Thanks for summarizing how the maps were made. I’ve wondered how / where they came from. As for the operation itself, could it be the French attempt to retake the Vregny Plateau?
BTW, cartographic humor is not common, but someone just published a short book on the topic. I have it and it is hilarious: Terrible Maps: The stupidly funny illustrated gift book perfect for geography lovers https://a.co/d/6UwvuVg
This is quite the process, but I can see why you would do things this way. Thank you for the tutorial. My guess is the Second Battle of the Aisne, AKA the Battle of the Chemin des Dames, 16 April – mid-May 1917.
Well done, Mr. Gormsson, you have hit the nail on the head. The map depicts the broad outlines of the situation on the eve of the ill-fated Nivelle Offensive of the spring of 1917.
I prefer back of MRE box and skillcraft pen.
Not sure that scales well…
It does not, unfortunately 🤣
There must be an app…
US XX Corps, under Walton Walker, advanced to Reims in August 1944. This is NOT that!
Outstanding
