Along this line I think the Great Lakes area of the US would make a nice map. The waterways are diverse, plenty of peninsulas and isthmuses, plus sufficient land around the edges. Surely there would

Frigate,

I have, in fact, secretly harbored a desire to create an Atlantic Canadian variant (I honeymooned in Nova Scotia... magnificent!), but I've always figured that I haven't the time or the va

I've seen some great lakes maps, but again with the history thing.

I'm actually hoping that the lack of history will work in my advantage. There are some world maps that split Canada in two, have a

The Crowded game is this year's DC Invitational! See the DCI forum for more info... It looks like a fun map, if anyone wants to run a second board, feel free.

South American Supremacy - Kenshi777   (Aug 13, 2009, 3:07 pm)
Any semi-brave GM willing to step up and run a game of SAS here in DC? I say semi-brave since it's RP coded, so all the heavy lifting is done for you... (see the South American Supremacy DipWiki)
