Koryo's 18AL map: Formatted to pring on Legal size paper

I've modified the Koryo map to print on 2 pieces of Legal (8.5" x 14") paper because this size is more common than 11x17 and easier than four pieces of 8.5x11 paer.

Koryo's Upgrade - Tile 142 correction

This is the corrected tile 142 only. There are two tiles in this file to replace the mirrored tiles in Cory Williamson's (Koryo's) 18AL upgrade version.

18AL Koryo re-do formated for A3 paper

I had a request to re-format the map for A3 paper. I don't have this size paper but it is an option when I did the conversion so should work.

Koryo's 18AL Map: reformatted for printing - 4 pages

I've taken Koryo's excellent 18AL map upgrade and re-formatted it with Adobe to print as 4 pages on 8.5x11 paper. I had the program add 1/2" of overlap to the map so cutting/mounting will be easier.

18AL Comprehensive 2-sided Player Aid

I have edited version 1.0 to add additional clarifying information regarding the initial setting of Company Par Value and actions that accompany the floating of a company. Thanks goes to J S (Stoffel) for this information. I have also made some cosmetic changes to the file in order to (hopefully) enhance usability. Please continue to offer suggestions for improvement. Hopefully it will not take me 6 months to address them.
