The map editor have no size limit, but in game all my maps greater than 230x230 crash to destop !

Works fine for me. Try using the validate scenario tool to help figure out what's wrong. You probably have some unfilled hexes.
That's the most common reason people's maps are crashing.

Well in that screenshot, you see the hex numbers are 278,275 so... you should probably provide a few more details to your problem if you want solutions, because it's clear that raw map size is not limited to 230x230 hexes and is not causing crashes for maps of larger sizes.

OK - now everything runs fine - I forget to reset an last airport change - one terrain tile are missing after check.

Thank you so mutch !!! I think - I' am really an idiot ! But after this working phase with the overlord (D-Day + 5) scenario I am so confused - but every batallion is on the right place yet.

I have noticed that the map I made that was 80 x 60 hexes loads and plays fine, but going into strategic view - I can't see the whole thing, or scroll to see the whole thing. Going to try 60 x 40 next time. Anybody else run into this ? In the Editor, the "check for errors" doesn't seem to warn you about the map size . It lets you create whatever you want. Would be nice if it warned you about the max display size of the strategic view. Maybe in the editor manual. Somewhere. Not complaining. Just throwing that out there.

I did crop the image which is why it looks funny, but I can see all the way to 147,138 on my strategic map and it looks fine to me.
