WOW that's a big ole' map! And it looks great, too.
It's only temporary but it'll be there till Saturday.


OK I got the pics to upload!

shaddock, you might see if the image will upload to another website, such as the first one that comes up if you search for "post image". If that works, you can just post the URL here.

As I took the wrapping off she saw the books and saw it was Matrix World in Flames. She said, "OMG, don't you already have enough WIF stuff?" As I took the maps out I replied, "Look! New wall paper!". I should have had a camera because of the look on her face.
Flowers will be sent today.

It was kinda nice to brag to my wife, that I was probably the first person in the world to set up the whole map. For some reason she was not as impressed as I thought she ought to be

Well, we are impressed! I do think you have that honour as the first customer.

Status: offline 		shaddock,
Thanks for showing us just how large the physical map is, way too large to actually play on. What you really need are enough tables to lay the map out on and then plastic sheets to hold the map in place instead of sticks. Then you could play. Now all you have to do is convince the wife you need to extend the garage a few feet.
