Default T2K Poland Resources

I stumbled across this site whilst looking for something else T2K-related.

http://www.jedmc.com/ixdd/2014/1/8/a...h-sandbox.html

The author has taken the time and effort to create a grid map for the v1.0 starter box map of Poland and then write up all of the settlement descriptions across all of the original Poland modules with the grid coordinates for each. He also created battle maps for the Death of a Division insert, including a chart with the fate/status and Escape from Kalisz locations for each unit involved in the battle. It's all pretty kick-ass and must have taken ages to research and create. If only I'd found this years ago, it would have saved me a load of work.

That's magnificent. Downloaded and saved for future use.

Also, small damn world. If this guy worked at WRFL in the early nineties (as mentioned in another post on that site), I only missed meeting him at UK by a couple of years.

One thing I noticed that is off is the composition of the 256th Brigade. The 2-108 Calvary is a new unit. In 1996, this would have been the 1-156 Armored Bn headquartered out of Shreveport, La.

hey all, hope you find the doc useful. The other thing I was trying to do with the hexmap and index was to assign a Territory Type to each hex based on what was nearby in the various adventures (unless it really should be randomly rolled), to make it faster to roll for random encounters.

Btw, I posted the index to Lulu so I could have a saddle-stitched version for use at the table. Here is the private link- the price is just lulu's cost for printing.

So, mpipes, the composition for the 256th circa 1996 would be:
1-156 Armor
2-156 Infantry
3-156 Infantry
1-141 Field Artillery

Hey Tegyrius, were you involved with MSU at UK? Was it still around when you where there?
