Doing an upcoming twilight campaign in January that takes place in Kalisz in 1998, for it 3 ACR will be defending the city after the tactical nukes dropped in the summer of 1998. The focus of the campaign will be on the slow collapse of NATO and the fall offensive discussed in the referee's manual, with some hints of this war of mine. I decided to make a stylized map of the City in a similar vein to Krakow or Karlsborg and here is the result. I used vector map data as well as some creative inspiration for it. The data is of course from Kalisz today however considering in 1990 it was a bigger city population-wise than it is today I feel like some creative license is okay in regards to the layout. Feedback is super appreciated! I'm pretty satisfied with the result. I also have a hexmap version of it as well, but the non hex one showcases I think a more artistic look!

Moderator Action: I added the image to your post since I saw that you originally tried to do that (it can be tricky, you need the address to the image itself). Feel free to remove it if you don't like it.
I also moved the thread to the Referee's Only section just in case the thread will have spoilers.

That is a gorgeous map. What vector data did you use? I've been messing around with GIS shapefiles as well as Open Street Map stuff with mixed success.

That looks amazing!
You should do a few more for Poland (and some for Sweden) and release them on the workshop!
I would definitely buy a Swedish one (My campaign is set in Sweden), and I'm sure plenty of others would buy a Polish one.

I agree with Oddball - if you put together a package of these you could sell them on DriveThruRPG as part of the workshop.
