Location: 
	Junction of Morava/March and Dyje/Thaya river, between Hohenau an der March and Moravský Svätý Ján, meeting point of Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Austria.

RL dimensions:
	ca. 4.4 x 5 kilometers

RL coordinates (bridhe, roughly map center): 
	48°36'06" N
	16°56'03" E

RL orienttation:
	Standard, North to the up, West to the left.
		
Character:
	Extremely AFV-unfriendly map

Motivation:
	Wondering how would that area translate to SP engine and what units can be used there. Plus opportunity to get the source map in digital form. Plus the fact I visited the place (OK, mostly just the main road across the bridge but yyou get the point ;)).

Description:
	The map covers a border area where two mid-sized rivers and three countries do meet. The rivers are being surrounded by flood zones, mostly covered with trees. The flood zones are also very wet (surprise) and here-there there is a dead branch of the river or lagoon. They are limited by raised roads that are, in fact, the only elevated points of the map. 
	On the leftmost map edge, first houses of Hohenau can be seen. Austrian side of the river is littered with recreational cottages, both Czech and Slovakian river banks were parts of restricted border area back in Commie days.
	In the rough center of the map, there is a sole bridge across the Morava river. It was built there after 2000, replacing military pontoon bridge built here earlier. The bridge is an official border crossing for any EU inhabitant. The pontoon bridge AFAIK was still there two years ago.
	In 1938, a line of light vz.37 bunkers for flanking anti-infantry fires was built along the raised road on Slovakian side. However so far I wasn't able to get some source with their locations.
	On the Slovakian part of the map, the surface contains several gullies of various depths, simulated by trenchlines.
	The soil in the area is rather sandy, simulated by... well, sand ;)

Points of interest:
	Austrian Border Guard post (33,66)
	Slovakian BG post (39,70)
	Junction od Dyje/Thaya and Morava/March (also the junction of all three countrie's borders) (42,31)
	Water bird reservation (9,77)

Scenario design notes:
	The pontoon bridge was installed during second half of 1990's and the concrete bridge was built in early 2000's. Prior to building of the pontoon bridge, road on the Slovakian part was in rather bad shape.
	Borders do pass through the middle of the rivers Morava/March and Dyje/Thaya.

Parting words:
	Hope you'll enjoy the map. Any feedback is welcome, of course.
