That map looks just fine to me.

Might I suggest you change the desert terrain though? Desert combat sucks, all of the fun troops will be totally exhausted by the time actual fighting commences. Try arid terrain maybe? That would still look good, and seems not inappropriate for the historical setting. (yes, I know it's supposed to be a beach, and beaches are made of sand and all that...)


Sorry, can't help you with that twilight zone bridge thing.
