Field notes
Map geometry is traced from two 1917 maps, with village coordinates used as control points; the page gives placement accuracy of roughly 50–130 metres. Terrain follows contour lines only within the mapped area, and artillery positions are marked schematic. The interface also offers a soldier-and-officer follow mode, while warning that surrounding figures and scenes are reconstructions. These distinctions help separate mapped historical material from modeled battlefield elements.
