Random Update / Design Idea

Well, sorry for the lack of updates everyone, but I haven't had an opportunity to play Age of Steam since my last post, and I haven't had much time to do design work either, as life at university is keeping me extremely busy.

I just wanted to throw out some design rumblings now though, because after this week I'm going to have a few weeks worth of break time, and in that time I am probably going to be putting together a new prototype and should have an opportunity or two to playtest it.

No, not Michigan. Though I still have ideas on the board for Michigan the new map will be a re-realization of the split level engines used in Montreal combined with a number of other thematic rules.

The setting?

The Soviet Union.

Initial map drawings and early session reports hopefully will follow later this month.



Edit: Well, here's the initial draw of the map at least. I know what you're thinking...so many towns, it will be easy, perhaps too easy to make money? Think again...towns are not necessarily your friends in this expansion :-)
