I have a few items I need to have identified please.
I would like to thank you in advance for your help in identifying these items.

First: What exactly is supposed to be included in the Wave Riders and Sea-Steeds Map Supplement set?
Apparently; the original book had not included Ship Plans so a supplement was later released separately...

Second:  A Blank Sheet of paper.
Uses the same bumpy Heavy Stock Yellowish paper as used in many of the Judges Guild Wilderlands Maps.
It is also the same size as those maps are.
Here is the kicker.
It is Blank... on both sides.
Although there really is nothing to see, I took two pictures... see below.

Third: Also have another item that I suspect goes with a Traveller Set of some sort. (See pictures below)
It is a four fold sheet of white paper which has a Square Grid map (Otherwise blank) taking up half of one side, with two ship plans and ships papers taking the other half.
The other side includes various ships papers (One is Blank and several already made up)

Fourth: Set of two Maps.
Hex Grid with some structures and woods for some Space Game, likely Traveller.
Judges Guild is at bottom of Sheet 1, along with "Imperial Infantry Squad".

The green maps at the bottom are from the Judges Guild Imperial Infantry squad boxed set. You can still pick these up (I think they have them over at Dragonsfoot in shrink).

It is a set like the City State Warfare set. Don't recognize the other foldouts or map sheets.

Thanks Jason.

Anyone want or need some extra copies of the Imperial maps for free?
I have one copy of sheet 1 and 15 copies of sheet 2 (Yes, 15 copies... 8O ).
What can I say... they were included with a bunch of other Judges Guild maps and other stuff that I recently purchased...
Sad thing is that the person I got them from REALLY loves Maps and stated that they were the most valuable items and would cost more than other stuff.
So he of course upped the price for the stack with the maps in it and these critters occupied almost half that stack.... (YIKES!)

Anyway, all of the Imperial Maps can be had for free to a good home...
Umn... actually any home 8)  ...  :lol:
Just pay media mail shipping in a plain large envelope (A couple of bucks in the US).

Sea Steeds and Wave Riders has long been debated.  Apparently most people have first print copies that contained only the book and not the ship maps.  Myself and a few others have first print copies that came with both the book and ship maps.  In the Sea Steeds and Wave Riders thread Plagg and I recently discussed that JG advertising material indicates that the first print had both.  Who knows.  I think JG was pretty lax about how they compiled components.  Parts from different printings probably overlap and substitutions get made.  That is just my take on it.

The blanks pebble paper is likely just a misprint as it went through the process without getting inked, but got folded and stuffed into the pile.  Rember that JG assembled all their components for installment envelopes and later shrink wrapping.

The map of the spaceship is from this:

The product that sold separately from Sea Steeds and Wave Riders was called Flotilla One.

It had three or four (I believe it was four) goofy maps showing view-from-above maps of the decks of ships, boats and even a raft.

All of the maps were identicle.  

They were printed on the brown parchment (pebble?) paper typical  of Judges Guilds products, with a hex grid superimposed.

I opened it up, expecting details on ships.  I was quite puzzled about the wierd product I found inside.  (I had purchased Flotilla One at a local game shop instead of purchasing a rather doubtful-looking product called Inferno.)

It was not until two decades later that I got a copy of Sea Steeds and Wave Riders (my copy had no maps) which explained the maps in Flotilla One.

I imagine there was someone who considered Flotilla One a fine gaming product.  I was appalled.

or

For the City State - size 17in x 22in?

If its the top link then that is what you need for the CSIO Playing Aid.  What you are missing are the http://www.acaeum.com/jg/Item0008.html and http://www.acaeum.com/jg/Item0017.html from that list.

That first sheet is a real curio'.
I'd be interested to find out where that came from.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Then its the judges map, product code #9.  Does it have a water mark with the word "Hammermill Bond" or no?  If it does then those maps can belong with Wraith Overlords.

That blank map, I don't even see any hexes on it. That's what's throwing me.

yes they do have a hammermill bond watermark...so you think they are from a wraith overlord?

bear in mind i've actually never had an open copy of that. all i've ever had have been sealed. but i guess i could have simply gotten them with other JG stuff as extras i suppose?

so they are not part of a CSIO set then?

The first set of pictures/first post is from Gnat the Beggar, Al is asking questions not related to that.

'Hammermill Bond' watermarks do show up in 1976.  That map however was not apart of the CSIO set, only the players version at that scale.  The judges map for that set is the 4 section one.
