Historical maps
Just wondering where you guys find historical maps (on the web) for scenarios etc.
I had soem on my old comp, but they are gone now

I'm not praising myself, but...
I have a gigantic archive of historical maps from 6 historical atlasses, as well as a huge amount of maps from ca. 60 books. If there is anything you need, from Viking journeys over Mayan expansion to the establishement of the Soviet Union, I should have everything.
Heh, only one small con: Most of them are in German...Follow the masses!

Some are...
But they're all only two feet away from my scanner, so it would be no problem to scan them all in... Do you think I should do that?Follow the masses!

Prom, the link doesn't work (it could be my comp playing up though)
thanks Stefan, but I read very little german
I found some nice ones that are in French for the middle ages, but if anyone has any Npaoleonic maps (i.e europe before, during and after) then that would much appricated"The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Sorry, COckney, it was all my fault, I mispelled that link... Now it seems to work."Io non volgo le spalle dinnanzi al nemico!!!" - il Conte di San Sebastiano al messo del comandante in capo, battaglia dell'Assietta

I've been parsing the web in search of terrain and railroad information for the Western Front update, and turned up this gem of a site (all eras):

Kull: That site is wonderful!
C0ckney: Most of the maps are understandable, and if there is any doubt, I can still translate

Neat, Kull, but they rely on antiquated maps. Their map of Persia shows Pasargadae south of Persepolis, this was an error done before the 30's (when the site was excavated).
But still good

Neat site Kull... just one point: why there's not the La Maddalena island campaign, one of the few - and the worst, IMHO - Napoleon's fiascos?
