Planning map question

[Wrench 9,418]

as in, do you like the look of this map (see attached below)

 

I'm trying to diferentiate the nice green farmlands (as such)of Souther Europe (ok, Sicily & Italy) from the vast desert wasteland of north africa (ok Libya and Tunisia).

 

Or, should it be all one color, ie: the desert tan.

 

Opinions, please!

I like it

 

Can you get TE to tile it like that?

Actually, it kinda-sorta is. I'm reusing all the original tiles that came with it (by Deuces perhaps?), so Italy, Sicily, Sardinia and that other island are 'farm/mountain/sea/2whatever', and Libya Desert, Tunisa a combo of varioius farm, mountain and desert tiles. Did a LOT of hand tiling.

 

In theroy, one COULD import the WoE Germany tiles into the SF desert style TE via rebuilding the DesertTextureList, and retile Italy and Co to a much more European look. Although, it would be a more Central Europe look as opposed to a "Med" look. Other than the usual flaws in the Desert style tiles, I think the look is farily close (well, moderinish) to reality. I remember Canadair commenting on the Libya maps, that it looked pretty close to Real Life ™. As he's from Sicily (or at least has flown out of most of the airports there. --wonder if he's in Greece, fighting that fire near Athens???

 

So, the map look ok split like that?? (btw, that's just PM #1, and there's a few more airbases to add in Italy and Sicily) Them maps of sure are coming in handy!!
