A few more maps for y'all

[VDS]

276 - A reasonably realistic map of Stanleyville/Kisangani in 1963. Medium, 50x110. I say reasonably because the sources I had to work with left quite a bit of guesswork. The scale is also modified to make it a bit more playable for a scenario I was designing, a historical Dragon Rouge. Getting this scen right is my SP holy grail. My dad was teaching at a university in Kinshasa when Dragon Rouge occured and remembers it well. He even knew a priest that was taken hostage by the Simbas (he survived, thankfully) and visited Stanleyville more than once, both before and after DR. So for him it was more than a historical footnote in the history of the Congo. I grew up with my dad telling me the story of Stanleyville and the tense atmosphere in the Congo after independence. I was born in Kinshasa a couple of years after DR but it remains somehow personal for me.

I really could use the help of an experienced designer and a few playtesters down the road if anyone is interested. I know Tom Deshetler created an excellent DR scen, but (with apologies to Tom, who seems to be a helluva good guy) the map and OOB he used are not historically accurate. I'm hoping that with a bit of help, I can make a scen that is as fun to play as Tom's but somewhat more true to history. This is not meant to replace Tom's scen, or make it "better", just an alternative design of the same battle. Like I said before, its personal.
