I am still assembling coherent thoughts on how the map is used, but my intention is that the distance between "districts" (the area shown on each card) and its neighbours will be the stated 5-20 miles - trying to make sense of that is not easy - I'm still getting my head around this! I've had a number of emails about this, so am proposing to add a supplementary "Late Edit" to the next post.<br /><br />Regards - TonyMSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-48199085802763781002014-10-06T23:04:30.260+01:002014-10-06T23:04:30.260+01:00Great to see this system about to be put to use in...Great to see this system about to be put to use in a blog publication. I'll be looking forward to more of this.<br /><br />Several years ago, a bunch of dudes (and I) fought a Napoleonic campaign with this system, and the 'General de Brigade' rule set. As we were using the rule set for army level games, they weren't (in my view) quite suitable, as with just 2 playing sessions (evenings) per month, it was taking several months to fight out a single action.<br /><br />But I thought the 'Battlefinder' system worked well. I've since built up a campaign map myself that i have yet to use.<br /><br />I'm inclined to think that you could just about 'fill in' the gaps between the cards to link up roads, rivers, woods and high ground, simply imagining these interstices as terrain unsuitable for battle. The distance between each would be at most as shown on the overall map. If the squares that divide the card maps are a foot across, then the distance between card maps would be two to three feet. You would still be ignoring those spaces, but have a means of reconciling their existence.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.com
