You are probably also right about the absence of New Zealand from the original map (I did consider adding it to mine, but in the end I chose not to).<br /><br />The PW WW2 rules are forming in the back of my mind, and may well see the light of day soon-ish; drawing the imagi-world map has made me realise that I could easily use it for that era as well. An example the springs to mind is the possible 1930s war between Syldavia and Borduria!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-34751101744903600202011-10-11T05:50:18.263+01:002011-10-11T05:50:18.263+01:00Hi Bob,

It would look really good and serve as a continual source of inspiration.<br /><br />Will two thirds of it be red though?<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-64464762726593908102011-10-10T23:38:28.602+01:002011-10-10T23:38:28.602+01:00Bob,

Do you think you would ever use Imagi-nations for that period?<br /><br />Regards,<br />JohnThe Ferrymenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741552972862333515noreply@blogger.com
