First vote!!!

1) There Will Be Blood - A masterpiece.  Plain and simple.

2) Frontierland  - Only reason it wasn't a tie for first with TWBB is that the end-game needs some tweaks to avoid stalemates (which Raptor is working on fixing), but the graphics are top 5, and the gameplay is amazing.

3) Gunslinger - Fantastic graphics, and (in my mind) rallying for the best 1v1 Risk style board on this site.

My votes:

1) Gunslinger - the addition of the "Sequel" broke the tie for me between this and my #2.

2) Frontierland Shootin' Arcade

3) Remember

1. Gunslinger - great dual map, now with multiple scenarios has endless opportunity for fun

2. Frontierland Shootin' Arcade - exactly how i envisioned my own creation to be if i could have pulled it off.

3. Deadwood - great 'feel' in the graphics and good take on how street/building system can work

4. Remember - amazing look, if only could figure a way for turn-based scenario i might actually play the hell out of it.

5. There will be Blood - my least fav (sorry ozy), tho i can see the appeal to a few, just didn't take with me.

1) There will be blood

2) Remember

3) Deadwood

1) There will be blood - I'm not 100% happy with this yet.  I thought players would be draining oil wells more often, but that doesn't seem to happen.  Part of that might be inexperience on the part of new players - I know it is a fairly complicated map.  I might make some changes down the road when I have a chance to review some of the games, and once the history works again.  That said, it's still the most fun of the Western maps for me to play (not surprising, I know what I like and design my maps for what I think is fun).

2) Deadwood - Fairly simple, but gameplay is great.  Graphics look sharp.  Theme is fantastic.  All around a fairly easy to pickup board, but has lots of replay and is tons of fun.

3) Gunslinger - I'm not a huge fan of duel maps, but this one is fun.  My one complaint is that the initial luck (i.e. who gets their first two bullets first) seems to have a bit too much influence.  The "sequel" looks like it will help with this and I think will be even more fun to play than the original.

Honorable Mentions:

Remember - This seems like a great map, but I'm probably not qualified to judge.  I played a couple games of it, but it just never seemed to click.  I "understand" how simulgear works, but it never seems to click for me.  I plan on giving it a couple more tries to see if I eventually figure it out.

Frontierland Shootin' Arcade - Gorgeous map.  Great idea and a fun theme.  Again this one just never clicked for me.  It felt more like a guessing game than something that I could apply strategy to.  Again, probably the fault lies with me and not the map.
