[Filippo1995]

Hello to everyone, my name is Filippo and this is the first contribute ever that I do for the great IL-2 1946 SAS community.
The map I'm creating or better, editing is the fantastic Tarawa Extended made by Ramone. The main difference as you can see by the title is that this one is the Landing day version, with a butchered land, borrowed and edited from WhiteCat Iwo Jima tiles textures, and more fortifications based on a map of the island that I've found online.
If there author of the original map or the adiministrators have any problem with this project, please let me know!

Here is a little pic of what I've done until now:

While this is the map that I'm using as a reference to put the fortifications, the encircled area is the one depicted in the pic above.
