Maps!

^ Pretty much.

Except the 80mph-passing bit. Usually it's idiots in the passing lane doing 55-60 with nothing in front of them, cars backed up behind them, and traffic passing them on the right, and they still don't have a clue that they're frigging idiots. (Happened to me yet again this afternoon.)

oddly that mostly applies to the non-southeast coast regions of Florida.

Minnesotans can claim 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8 (plus 11, of course) as well.  ;)

The following is kind of a map of sorts I suppose.

Holy Image Size, Batman!

Huh. Must've changed. I played it a little early last year.

Known as "the Bigot map" (it's just an arbitrary codename), this two-part map was used by invasion forces to plan and launch the attack. Its level of detail is both a stunning accomplishment, as a piece of cartography, and a somewhat haunting evocation of the challenges the Allied forces faced. Ditches, man-made barriers such as Czech hedgehogs, and gun encampments are laid out in painstaking detail. There's a note to boat navigators on how to guide their way by physical features if the bomber runs leave too much in ruins to recognize. The reverse side of each map had detailed hourly currents, beach gradients, and tidal stages. See the full image here, and both maps plus their reverse sides here.

Damn.

Damn.

try making a map for a wargame.  I don't say that as a braggart.  what you research and learn can be amazing.  it also messes with your head because you're researching terrain and you end up seeing it when your out and about.

the 38 states of the USA



and how they look compared to today's states

[Staggerwing]

What's the background behind that '38 States' proposal?
