New map in works - Bayt Hanun
 

So... Finally got back to the map making business. This time leaving the Czech Republic and making use of some military topo maps of Israel I got my dirty little paws on :)

Map size: Largest possible, ie 160x200.
Location: North-Eastern edge of Gaza strip, roughlz in the center Bayt Hanun, will include further several Israeli border villages (Eretz, Yad Mordechai, Netiv Ha'asara) and part of Jibalia from the Gaza strip.

Map would be ideal for Quasam-hunting, as it includes most popular launch areas against city of Sderot.

Just started it yesterday but I have already the topmost strip of the map ready (ie a strip 23 hexes high and all map long). The maps are from 1980's, so less houses there, but intending to make an up-to-date version as well.

Will post a preview image today evening or tomorrow, when I have more.

Sorry, didn't make it yesterday, preview coming this evening!

Okay, here it is. First draft. Village of Netiv Ha'asara and surroundings, to the south (down) there will be Erez checkpoint and then Gaza strip, to the East Erez village.

After a bit of hiatus caused by change of monitor (or, rather, of change of table and not willing to manhandle the huge CRT back for just a day) got back to work yesterday, village Erez is ready as well as first parts of Jabbaniye outskirts, today I will make Erez bordercheckpoint/base and will cross the 50% threshold I expect.

Are you going to make a scenario or only the map?

Re: New map in works - Bayt Hanun
 

At first, only the map (both 1980s and actual, though if there is some volunteer willing to play with Google Earth and converting the map to current state of things I will gladly leave this to him ;)), then maybe some Quassam huntingt scenario.

Re: New map in works - Bayt Hanun
 

Converting the map? you mean searching for that exact position?

Re: New map in works - Bayt Hanun
 

Nope, I mean I am making the map for 1980's, whereas nowadays there are more buildings and so on. So after making the 1980's map it would be neccessary to alter it to today's state of terrain and inhabitation.
