Helmuth's WW1 (base) maps

No, I mean they are positioned too South. Just take a look at Zsolna, or the distance between Krakow and the ranges compared to the other maps.
Hm, I see what you mean. Yeah, that background is less accurate anyway, it's one of my earlier maps. I switched to using an elevation model as a background for a reason. ;)
 
Map of the Ardennes / Eifel in 1914, showing the World War I era fortresses of Belgium and Germany. I made this map for the thread "How will Belgium react to a French violation of its neutrality in 1914?".

The World War I era fortresses of Belgium are available in a Google Earth kml-file, including the fortresses of Antwerp, Liège and Namur. Some icons are clickable for additional information.

A map of the border region between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, the Southwest Caucasus, in 1914.

Relative to my earlier maps, I have reversed the color scale. This does more justice to the landscape: An open highland with barren mountains and overgrown valleys. This is in contrast to central Europe, where the mountains are densely forested and the lowlands are open.
