NTC MAP IMAGES (HC)

IMPROVED HIGH CONTRAST VERSION

This file contains the map images you will need to load any of the NTC Scenarios listed above.  Select the map images directory you have unzipped the file to when you load an NTC scenario.  Other scenarios have map images included in the download.

The map covers almost the entire Ft. Irwin National Training Center at 50km x 50km.  The images have three versions: "Map Overlay 1" is Gridded with 100m grid-squares, "Map Overlay 2" is ungridded, and "Map Overlay 3" is "Blackhot" and gridded.

This download supersedes the original NTC Map Images which were available for download.  This version has images with improved contrast and brightness, and the images have also been sharpened.  Overlay 1 and 2 are not compressed and maintain full image quality.  Overlay 3 is compressed (as JPGs) and is decompressed at load if needed.

BULGE MINI-GAMES

The seven original Bulge scenarios (listed above) were large for players just starting out or for small, short games.  The 5 mini-game scenarios listed to the right can be played in under one hour and have much less total units than the seven scenarios above.  These games also work well for solitaire.

NOTE: Map images for all 5 scenarios are from the 13. Bastogne Prelude map.  This map must be installed.  Point your Client to load the map images from this map directory.
