Good looking game, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to orient myself between the game board and the maps! Are you trying to depict the entire battle, or just a piece of it? I didn't see Antietam Creek and Burnside's Bridge or the Sunken Road, the Dunkard Church, or that town itself, all of which would provide landmarks, so I assume you are doing a portion of the battle field away from each of those. Any hints you can offer?

So many people have never seen the art and imagination which goes into gaming. Dioramas in museums pull visitors into history like a magnet. Wargaming is a diorama in motion where individuals can participate in the creation of new scenarios. I have no artistic skills and I am continually amazed at the imaginative work which gaming entails.
