Ok. Arabic could serve too. I was not sure which names to use. Although I thought to use Arabic. But then changed my mind.

 

[Crush3r]

Although, I'm sure there were plans for forming a Jewish state in Palestine before 1936, it wasn't official policy then. Palestine was officially Arabic, with a Hebrew speaking minority.

 

[unmerged(81141)]

Yes, as have seen, British were intended to release palestine, not Israel. So it would be better to use Arabic.

I have coloured terrian in current map (excludind USSR). I have not known where to add forests in FR, UK, POR, TUR, so there will be needed some corrections. But the terrain is pretty correct now.

What are those green colours in Finland?

 

[unmerged(81141)]

Marsh. Representing thousands of lakes and ponds, surrounded by marsh terrain.

 

[Miihkali]

At least Petsamo is mostly tundra without forests, lakes or rivers, so it should be plains. Rovaniemi (Lappland) could maybe be forest. Also Tornio is mostly plains. Turku then could be turned to plains. But into central Finland marsh fits well.

 

[unmerged(81141)]

Strange... my geographic atlas shows Petsamo as plains/marsh terrian.

Rovaniemi: maybe, but consider this. Marsh terrain has greater defence value against armoured divisions and mot/mech divisions. During WWar, marsh terrain could significantly increase Finnish defence, and turn the tides of war. Because, in vanilla, USSR always wins WWar. Which is kind of a boring.

 

[Miihkali]

Petsamo is okay then.
OK, I see. But Turku still could be changed to plains.

@ Mumia: How is the progress of converting of the scetch maps into game maps going ?

Is it just me, or should Gdansk be renamed to Danzig, since it was the Free City of Danzig?

Mumia, is PAL/SYR/LEB solution good?

The Free City's name was in English (and German) Danzig, but original and local Polish name was (and is stil) Gdansk. Polish band Behemoth is by the way based here

For us it was Wolne Miasto Gdańsk

The Free City's name was in English (and German) Danzig, but original and local Polish name was (and is stil) Gdansk. Polish band Behemoth is by the way based here

And Vader in Olsztyn/Allenstein. \,,/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_City_of_Danzig#Population

It says German and Polish official languages.
95% Germans in 1923.
NSDAP in power since 1933.

So Danzig would be more appropriate.
