For the Carpathia battles here's a few maps of the Romanian front. On all maps the Germans are on the left side of the Carpathians and the Romanians and Russians on the right side.

Battle of Oituz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_Oituz
The Battle of Oituz lastest two weeks from Aug. 8th to Aug. 23rd, 1917. Moving eastward through several valleys, German & Austro-Hungarian armies sought to breakthrough to Onestii and then into the Moldavian plains. The key spearhead was at Mr. Cosna (Hill 789) located between Grozesti and Targul Ocna. After severe fighting on Cosna and Ciresoaia (Hill 772), Romanian troops held the front and the German led armies did not penetrate Moldavia.

Ahh really, strange because i can see them. Just follow those two links with the full descriptions because that's where i got the pictures from. They are on the right side of the descriptions of the battles.
panzerschreck. I also want to make new maps (starting) What Programme are you using?
there is gimp and the hibam tool made by legio desaix (on this forum).
I was damn impressed seeing your Gallipoli map, I'm sure I am gonna spend hours & hours enjoying it !
Your Galipolli map is looking damn-fine.
Chunuk Bair is a map that should be added, i think it will make a perfect melee combat map (also my great grandpa fought there.) the map
we are essentially talking about a battle where both sides fought so viciously that the rifles became too hot to handle because of how rapidly they were fired. soldiers would take the bayonet off their gun and fight hand to hand because of how close the combat would be. infact, rifles were obsolete beyond 20 yards as it was too steep to fire upon the advancing ottoman forces.
The US will gladly step up to become the world police when there is oil involved, yet they will resign the second there is a genocide in Africa, a slaughter in an allied nation, or a massacre committed by dictators, all who's nations have nothing to offer, but the gratitude of the people to the international community for reaching out.
Is the Battle of Beersheba on that list?
more pics of Chunuk

Great work guys , on all of the maps. A real testiment to those brave that had to fight in these areas. Is there a chance that there could be a map of the battle of the lone pine, just so that i can relive the battle where my great granddad won the VC. Super job.
This looks great!
Ottoman positions just before the campaign
Lone Pine army dispositions, ottomans are blue, ANZACs are red
Lone Pine will need some trenches dug to a really close range of the ottoman trenches as this is how the ANZACs advanced while not taking fire.
Australian troops before the charge
