Rondel
The rondel I’ve done so far for our version
of “Imperial Asia”. Click for larger image.

We play a lot of Imperial on Friday nights at boardgaming, and recently we tried a new map someone came up with called “Imperial Asia”.

It’s nice, but the quality of the map left something to be desired, so I have embarked on the task of doing another one. Should be fun!

So to this point, I’ve got a general map of the area and an almost-finished rondel, which you see to the right. Below is a mockup of the map, which is still in the process of being traced out in Illustrator.

    Hey, looks good - what resolution did you shoot the original board with (just wondering about the blurriness) - excellent rondel - oh, by the way, clicking on the map only gave me a similar sized map - I had to guess to delete ‘-small’ from the URL to see the large version. Looking forward to Imperial Asia!

    You’re right - I left the “-small” in there by mistake. All fixed now.

    I shot the original board just holding my Lumix above it in not-good light, so the exposure was slow and my hand probably shook. Not the best shooting conditions.

    I’ve been thinking of getting my own copy of Imperial, and then I could shoot the original board. But I’m wary of infringing copyright..
