[Marcus Caelius]

It occurred to me that I could use this to better model the manipular legions by dividing each hastati or principes unit of 80 into two maniples of 40 with a gap between them as follows:

xxxxxxxx into xxxx-----xxxx

I set the centre point of the unit to be half way between the two maniples on the front rank.

The first time i tried this, the units became invisible, so i thought perhaps I'd spaced the men too close together (only 10 pixels separate).

When i tried it again having doubled the spacing, the whole graphics display became unusable. The program didn't crash exactly, but became very peculiar.

Any suggestions here as to what I might have done wrong?

Can you show the tga?
