Sturm’s Midlands, 24 miles per hex
This map of the Midlands is from Francesco’s web site. I have been unable to find mention of it online, but the original file dates to late June 2011, just a week or so after his Norwold map.
At this stage, as I hinted in the Norwold map’s post, Francesco was already hard at work on compiling his own full map of Brun. He wouldn’t unveil it until later in the year, but this map is identical to the Midlands on his first Brun map.
While the base is Andrea Francolini’s work, Francesco adapted it to his own parameters. For example, he liked Christian Constantin’s Yalu Sea, so he brought that in to replace Andrea’s rather differently-shaped version. He also adopted Christian’s terrain south of the Yalu Sea, and revised the political makeup of the map to suit his own campaign’s needs.
Francesco wrote about his sources for this area in detail when he posted his Brun map at The Piazza a few months later.
