A post just for Mark. We discussed making campaign maps on Saturday during our 18C POW game. I remembered seeing something on this subject but couldn't remember where.
Luckily I stumbled across it again on the Napoleonic Wargaming blog (link below)
http://napoleonicwargaming.blogspot.com/2011/01/campaign-and-wargame-maps.htmlHe's used an AA Europe atlas and ProFantasy to create a stylistic campaign map of Germany (ideal for some of the stuff we're planning for 2011). A lot of work and effort but a great end product.

The white square deotes the territory being fought over in a campaign game... |

...and how that square is then represented on the wargames table. |
I need to see if the same can be done for Portugal and Spain.
