Cool maps, how did you do those? [X(]

Most of them are straight from the WITP/Art folder, but the China one had to be pasted together. Simple use of Photoshop to desaturate the original layer (turn to b&W) then use the pencil tool to draw on the lines, then add the text. Nice thing about Phototshop is that when you save to web it changes it into gifs that are a good compression for the website. Sometimes you have to change the size of the pic, but thats a simple task. Took me about 30 mins to do the lot, but bear in mind that my job is educational computing so I'm quite into all this. Some of the pics take a bit longer to 'collage' together from a variety of sources. Still learning, but as with all computer packages, the more you use it the easier it gets. Cheers Roger

It is a well know fact thet hornets are particularly peaceable until disturbed when they can turn into very nasty opposition. You have been warned. [:-] Roger & Mike [image]local://upfiles/4633/4B5D5007C31B457AA3907487CE745E70.gif[/image]

Meanwhile our American cousins, who have so much technology they can afford coloured maps are pondering quite what the KB is up to....should we award a prize to the best answer? [image]local://upfiles/4633/043ECD1358284BB7855FC781AB82CCAF.gif[/image]

Where is KB heading next you wonder....[sm=00000959.gif] If only the task force commander had taken his instructions will the allies ever know where KB will strike next. [sm=00000939.gif][sm=sad-1361.gif][sm=Crazy-1271.gif][sm=00001746.gif]

Here we are in The Solomons and New Guinea. This area has seen some attention from the Mighty Empire of late. [image]local://upfiles/4633/E9DD2370018E42F68EA4D37AD3E26D96.gif[/image]

In China some cut and thrust, very much positional play here. Oops, notquite the right map!

As this is my first game playing as an Ally after six or so as japanese I have my own view of how well their side would appear to be progressing. Anyone else's views are welcome of course! Expect some correspondence from Sebastian and others in the near future. Roger [image]local://upfiles/4633/6D541F3CE7D34457BEE6EDD7E4FEC138.gif[/image]
