This time, for the fourteenth preview come what got me first into fiddling with Vassal: the maps.

1. I'll be showing the new ones so people know what to expect, plus the ones that were on the module but got necessary changes besides replacing with the last version of the hills.

2. Maps come from several sources: given to me by other forum members, taken from Shadowlord's module, made by me from scratch based on Vassal battle reports here, and made by me with no base from here.

3. At least on most of the maps i made, long side deployment, corner deployment, and short side deployment have been taken into account, like its shown on this one.

120x180 Airbase tango charlie: this one has existed on the module for many years, but found out there was some airplanes that disappeared of which only were left the silhouettes if clicking on top, so i added them.

Also, as some of you might have noticed, some of the backgrounds have been edited. Upper ones are the previous, bottom ones the newest:

- On the grey one, there was almost no texture to it, so gave it one.
- On the dark green and and first light green, the tiling was too noticeable, so created a new texture for it.
- On the last one, as it was pretty much like the previous with a small tone of color change only noticeable if like this both were to be put one close to the other, i heavily modified it, to create something different for variety, and asthe name was temperate, created an autumn themed one, that goes well with the other assets like that. Ended up a lot better than i though.

These should fix the issue of some maps looking too bland and lacking detail when there is large areas without terrain on top and ta the same time without adding much noise that hides the terrain pieces.
