New scenario available at http://www.dizium.net/TOAW

Here is a shot of the map, which runs from Canada to Georgia with some keys center left of the Great Lakes.

Pbem or Solitaire. I've played a lot as the Americans, only once as the British, and have not pbem'd, but it is set up for all. It's fairly quick, a good American player can win in about an hour, or the whole 35 turns can last up to about 3 hours.

Here's a shot of New England on turn 1. The opening moves have been skipped (small unit actions) and we begin with the large American Militias having bottled up the British in their home base at Boston. The green 1-1 units represent Rebel (American) Militias forming. A larger Rebel Militia contingent has control of New York City. Next to Boston a Continental Army (CA) unit is forming from some of the Militias, and Nathaniel Greene has gathered a CA force in Providence.

Not seen is the large British Fleet in Boston Harbor (an American Player probably shouldn't attack Boston because of the enemy fleet support). I tried this with Fog of War off, but I think after the first few plays it is better with it on. So maybe if you play it, turn the Fog off initially.

Custom Graphics, no .png's (I hate the png's).

In the far south the Rebel (American) stronghold is at Charleston, where William Moultrie's Militia occupy Fort Sullivan. This hex has nothing to fear from the British PO and is a great base for later CA Operations.

In this shot no other units are seen, but I've got Fog of War ON so any Tory (British) Militia are invisible. Rebel Militia arrive by Hex Ownership, which is different each time the scenario is started based on the 'guerrilla effect' event. These effects also change from turn to turn, so each play is slightly different.

Like the look of this one [:D],Will make a great spare time scenario for me to play ,downloading now will let you know how it goes.
