Sweet, Will LOVE to play this map ^^
One thing I want to know, Whoever starts in the left is going to have a massive advantage.
Look at all those vechiles/haystacks ect in that field, GREEN COVER GALORE Cheesy

But yeah seriously, Really nice work with this mate :3
Looks like you've impressed EVERYONE with this Cheesy

If you send me the latest version I'm willing to take a look in the WB and comment more in-depth btw.

looks nice, only thing that concerns me is from the screenshot the church looks hard to flank, very open all around it. Is the distance from the hedge to the church close enough for a mortar?

Wow, I must say its quite stunning work Smiley.
If you can get this 'finalised' for extensive ingame testing I will throw it into the .module and we can add it to the autoupdater in the next batch of map updates.

I guess the biggest question is going to be sectors, make sure they're perfectly even for both sides. You could have one or two more sectors in the important spots in the middle, this encourages people to play aggressively rather than sitting at the 50/50 line in a defensive position.

As for the fields, add some haystacks/haypiles/tractors/carts/bushesetc on your fields for added cover.
Could also throw down some craters all around the town for added cover, it may also be advised to damage at least a few houses in those 2 rows of 3 houses that you have in the town (probably some of the middle ones).

Lastly, just add some more objects in general, and a few more splats left and right and you're pretty much set.  Smiley

Once again, amazing work, I'm very impressed and I really hope that this will not be your only contribution.
This IS probably the next Abbeville/Tanteville follow-up right there.  


Also, if you're interested in doing a 'joint-project' sometime, let me know.

I decided to put strings of bomb craters in for cover in the fields, rather than putting 8 of the same cart in each field.  Haystacks really don't fit in with the look of these fields.


And here's the overview as of now:

Yes I concur, hence why I would advocate just using some random bushes/trees on your fields left and right like relic tends to do with these type of fields.

OK, it's pretty much done (sector layout is going to need adjusting after playtesting I am sure), I have packed the SGA but I don't know how to view it in game -- it's always complicated in vCoh...

I need to open it up in game to make a loading screen, and then of course to start testing it.

Name .sga betamap and it will show up in EIR Smiley.
You can probably get 6 people in EIR to play it, through vent.

OK, final question, recommend a size for a 2v2 map please.  I will make it 2v2/3v3 of course, but it needs to be small enough for a good 2v2, which schijndel is not, of course.

thanks

512x256 = Rails & Metal, which is arguably already a wee bit too large but that depends on preference.
For reference RTC is something like 544 x 228

Rails and metal is not too large !  
This is not RTC !
I will probably make it 512x256 !

Like my creative use of !

Oh and sectors, do I use less sectors for a 2v2?  Or just shrink them all?

Shrink em down, try to stick with no more than 3 sectors across the width else it becomes a backcapping festival (see Crossroads)

It is when you compare it to RTC.

Honestly, you either get back capping or camping.  I prefer back capping, as it implies flanking and action.
