Gary, Wow... Yeah, that's exactly what I'd like to do--give new life--as you did and are doing--to these games that we treasure for some reason.
Blitzkrieg, as you know, underwent rules revisions through '85, though that may have been a bit of a silk purse out of a sow's ear. But who can complain about that beautiful mapboard--esp. the Vassal version, rendered as elegantly as it was? I feel that I have done nothing to help out, though I have been blessed--big time--w/ a couple of wonderful, patient players and this incomparable game system. Since my skills are so limited, I thought that I could try a "small solution" and contribute SOMETHING. Who knows, maybe someone will try the game again if the counters exert special influence. Really loved the makeover you linked--for me, these games are much more than meets the eye and contribute in special ways to lots of people. I'll see what I can manage--right now I'm tending toward this offering: http://www.lincolnbeach.com/justbuttons.asp , but my question to tech support re layering (and a couple other issues) has yet to be answered.
