Army at Dawn VASSAL map issue - Blackcloud6 - 06-05-2022

Please take a look at the picture.  The maps do not come together in the middle properly and there is terrain missing from the top.  Is this an error or just a result of the scan of the maps?

All Vassal maps are set to a 13x17 hex grid. Most maps, especially the newer ones, are a little undersized. Thus they don't always cover the hexes at the edges, especially the top and bottoms. I put in a background filler to compensate.

For the example you've given, turn your attention to the top edge. Notice how the numbers are cut off. Notice that the terrain stops where the numbers are are cut off. Now look at the area between the maps. Again the 13xx column got cut short, as did the 01xx column opposite it.

It is just the way a lot of the maps are.

OK, thanks.  I figured it might be the actual maps causing the problem but just wanted let you know in case it was a VASSAL issue.  But it's not so all is good.
