We went with this version due to the concerns with double spacers. Here's the comment from the map link.

The columns whose tops are impossible for double-based melee figures to reach are replaced by shorter columns. While this replacement reduces the coverage created by the castle walls, it guarantees an easier play for the bigger figures on the field.

Yeah, it's illegal, but it's better than having to pull the map apart in order to place the Hive (I don't expect to see it anyway, but ya never know).

More maps coming, hopefully tonight.

Also make note that you cannot place the Hive on Highways and Dieways Jungle Version in the water, you must place it on the one available land position. And cool map choices nyys.

On Normandy Beach, is a Hive placed on the water going to be considered to be on level 0 or level 1? I'd think it should be level 0.
Hot Heights is also my favorite BoV map.

I read that, but I still prefer the first version. V2 should be fine, though.

Nice to see Swamp Thing and Hot Heights, those are among my favorite BoV maps.

Re: Battle at the Border II - April 18th, 2009 - Woonsocket

nyys: the glyphs on The Dunes were both going to be face up Brandar glyphs. The first figure to land on a Brandar chooses from the 3 options you listed.

The glyph for Swamp Thing is Kelda.

For Normandy, pull out the water tiles and put the Hive, or don't. We don't really care. Nobody will bringthe Hive anyways. (Prove me wrong!)

I have the notes from Saturday, it was Fountain Fight with the face up Brandars. We can do it with both but I figured we'd shake-up how the glyphs are selected from map to map.

Updating the Kelda Glyph on Swamp Thing... also adding new non-BoV shortly, to the list (head to the first post for the link to the maps).

Overlord has been added to the non-BoV map pool, and there will be no glyphs on Highways and Dieways.

Re: Battle at the Border II - April 18th, 2009 - Woonsocket

Good choice! I regret the BoV not passing that one!

All the map's look great, but I'm glad I've not chosen to use the Hive so far, I was highly considering it though.

Spread Positivity and the joys of gaming.

Re: Battle at the Border II - April 18th, 2009 - Woonsocket

Eleven of the twenty maps we're planning, along with their glyph selection (if any) have been posted (see 1st post for links).

Of the remaining nine, we've finalized a few that I've yet to post, and the rest we plan on giving a play test or two at an upcoming game night before making final decisions.

Re: Battle at the Border II - April 18th, 2009 - Woonsocket

In a surprise turn of events (including an unfortunately inability to attend BBV), I will be at the Battle at the Border! My wife and my friend Harvard will also be playing. Not sure if we'll be able to rope anyone else in, but I wouldn't count on it.

Perhaps we'll take a break between games to renew our vows.

I need you to be awesome. Can you be awesome?

Thanks to AmishBurrito for a promo code and Gulp for sending wound markers!

Fourteen of the twenty maps planned have now been posted with glyphs assigned (if any).
