Let's see...1977, that was when my older daughter turned five and my younger daughter was two. <grin> I'm old enough.

For those old enough to remember 1977, the title of my map was from the movie "A Bridge Too Far." An epic war movie about "Operation Market Garden." I remember my brother and I visiting my dad in Huntington, WV -- they still had an active downtown with several big old movie theaters operating. On one side of the street was "Star Wars" and on the other was "A Bridge Too Far." You had your choice: Sci-Fi war or historical war.

Aeston also made a map that he called "A Bridge Too Far".

Just posting so I can keep track of this.

It looks like a great idea and I still have about 2 weeks to check my maps (I'm sure one has to fit) and/or make one. I'll just edit this post with my map later.

Nice lookin' map, SuperFlyTNT, but I think it should be Pools of Blood. "Puddles", to me, just sounds too wussy. Just my 2¢. (No offense intended.)

Here is my first map submission. I call it Le Dormir du Val from a poem by Rimbaud.

This happens to be the first map I've actually uploaded here; thanks to LongHeroscaper for the great advice in his thread about map publishing.

I had some questions about the rules. Do you need to designate 2 locations for the Hive in case each side decides to have one in their army? Keep in mind I’m new to this.

“If” you only need 1 designated area and it is near one of the starting zones. Does the person who drafted the hive get that starting zone?

May wave 1 glyphs be used?
May you use glyphs from master sets not used in the design?
May you use multiples of the same glyphs?

Thanks

So yes, both start zones must have room for the Hive and you have free license with the glyphs.

I'll try to answer some of these:

There has to be a way to put the hive in each starting zone.

Glyphs do not count towards map requirements (according to the BoV)

I doubt that you can use multiples.

If I had 2-3 more water tiles there it was GOING to be Pools Of Blood, but since they're so small, and most of the water areas can be navigated by 2-hex guys, it's more like puddles, hence...Puddles of Blood.
