RE: New Expansion Pack/Mod for JTS Campaign Waterloo
The +10% column bonus for non-British nations is also poor design but, not as game breaking and ludicrous as the 2-rank 150% fire mod. The code ruleset really took a dive with NB:Waterloo but, perhaps these were endemic flaws from the Battleground series. Skirmisher and square formations are also poorly handled. Still it makes for a decent competitive HtH PBEM game if you can trust your opponent not to cheat. ;]
There is a means of generating checksums for original maps by 'triangulating' the offset. It's a really convoluted process that requires using the campaign series map editor. One problem with JTS tactics maps is they don't use a variety of flora density like a scattered trees tile. Your men are either out in the open or bunkered deep in the woods.
