Wargame Map Tool: My first attempt to draw a map

Having recently downloaded the WARGAME MAP PROGRAM hex map drawing program, I have managed to start playing around with it. I decided that my starting point would be to produce the sort of map I used for the Operation Barbarossa Mini-campaign that I staged last year at my local game club, Dice on the Hill. It took me a couple of attempts to get it the way I wanted it to look, and the result looked like this:

It is by no means as detailed as I hoped it might be, but for a first attempt I was quite pleased with the result.

  1. A nice start and from what you showed before I expect as you learn more you will polish this up.
    Are the dark green patches woods or hills?

    1. WEK 3,

      I was pleased with my first effort … and it only took a few minutes to produce.

      The dark green areas are supposed to be woods. It does have a forest icon but I have yet to work out how to scale it to fit a single hex.

      All the best,

      Bob
