I think that this is a very interesting phenomenon.

And if correct, and I suspect that it is not too far off the mark, it is not a good one. Most people survive in the "middle ground".

The Secret of Smuggler's Cove C&C version had this while, but had not read it though. Kinda like a higher level Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh.

Also been looking at Against the Giants.

Caesar miniatures are 1/72 scale. Those minis will be significantly smaller than old Ral Partha 25mm figures. Reaper minis are more like 30 to 32mm, so they will look like giants in comparsion.

I got all excited when I seen this threads title, hoping someone was posting a scan or something . Ever since '76 I have wanted to see this map.

Maybe you could ask one of Gary's or Dave Arneson's old players
Or anyone else still around who was in the old C&C society.

I use them sometimes, mostly as others have stated to show off. Prefer to use them because I purchased an outrageous quantity of figures over the years. Some players are not miniature friendly.
