Congratulations on creating the absolute master of strategy games. SP:W@W is brilliant. Also, the Steel Sheild Scen is amazing. Great one Bill, a couple or 10 hours of playing that one. One Question for Bill, with all of your Scenarios the maps seem really good. Are they taken from original maps or is there a bit of improv in there? Ive been trying to find maps which could be put into SPW@W of the area in Hungary where Operation Spring Awakening was held in '45. If you know of any, it would be great if you could let me know. Thanks again guys for a great game!

Panzermeyer! Just did two scenarios on you! Rory Gallagher sent me a vintage copy of Grenadiers, written by PanzerMeyer. What a book, just loaded with scenario ideas. Thanks Steeler (Rory). As to maps. A little of both, my friend. The scale is so detailed in SPWAW that one often cannot find accurate WW2 maps of a small area. Of course Steel Shield embarks a larger area. I used the maps from the old US Army in WW2 to get the general layout with at least some hill features and the towns. Also a couple of other sources. From there as to paths, some dirt roads, etc, it is improv. Very detailed maps of small areas are extremely hard to come by. I try to be as authentic as I can but at times am left to improvise. If that is the case the improvisation is aimed at what would appear to be reality in the light of the terrain I do know about. I am delighted you enjoyed the scenario. It is for the strong willed and persistent, but everyone ought to at least take a look and play a turn or two just to see the difference in this and other scenarios.
