| Steel Panthers* Building the Bastogne, Battle of the Bulge, 'Battlefield.' | ||||||||
| Working with the various game map editors we can now setup an Historical | ||||||||
| Battlefield, using Topological, Geographic Maps and Road Maps, to base the | ||||||||
| SP Battle Maps, to an accuracy within 40 to 50 meters. Since the editors span | ||||||||
| the entire set of SP games from SP2/3 to SPWAW, and on to SPMBT-SPWW2; | ||||||||
| we shall as well be able to produce game maps for all 5 games simultaneously. | ||||||||
| This task can be accomplished by working from a single set of bitmap images. | ||||||||
| Using colors compatible with each of the games in this way, we shall be able to | ||||||||
| complete the work in a mere fraction of the time it would have taken to complete | ||||||||
| such a task, working from within the game's own map editor, solely. As well, by | ||||||||
| judiciously choosing our SP Map templates; overlapping battlefield sections; | ||||||||
| combined with the use of the scenario editors, we will as well be able to rotate | ||||||||
| battlefield sections, to allow for battles along axis, other than the West to East. | ||||||||
| The flexibility of using bitmaps to derive SP Battle Maps will also allow for rolling | ||||||||
| battles - engagements that have advances or expanding battle lines that do not | ||||||||
| exceed 100 hexes, or more. Hence consecutive battles can be quickly drawn up, | ||||||||
| with only small changes to the SP Battle Maps. | ||||||||
