Board Game Arena

Hello!

I apologize if this information is available elsewhere and I couldn't find it.

I am trying to set up a 5 player game with Hyperlanes Map B. I see buttons for "Rotate Speaker", "View Map", and "Announce Setup" and the ability to set faction and BGA user with each player #.

I can't seem to figure out how these player # rows correspond to map slices.

I am looking to ensure certain players start on a certain slice. Is this possible?

Thanks!

You may need to refresh the page to see the original factions, but there should be a list of factions corresponding to home systems on the map. So if you see Hacan is in the top right corner, and you want to give a player that specific slice, you need to assign that player to Hacan. If you want them to have a different faction, you can change Hacan to something else, and they will still use that part of the map.

When you click Announce Setup, you should also see the home system immediately change to reflect the new faction(s) you selected.

These rows correspond to clockwise order around the table. Once you identify which home system is the first row, it should make more sense.

I added link to keeganw.github.io site links to view each map individually.

Is there some other image hosting service visible in the UK (https://postimages.org/)? I used imgur because it support easy embed feature php forums and its easy to stack a lot of images within 1 link.
