Hi folks! I have been printing out VASL maps more and more frequently to play face to face (FTF) games with my opponents whenever there are overlays or any terrain changes. I possess mounted maps 1-47, but find adding overlays, applying all of the terrain SSRs and season changes (orchard, grain, plowed fields, etc.) in VASL and then printing them out on a really nice color printer to be *most excellent*. In doing so, no longer do my opponent and I forget that grain was *not* a hindrance 3 turns ago or that brush was actually stone rubble. Also, PTO settings remove roads and convert orchards to palm trees. There's also white open ground hexes for ground snow really giving you the "winter feel". These are just a few of the benefits.
I have heard of some folks getting hung up that there are slight differences in the VASL maps compared to the mounted boards. Possibly, but who cares?
To me the advantages outweigh any possible downside. Aer any of you doing this? What do the listeroids think?
