- SHIELDS1.TIL
-
- An Alternate Set of Tiles For
- Mahjongg 3.3 by Nels Anderson
-
- By Richard VandeVelde
- Compuserve # [72657,1224]
-
-
- This is one of three sets of tiles which can be used in Nels Anderson's
- Mahjongg 3.3 game. (I strongly urge you to register with him for that
- wonderful game if you have not done so already).
-
- All three sets are based loosely on medieval shields and heraldric devices.
- Those who are knowledgeable in the arcane art and lore of heraldry will note
- some variations from 'official' heraldric practice. But who cares?
-
- The tiles are arranged as follows:
-
- Tiles 1 - 34 Various coats of arms, many of them authentic
- representations of actual coats of arms. If they are not
- authentic, they are often variations on real ones. There is
- one which is 'close' to the coat of arms of Chaucer, e.g.
- (For the wild cards)
-
- 35 - 38 (seasons) 4 fairly accurate shields, all with red
- backgrounds which represent organizations with which I have
- spent several 'seasons' of my life: colleges and a
- fraternity. No prize if you can figure them out.
-
- 39 - 42 a set of 4 Lions rampant on differing backgrounds.
