Clash of Steel (The Wargamer #31)

Thanks to HPS for ADC2, JASC Software for Paint Shop Pro 4 (v4.15) and Nick Bell and HKL for 
providing the means to post these titles for the appreciation of a wider audience.
Thanks to Kjell Windsland for his terrain library.
Thanks to other unknown (to me) individuals whose previous graphic work has provided
some templates for my humble efforts.

Each title I produce an ADC2 set for represents part of my learning process to be some
sort of graphic artist - if you download more than one of my efforts I'm sure you can work out 
which are the earlier ones. Irregular lines around coasts and terrain features don't interest 
me too much, these maps and game sets were made as functional as necessary to enable me to
play through the games on my PC to my own degree of satisfaction - I don't have too much time to 
play around with graphic embellishments. My rationale is that if one terrain dominates then 
it fills the hex, or if an inlet on the coastline prevents movement between two adjacent 
hexes then it is shown as a hexside feature etc etc. Reference to the rules or original map 
of the game should allow you to figure out my rationale, and resolve discrepancies that I 
haven't noticed so far.

Note: The game sets have all been produced on v2.10 of ADC2.

Feel free to modify my work as you see fit and improve on the game set to suit it to your tastes.
If it is a big improvement then please post it on HKL.

Clash of Steel (The Wargamer #31)

The original map seems to be in error around hex 1714, as there is a disconnected piece of the 
river system to the east of that hex. I have chosen to leave that error on my map.

Ihave stylised the victory and major cities and changed the colour of the former to make them
more easily recognisable.

In order to differentiate between frozen and unfrozen river hexsides I have coloured rivers 
differently according to which months they are frozen - my rationale should be easily discerned
with reference to the Arctic Weather Lines (AWL's).

The game is set up for solo play, but the items needed to set up for double blind play are there
- you just need to make some set-up adjustments.
