Status: offline 		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

Status: offline 		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.
