I have always been interested in the British Empire. Reading about the campaigns increased my understanding of the world. Afghanistan, South Africa, China, and Eygpt all came to colorful life when I read of the Empire's campaigns in them. But above all these, India was the greatent prize. I am not alone in my fascination with the Pax Britanica. Many other wargamers share it. As passions go, this one has inspired many fine games. But strangely, none are set in India. I do not understand why but I do have an action I can make to begin to change that. I made the following map for a diplontacy/kingmaker type game that covers the period from 1720 to 1800. It could easily be used for games as late as the Mutiny, if not later. I invite anyone with the inclination to do so to take this map and use it in a game of your own making. I ask only that you write in and let the rest of us know what you're doing.
