Sample PBEM Board Output
Turn 3, Scenario 24.1 First Jet-to-Jet Air Combat.
North Korean player is rushing the Alpha flight at the USAF F-80's. While Blue attempts to use the sun for a contact advantage. NK Bravo flight is scheduled to enter the map on Turn 4.
Looking to umpire (with 2+ players) or play in a PBEM.
I build my maps in the Open Source: Open Office software, so you can receive the map as a pdf like this or in the native Open Office format.

Impulse slide
A seperate version of the impulse movement table from the back of the rules. Includes a slide, that can be cut out, and slid over the table, giving a clearer view of who moves in the current impulse, and what impulse you have gotten to. Can be laminated to good effect.
