As Todd pointed out a while back, I made a V_Map tileset for Rocket
Flight
and it is available on his website.  For that tileset I made new maps in
Adobe Illustrator that are (IMO) much cleaner than the ones that come
with
the game.  I separated all the tactical maps (they are "overlayed" on
one
map in the game) and cleaned up the delta-v and rocket design sheets.  I
also moved the charts off of the maps and onto a stand-up card (though
this is not in the V_Map set - email me directly if you want it).  The
game can be completely played on V_Map, but you can also print out the
maps from the tileset and use them in place of the ones that shipped
with
the game (which is what I do).

The game can handle 2-6 players; I'm willing to serve as coordinator if
there's interest in starting up a game via V_Map...

But I got dibs on the Lab.. <g>
