Bamboo Jack (Thai POW Railway) [Quenched]

[cairnswk]

Well...here we go with V5.

Hopefully this will be more appealing to the audiences.

New design
This is re-designed to include the bridge in the map rather than have it in an outside section like the POW Camps.
Therefore artistic liberty has been taken with the length of the bridge and those closeby sections of the river.

It was very hard to find names of towns etc so I had to fill with some names of Doctors who actually worked in the POW Camps.

Not completed yet
* The Bonuses are not yet calculated.
* I think because of the lineation of the map, there will be a few more terts and impassables to be added to bulk out certain sections, and I may even re-work the railway lines yet to interweave them with other sections on the map, particularly the highlands.

Anyway, it is a start, and hopefully better suited than the last few efforts I created for this map.

Let me know what you think anyway.

I love it.

[cairnswk]

I love it.

Coleman...I've just got one thing to say to you....thank you!

[gimil]

how do you get from the terrs down the left hand side to the terrs in the main map.

I only ask this because i do not understand any of the legends.

I do not understand the legends because i have been out drinking.


I apologies in advance cairns if i upset you because of this

Gimil...I hope you had a very good time. No apologies needed.
In the "destructions" it says

River sections can be crossed to bordering territories on the same river section

This means that because Rin Tin borders two river sections, you can cross from Thong Pha Phum and Tha Sao to Rin Tin.
Rather than have the river as an impassable, i made it so that it is in sections but provides a border between east and west terrs.
Hope this explains it Gimil.

[cairnswk]

OK, so soon after V5 was posted, here is the update for V6.

This version:
* adds terrs to Burma, some to the western province, and some to the eastern province.
* small design issue updates

* Bonuses are still not calculated, but I am working on these today.

With Regard to the Bonuses
The POW camps will be calculated inclusive for the Rail Section they belong to.

The river wasn't my concern although i do NOW understand that there more to the river than an impassable boarder.

What i meant was how to get from the main map to the (HUTS?) like Kyondo camp.

P.s. i did have a good time. I also found a pub in Glasgow called cairns


I took a pic and then proceeded to break my phone

Bugger gimil...i was looking forward to that photo of cairns pub. Still, i'm pleased to hear you had a good time.

About the railway terrs to the POW camps, you will be able to attack Hin Tok Railway to Hin Tok POW Camp Grd 1 or Grd 2 and Vice Versa, and the "destruction" tell you that (at least I think they do)

Railways stations must be held to attack associated POW Camps via Guards & Vice Versa

Do you think it would be necessary to have "graphic routes" between them? I would prefer not to have them, however some further/better wording might be necessary.

[gimil]

I see where your coming from now.

However i feel that that more recognition is needed. Maybe make each POW camp for distinct and have some kind of relationship between hte station and the camp.

p.s. Ill has the cairns pub pic up ASAP (once the phone is fixed)

[cairnswk]

Do mean like a pathway of some sort, or a series of dashed lines to join them?

maybe not a path way but like a symbol or color scheme if your looking to NOT have a direct path between them.

I think you could do something like a black red or blue dot (colors could be different) for the camps and a corresponding dot in the camps themselves. If that makes any sense.

OK, thanks for the suggestion Coleman...I was just thinking that perhaps also the names be the same colours.

makes no sense at all. Thats either because:

A) alcohol is affecting my sense of interpretation.

B) Colemans drug intact from his broken knee cap is affect his sense of description.

Either or, we make a useless team at this point in time

LOL...well, gimil, i think it does make some sense....perhaps wou need to see it to recognise what it might look like. I'll post a version in a couple of mins.

Hey Coleman....that's BAD luck eh?
I'm sorry to hear this has happened to you....I didn't know.
I can sympathise as I have had a smashed tibia, and now have a stainless steel plate in my leg with 9 pins holding it in place. I know the drama well.
May I offer you my prayers of well wishes for a quick recovery.

[gimil]

excellent i look forward to it

[cairnswk]

Gimil, below is V7 with the coloured names and dots.
Does this do anything for you? I have to find the right colours for the names and dots yet, but this will give you an idea. I don't want to move outside of the colour scheme i have going if i can get out it.

[gimil]

excellent, i am but satisfied
















. . . for the moment

[gimil]

now for the next question.

Can anyone of the camp territories be attacked form the railroad? or is there a particular entry point?

EDIT: nevermind read the legends and realised im sobering up. lol. I understand a little better now

Excellent Gimil. I hope this doesn't offend but that little penguin that wanders in circles...Gimil...it is very appropriate LOL. I think it is one of the best avatars on this site.

Whoops, sorry how foolish of me. Shows how many computer games i play.

[edbeard]

I disagree about the avatar thing.


About the map, don't you think there are way too many attack points? I count 5 territories that are not borders (not including the POW camps)

your avatar isnt exactly much better is it?

I have no idea what your talking about
