Big Bethel (Map) - WIP
« on: November 22, 2012, 09:52:43 pm »
The Battle of Big Bethel, also known as the Battle of Bethel Church or Great Bethel was one of the earliest land battles of the American Civil War (Civil War) after the surrender of Fort Sumter. The battle between Union Army and Confederate States Army forces on June 10, 1861 took place in Hampton and York County, Virginia, (near the present-day unincorporated community of Tabb). While small in comparison to the many larger, bloodier and more significant battles later in the war, the Battle of Big Bethel and all early Civil War military engagements attracted considerable notice, press coverage and exaggerated importance because of the newness of the war and the general feeling the war would be short.

Nice! There were a lot more trees though than that map implies. I don't know how it would affect the lag though. The below engraving was made after the battle from a sketch.

Aye, well i'm trying to use not to much trees. :P

And I saw the picture indeed. But it confuses me with other battle maps. Like the one I posted in the mainpost.

I agree...and thought as much. Too laggy to add more trees.

The image is the Northern positions looking towards the Confederates (North looking south ironically). Adding that house near the bridge would make for an interesting choke point. You can even see the burned blacksmiths shop in the foreground of the image that I provided.

Fantastic work as always Gokiller. I've said it before and I'll say it again...Crossroads is still my favorite map.

Can't wait to try this out. What do you think about adding the house near the bridge? Would it increase the lag?

The other thing I like is there are multiple areas to ford. So even though the bridge will be a huge chokepoint there are other areas to focus on.
