A lot of tailoring would be needed, but with a sufficient team I don't think it's impossible, especially considering the work that was done on the Cross Channel map for Il-2.

It's probably a lot more complex to make sure everything fits, but bear in mind the BoB2 has a larger map IIRC with every road and landmark visible in 1940.

This was another of the big disappointments for me. We have a Walt Disney map whereas with old maps as guides, even templates, we could have had far more historical detail, properly placed roads etc and I doubt if it would have taken much more effort than what we have.

Perhaps he SDK will allow us to create a new map and perhaps even submit it for 1C to include in the file set.
