[tilt]

cool find - thanks rdanhenry, did try the same search terms but didn't manage to find anything really usefull. And jtougas, sounds like you have a point
Anyone knows of the top of their mind if all the bridges and tunnels were there in the 50s ?

So I've thought long and hard about what to make.. ok maybe not, but I did think quite a while. Didn't come up with anything good until this morning when I woke up. So this i my first map of New York.

The setting: Alien invasion of the earth - New York has fallen and now functions as a mayor base for the Aliens.

No WIP yet - I just wanted to commit to the challenge ... and I've just woken up and still need my breakfast

Now if I can just figure out what is concidered NY of all that building mass out there... *lol*

This is why you actually have to read the post..I guess if aliens took over NY no one would really care what the street names were...Sorry for skimming and commenting. Excellent Idea BTW..

all comments are welcome - as long as they are productive ... or fun

so, here is a little update to show where I'm going

Here is a map from 1948. It is for the subway but you can probably make out which bridges are there.

cool, thanks aval - looks like they are all there - but then again, those things are buildt to last

[tilt]

So, deadline almost upon us so I've pressed in a little time - hope to get a little time tomorrow too to finish it

anyone got any good ideas of stuff from the 50s that might lie on the table - please buzz me... also, what gun would people have used then? and if you can, feel free to link to an appropriate picture of what you're talking about

Added a gun and an item to the list of things that might kill aliens - it turned out however, they only got mad

### Latest WIP ###

I'd think "Fire" would be on that list. I guess "Bullets" wouldn't be, because that would have been the first thing to fail before falling back on trying things from a list. I suppose fire might have been tested right away if there was a flamethrower handy. If it were me I'd probably go ahead and have bullets on the list (crossed out), but as I wrote, that's not actually realistic. I just think it'd be amusing.

[tilt]

yep... bullets and fire should be one there ... thanks

Added a border and a plaque and fire and bullets
