I noticed that the city hex are ... too yellow on yellow .... without any shadow as contrast between houses and terrain, or not? However it's only a detail, you're great in creating this campaign!
Yes - I will rework all in the next version with larger shadows - my 3d light sets are with to small shadows - the effect on the map isn't enough. No problem I saved all my 3D tiles with poser and can rendering all new with better shadows.

Please do not spam this forum with other projects - DMP is a more tradional PG1 work for low level players and nothing has to do with my real Africa Corps on real military maps.

increases the contrast a little, Try it with raytraced shadows (more precise and sharp for the strong sun of the desert)
use photoshop? best tools are burns and dodge

The contrast of what ??? units , terrain or ...??
No ! I am working only with 3ds max 2011 and Poser 10. I don't have the time to spend hours with photoshop - GIMP and animation shop can do the same.
BTW - I tested you terrain set and its to mutch contrast - you can see not the units over your buildings, but it looks amazing, but not with my units.

Yes - I will do all other towed units in the same wise , but with different poses. Also all my modern war units comes also in this action poses.
It's a lot of work, but it looks so funny and the gamplay its much better.

I like the gun crew poses. Reminds me of the Tamiya/Dragon military model figures.
HBalck, how long have you been using 3ds max? Wish I had the skills to make stuff like these.

Its not easy - for me 3 years with blood and sweat - its very hard to control programms like 3ds Max, Vue-7, Bryce, Poser, Cinema4d or DAZ3d - but months for months - year for year I learned many more to live and work in the 3D world.

No - this is an free upcoming mod addon for panzer corps. I don't known somethings like a new project from the developers - I have no informations from Slitherine or others. Also I think an new upcoming game have the same not optimal parameters with not enough terrain tiles, to show the maps correctly- thats not my way - I am producing big map Campaigns on the scale 1km = 1 Hex with historical unit textures and correct maps and deployments with historical divisional and corps briefings and campaign paths. The original game design is very good , but only for more PG1 styled interested low level players. My community will play a more historical WW2 campaigns and global MP maps - I don't like fictiv Mini maps - we like epic global strategy on exactly military maps with scientifically analyzes uniforms, weapons and vehicle camourflage.
