Show HN: Sitmap – a World in Conflict inspired map maker for Cold War scenarios

I loved the game World in Conflict (2007)

One of those aspects I enjoyed was the maps shown during the loading screens. The colour choices and aesthetics were really striking and made the game even more immersive.

Using Claude Fable and some photoshop skills, with a few tweaks here and there. I managed to get something quite useable and probably useless to most people shipped.

If you enjoy maps, military, strategy etc, hopefully it is of interest to you.
