Ok folks, if you're here reading this, you've been waiting for this moment for several months if not years for this moment.... May I present to you THE map... Complete, I'm not changing things, it's good, fini, etc. etc
This is the original map, unedited.
This is the finished product.
Put these two images side by side and you'll see why it took 2 years to complete. Here's a list of things I did to the map it's not all inclusive, I did lots more to it than I've listing here.
1. Removal of all 20th century giant power lines. You know the type, they stand 100ft tall, made of metal and look like they could jolt you with 1.21 Gigawatts.... sending you... Back to the Future! (Ahem)
2. Added forests and trees to cover other various 20th century items.
3. Sendt the waterfront section to PrivateBuzz. He fixed the waterfront and made it look great.
4. Expanded the right city some, to make a bigger target.
5. Added a Coal Power plant as a target... It's actually the one in my backyard... oh and my backyard and house are also on the map
6. Added Stow Maries Airfield, last known intact airfield, as it stood back in 1916...
7. The Cardington Zeppelin Sheds. Thanks Dom!
8. A factory, a building that is part of Xerox, over in Webster NY. Looked good enough to be a nice target.
9. A railway wandering through the map, complete with several rail stations. Thanks flash for the idea!
10. The Charlotte NY Hojack Rail bridge. This bridge is long gone, one of the last known to exist, Originally it was a swing bridge that allowed trains to cross the river. it's a small target on the map, but one none the less.
All in all, plenty of targets on the map. Each 3x5 section has several targets to choose from, many are in the middle of the map, or at least, not too close to the edge, so that it'd prove difficult to turn around after bombing.
This map is at the printers now for a test print. if the place I've chosen printed good enough, then I will print more of it. here is a breakdown of the different variations of the map you could get. In order from top to bottom: Four 3x5ft sections, Two 3x10ft sections, Two 6x5ft sections
I've yet figured out how to make this available to everyone. I might make it where you can come to me for printing on Vinyl. Tough and durable playing surface. To see this map in action, Come to GenCon in August in Indianapolis Indiana. Ares is going to have it at their booth, and I'll have it at my events. One event Friday, One Saturday.
As always, let me know what you think.
