• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I have uploaded Front_Line_Templates.zip to Warbirds so it should be available by tomorrow latest,

When I have been doing missions, it has often been irritating that I have to redraw front lines at ceratin periods in the war. With this in mind, I have done template missions just with front lines and the one required aircraft of some sort.
I have not covered the Battle for Poland or the North Western European countries as they are not really on the CFS3 map. Nor have I done any MAW Front Lines as I rarely use MAW. Of course the front lines were more fluid than represented, nor are mine 100% accurate, but they probably suffice for air warfare!
Nor am I the only one who has worked on front lines. Loic ‘Led Zepplin’ Bourdais also did several for the D day period, and I have included, with his permission, both very stripped down versions from his missions and his Template D days ones from ETO Era 4. Anything with an ‘LBS’ prefix is his originally.

One very good link passed to me by Loic is
https://www.usma.edu/academics/academic-departments/history/atlases
which give s great map information for WWII and many other historical military maps. I have used versions of those myself and have included maps in this upload.

The main periods covered are BOF for ETO Era 1, D-Day and onward for Eras 4 and 5. Of course they can be used in non ETO European theatre installs. For ETO add them to the appropriate era mission folder(s)
