Now this here looks like a nice and useful toy:
ProFantasy Software, the people who brought us the excellent Campaign Cartographer series (I just recently bought Campaign Cartographer 3), have come forward with an interactive atlas of maps of World War II. But I'll let them speak for themselves:
ProFantasy Software, the people who brought us the excellent Campaign Cartographer series (I just recently bought Campaign Cartographer 3), have come forward with an interactive atlas of maps of World War II. But I'll let them speak for themselves:
Covering every month of every theatre of World War II, this huge atlas is for wargamers and anyone interested in World War II. It provides a highly interactive and thought-provoking view of the war, and is a great starting point for “what-if” scenarios. Each map contains date, movement, unit strengths and other military details.
From the world overview you can cycle through each month of the conflict, watching the changing events unfold. Click on important areas to bring up more detailed maps of the conflict. For example, punch down through the European maps to see Omaha Beach, the Battle for Stalingrad and the Raid on St Nazaire.
The Atlas works stand-alone, using its own powerful viewer. You can quickly search for events, zoom to any map area and control exactly what map features and troop details are displayed. The maps are all in vector format, so you'll see no loss of detail as you zoom in. You can print any map view at any scale, even tiling across sheets to suit any size of table-top game.
I guess I'll be buying this at some point in the future. For what I'm doing, the WW II Interactive Atlas seems like the right product at the right time (and at $39.95 for maps from presumably every month and every theatre of WW II there's really little room for complaints).
