Beta of Battle of Ipsus is up.

Let me know how it turned out for you. I just have the 25:1 version up. For those of you with slower computers there will be a 40:1 version. That will probably go up later this week when I am less busy and have more energy.

Enjoy all the elephants.

Edit: The smaller version is now available. Hope you enjoy it.

A few of those shots would be voteworthy.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll think about it, but I don't know if it would be fair to the other contestants if I used images that have already been posted. After all, I am a gentleman.

Anyway, the smaller version of the battle is now available for those of you who cannot handle 6,500-7,000 models on the field.

BTW, there was this really good moment when Demetrios was crushed under a falling elephant, but I wasn't fast enough to grab the shot. Antigonos also died, but from being thrown by an elephant. Too bad I couldn't have gotten those shot!

Come on! Some has had to have played this by now... my ego needs stroking... someone stroke my ego.
