An updated version of the map I've been using in the UK for participation games.
As they're for public demo, I wanted to (i) use only MS terrain (there's 4 complete MSs, plus 1,2 or 3 of Waves 1-4, depending on how many of each I actually have), and (ii) needs to deliver a varied - but shortish - game.
I've not actually tried the map "live" yet (though I've built 2/3rds of it upstairs in the games room), but it's quite similar to one I've used a few times now.
My only real worry is that the start zones aren't big enough - but as it already fills a 4' wide table, I haven't got the space for anything bigger (let alone having enough hexes - I think this uses every one I have, except for a couple of big rock sheets!)
The 7-hex lava pieces at levels 10 and 20 could be replaced with 7-hex snow tiles (or ommitted completely) - their only purpose is to help count levels for the 2-dice height advantage.
And shoot me if this is in the wrong place or format - I didn't really understand the rules, despite reading them twice.
<bums - for some reason I'm getting an error uploading the file - if anyone can PM me with help, I'd be grateful>
