Have I found a way to end my campaign map analysis paralysis? I think so!

I recently wrote about my analysis paralysis, and I got lots of useful comments and suggestions. I looked at these in detail, and in the end I decided to take my inspiration from the campaign map used by Thistlebarrow (who writes the wonderful Napoleonic Wargaming blog) ...

Thistlebarrow's Napoleonic Campaign map. It is divided up into squares.
Thistlebarrow's recent Cordova Campaign map. It is divided up into squares, each of which represents a tabletop battlefield.

... and the maps I based on the Waddington's CAMPAIGN boardgame.

The main campaign map I created that was based on the Waddington's CAMPAIGN boardgame..
The map of France.
The map of Germany
The map of Russia.
The map of Spain.
The map of Italy.
The map of Austria.

These latter maps worked well when I used them for my Franco-Prussian War of 1810 campaign and I really should have thought about using something based on them for my Belle Époque, campaign map.

I think that have now identified a way forward ... and I hope to begin preliminary work on my Belle Époque campaign map over the next couple of weeks.
