The AVID Assistant Virtual Map is a virtual table-top add-on to the AVID Assistant. It displays a hexmap, box minis, and End of Turn markers.

The Virtual Map is in activate development and can change at anytime as new features are added and tested.

Currently, the Virtual Map supports Squadron Strike and Attack Vector: Tactical.

Why Patreon

As Squadron Strike is a very niche product, it is difficult to put a price tag on the Virtual Map software. We are not comfortable with asking for payment upfront for product that might never leave the alpha-stage. On the other hand, we do incur monthly costs in order to provide the backend support for the AVID Assistant and Virtual Map. Plus, it is nice to get a little bit of pocket money in exchange for the hours spent slaving over a hot processor.

Patreon provides a nice middle ground. We have a revenue stream and patrons can modify their support level at any time.

The Maps

There are two maps available to use.

Virtual Map

"Production" map.  It is known to work and shouldn't have any issues.

Beta Map

The latest version in testing.  Some features might not work as we are hunting down all of the bugs.
