Richard,

You may want to check out an app named SMS (Strategic Map Simulator)
which is a freeware download available from:

http://www.flyingzebra.com/sms/index.htm

This application was written by Jeff Patterson.  You can contact him
through his personal page.  He may be able to give you some advice.
His program is really quite excellent.  I am planning to make an SMS
game soon called Abomination Battle.  Look for it soon if you're into
Cthulhu like creatures in an all out slug fest.  The game will feature
my own artwork tiles and the game board will be reminiscent of the old
Games Workshop game called "Talisman".
