want to use (buggy?).
    Many of the available maps seem to be too buggy for usage in a Main Arena. AFAIK there are:
    • webeto1, a large Westfront-map
    • webmed3, the small Med we been using the last weeks
    • webmedrl2, the large Med
    • wbna1, North Amerca, nice map, but I doubt, it will ever be played (for political reasons?)
    • wbpac3, Pacific map is getting people to cry out loud after few days
    • wbsthpac, South Pacific only good for small scenarios
    • wbtobruk, Tobruk, North Africa, very small scenario map, from what I heard it is supposed to be very buggy
    • bobtrn, the one we played in the ChWarIII-scenario too small
    • midwaytrn, small Midway-map, just too small
    • wbhaw, small Hawaii-Map only good for small scenarios
    • wbawt3, the Arena Water Terrain, we played a few times
    I have them all in my WB-Folder for off-line use, they are all working fine. The North America map is a beauty, however, see comment above. :nono:
    The only suitable maps seem to be the ones I marked in blue :super:
    Just to demonstrate their overall superb feasibility versus other possible choices, the admins give us a chance once and a while to play in the Small Med until people are crying aout loud for a change, as they are about to do this time again. :director:

    Regards

    Rapier you forgot to mention wbngs1 map - the New Guinea and Solomon Sea terrain - IMO best map ever used in MA. And furballers - to hell with them, they have TA with all planes available and even airstarts at some fields, they can find action there, they don't have to go to MA if large maps are boring for them.

    I think that North American map would be pretty cool! If it can't be played for political reasons, it's a shame, it is a game after all.
    Where I can get this map?

    I have two terrains to add:

    wbngs2 (1.3Mb)

    Same as our current big New guinea terrain, exept that convoys are replaced with CV's

    wbsthpac (1.7Mb)

    Even bigger than the New guinea. from pacific teathre showing even north australia, with 32 fields, 4 CV's, 4 Submarines! And very nice terrain from first look.

    I think there isn't such caps between fields like in New guinea nor there is such cluster of fields.

    I doupt this is same as rapiers, even if same name, because I don't see how this would be good only for small scenarios

    Thnx Rapier ,I think all maps work for me ,that was just a suggestion ..English channel is kinda small yes ..But new Guinea should be considered or maybe put it to used regulary imo.

    Here I quote myself :

    Any info anyone? (Suomi.trn is Finland terrain btw :D )

    Hey Jacobe

    @ Jacobe

    A friend of mine is accomodating most of the WB software, including the North America Map (2 MB), at his web space here you might even find some more good stuff you never thought of needing :)
    Just log in as "anonymous" and the download should be no problem, if it is, just tell me.

    Regards
