Kampfgruppe Peiper - Fun and high jinx with hills and valleys (VASL)

[Martin Mayers]

OK. We're struggling a little as a result of colour blindness. Especially between levels -1/0/1

Are there any easy and readily available solutions? Any updated maps to show, for example, a defined crest line? Anything we're missing to make life a little easier?

Nothing as far as I know but I have labelled counters and placed them on the appropriate levels before.

Aye. I think there are definitely some manual options.

You're a manual option.

KgP Maps Question

Hello All, Apologies for such a basic question, but on the various Kampfgruppe Peiper Maps, is the darkest shade of green still considered as Level -1? Many Thanks, Raphael

And inspired by Jim White's work on the Stoumont map, these resources:

Map - La Gleize map with levels marked (vsav)

A .vsav file with the hexsides where the elevation changes marked by dragable perimeter lines. Ten .jpg files each with one level highlighted in purple.

Map - Cheneux map with levels marked (vsav)

A .vsav file with the hexsides where the elevation changes marked by dragable perimeter lines. Six .jpg files each with one level highlighted in white.

Map - Pegasus Bridge map with levels marked (vsav)

A .vsav file with the hexsides where the elevation changes marked by dragable perimeter lines. Four .jpg files each with one level highlighted in purple.

I've run into the same difficulties, visualizing the general shapes of the landscapes, and seeing the crest lines.

Fantastic cheers.

I took a pencil and outlined the contours in the problem areas when I had good light and no counters on the map: that helped. (You could enlist a color-sighted ASL player to do this for you.) Pencil is good because, if you move your head around, you can catch the glint of the lead.

My wife drew all the contour lines with a fineline marker pen in black, allows me to see it better

Is she any good at programming VASL mate??

I did this. My wife's just gone to use our PC and gone absolutely apeshit screaming - "MAYERS, WHAT'RE ALL THESE MARKS ON THE MONITOR?"...
