Play Sorrow on Saipan - fantastic fun

[Huib Versloot]

Thanks for the compliment on my scenario design and feedback on the elevations Huib!

Several test players appreciated the "slogging up the hill" experience... and felt the terrain captured that aspect rather well!

I'm real excited about my Rising Sun scenario... and look forward... to fine tuning the balance... in the next test versions.

For playabilty, changing elevations, won't make very much difference I think, but I always try to enocurage designers to design in the scale of the game as much as possible. Probably visibility would improve from and to the hill with a greater delta (easier to look over the trees in the hexes in front of you).

Saipan looks really interesting in Google Earth, it might be worthwhile to map the entire island sometime. It fits on a 72x96 hex map. Unfortunately my historical knowledge of the battles in the Pacific is rather limited so I wouldn't know if there would be any interest in such a map for additional scenarios.
