LFT's new HASL map.

It’s similar to the KGP maps, hills, woods and small towns. Nothing wrong with that.

The KGP maps are not so block like. Plus they have more variety of colours.

Plus I don't think Tom would take offense about it; it's always a pleasure to work with him

Great, now he'll be insufferable.....

The colours are defined by the existing ASL terrain graphics. The terrain is defined by the topography of the region. not sure where you're going with this one.

I recently played a game where designer decided that the Russian marine counters would have base colour of shocking pink. That was different. And bright.

There's a remarkable variety of tints and shades that seem acceptable even in "standard" artwork. Guess we didn't hit a sweet spot for Honza.

I've always liked the KGPI map. It decorates my gaming area.

Inor arrived. I am keener on the map now that I have seen it full size. It looks dark and foreboding but not oppressive.

Green and hellish

You don't know how long one has to rummage through the 256-pack of Crayolas in order to find the proper Foreboding mix.

You should always ask a grandchild!
They know colors!

Now that I have my copy in my hands the only thing I don't care for about the map is that I find it hard to see the paths against the woods background (they are fine in the brush and light woods hexes, just too little contrast against the dark green shade of the full woods.) Using the white line to show the crest lines in the woods is a very nice touch. I also very much appreciate that the designers decided to omit slopes on the map - it seems rare that they are worth the LOS & movement complications they introduce and given how much terrain is on this map it really doesn't need the slopes anyway.

I'm also at the point that I appreciate any HASL that doesn't feel the need to ram even more German SMC into my already glutted counter storage containers. It's like I'm human traffic-ing in there.
