If the map is good enough, it'll be accepted for sure! But I'm not planning on adding the Italian Army, if that's your idea (I'm not familiar with what happened in that area in WW2).

And I don't I'm pretty sure there arent practically any statics you can use for buildings.. etc
although that area doesnt look very populated , can be interesting

but what is your problem again why do you want to match the 2 images?
are you usig that small red square as your heightmap? is it 4km?

Germans fought there, it's good enough.

EDIT: I don't get your question either. If you can identify the location in MicroDem then that's the only thing you need.

Ah, Germans, good, alrighty then .
(guess we'll be needing a bit of desert-ish camo?)

If you can't find the exact location, perhaps you could use the DEM stuff of the area you posted? Even if it's from the Grand Canyon. If the shape of the terrain is similar......?

I think this is what AD is talking about.

Are you sure you cant work around it? like re-align it in Ps afterwards?

That doesn't surprise me one bit. The more I read about WWII, the more I realize that Axis forces were quite random with their camos.

The terrain unfortunately gets always bumpy because of the resizing in PS, just smooth it out in PS or in the editor
remember I think we practically have only one house static that might be able to be used in a italian town so take that in consideration.
can you post the area you are thinking of?

I don't see why you want to make an italian map when we don't even have italian statics. We could really use more maps set in Normandy, we don't have one with planes yet
