I have yet to add borders of kingdoms/countries to the map. I have named it Guyleria after Deryck Guyler. Here is a picture of him (he's the one in the middle) with other famous wargamers-
I loved the picture of his painted Ancient Flats that I saw in the T V Times as a boy. I also recall with affection his TV characters from "Please Sir" and other sitcoms from the 1960/70s. So Guyleria it is...

A fitting tribute to him! (Never knew he was a wargamer - you learn something new every day)
ReplyDeleteIt's Corky! I had forgotten he was a wargamer, though now I seem to remember he had a Roman Legion? He was a dab hand on the washboard too.
ReplyDeleteMaking maps is one of my favourite parts of gaming. You're off to a good start. Nice to see a tribute to Derek Guyler. I remember him from Please Sir! and Sykes.
ReplyDeleteA great idea , I look forward to further developments , Tony
