Description
After getting back into Battlefleet Gothic after more than 10 years, my good comrade and long-time opponent and I decided to put a battle report on our respective blogs. For this we naturally needed some maps, very much in the style of the White Dwarf's of our younger days. I decided to try and keep them feeling in-setting but still clearly conveying what was going on. In terms of aesthetics it's very much based on the Hitchhike's Guide TV series (this sequence in particular - [link] ), the DRADIS of the re-imagined Battlesatr Galactica, various ATC and maritime radar screens and their ilk, and just proper computers of my youth - the asteroids are a direct homage to the game.... "Asteroids." Surprise, surprise.

This is very much a prototype as I had limited time before we wanted to get the report up, so the space fillers in the bottom corners will be changed, have a few ideas as to what will go there. Some of the movement rates are slightly off as the notes from the battle weren't the greatest, but generally it's all pretty accurate. The measurements probably won't say NM (although we can assume it means something other than nautical miles in this instance). This isn't every turn either, just a a taster in low res - for the full details of the battle please visit my blog [link]
