RUB.
I've sketched about 300 new geoboards; standard, Fort-style, double-wide, you name it. I've also taken a count of how often each standard-issue geoboard has been used since the beginning of publication, hoping to determine what types of boards (open, city, village, etc.) have been most used by designers, keeping in mind how long each board has been out there in use. (not surprisingly, Board 4 - open with some buildings, is the most used by far)
Anyhow, after all that I chose 2 board designs that I think will be RUBs and am almost completed with them. Once finished, I'll shoot them over to Tom R. with the hope of VASLizing them. After that, not sure how to proceed - other than with the idea of having some scenarios prepared for them, and ideally have MMP use them in some future something.
The board ideas: 1) Rural village crossroads (on half) / rural really small crossroads on the other half. Can split this board at Row Q and use either half with other boards.
2) Substantial Village board (on half) / Rural crossroads on other half.
Both boards can be used for either Western front or Eastern front. Designed to be highly versatile.
