That being said, while I have no specifics (read that to mean no idea at all what stage of development this is in), that HPS is working on an ADC 3.0 -of which some elements are found in the map editing software of Tigers Unleashed. I am not suggesting that anyone buy a title just for that- but if you are interested in reading what there is on an aspect reportedly from that PBEM Facilitator's program -have a look at some of the documentation from that game:

Pick the 2nd tab: "TSS Series Documentats" and I believe it is in the User Manual (although it has been awhile since I've looked).

Disclaimer- I got the disk for ADC 2 - but don't claim to be familiar with it... for that matter I also have a 3.5 in floppy of ADC 1 ...
Thanks stevo
getting a little fried on on all of the board game options.
Well, using maptools so far with thw fng.
I guess all this would be circumvented by having a squad batlles map editor. :-)
I've seen maps created for sb. Damned if if I can figure out how ;-)
What can I tell you... I don't have access to any map editor for any of those series fwiw. I do know some of the guys that do but that is it.
I have the feeling though that I might get to work on some modules when the time comes (boardgame modules). Or I suppose the more accurate manner of phrasing things is that if asked to do so I'd probably put my hand up for it (the SPW material.)... but that is a ways down the track.

On another semi-related note: I have the idea that I would love to see if I can do a screenshot of the GMT East Front titles' maps. . . maybe someday I might get the time. :) Which would require using Vassal and Cyberboard modules for the relevant titles.
