The ASW is very good so be careful - lol. Glad you're up and running.
That's something to spring on you ---> "Here, go learn these 12 songs". Good luck.
The link to go to the coast extractor used to detail coastlines in missions that players design in Kriegstanz D is wrong now, they moved it, the old extractor page is still on the website because I found it not too long ago after some digging & searching, but I forgot to bookmark it. arrgh! this link is close:

Kriegstanz Dev manual:
High resolution maps
The normal world map used by KD is created from low-resolution WCL (World CoastLine) vector data. Only by using WCL data was it possible to show the coastlines of the whole world, due to the size of the data involved.
For creating theatres close to the coast, however, this often isn’t detailed enough, so provision is made in KD to use other data sets. Supplied with KD are two such sets, one for the UK coastline and one for the east coast of the United States.
To use these, select Map from the View menu, and pick the map you want to use.
The world map is then replaced by the map you have selected.
Thanks to the kind people at the National Geophysical Data Centre (NGDC), you can quickly and simply extract high-resolution data for your own maps from the Coastline Extractor website. To do this, ensure you have an Internet connection, and follow this link:
http://oas.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/plsql/extractor.search_screen
You should see the Coastline Extractor web page. At the top, there is a button captioned “Use a Java Map to enter coordinates”. Click there, and an interactive map will appear which will allow you to specify the area you want to map. Try not to make the area too large, or the extractor will give you an error message. Trial and error is the best way to find out how much data you can extract.
