Re: Changes to the map screen for next patch 2017-2018
Glad you like them! Here's another one:
(Map 130)
Bjelovar, Croatia*
*
60x60*
*
This map represents Bjelovar, a small city situated on a small plateau in northwestern Croatia (former Yugoslavia), known for its dairy and logging industry. It is an important traffic junction between Zagreb and eastern Croatia as well as between central Croatia and Hungary.*
*
When Axis troops invaded Bjelovar in April 1941, the local troops rebelled against the Royal Yugoslav gendarmes and officers and defected to the Germans. The city and its surrounding area had many adherents of both the fascist Ustashe and the communist Partisans.*
*
The villages around Bjelovar were the site of numerous skirmishes between Partisan and Axis forces as well as many killings and reprisals. Furthermore, the city was bombed by the U.S. Air Force in 1945. Partisans liberated the city on 5 May 1945.*
p.s. For consistency, the last sentence of the Map 219 description should say "town" instead of "city".
