when your done, you should compile it as a big book and post it all together so everyone can read it.

Yeah I've been thinking about doing that, the only problem is the massive file size. The JPGs are over a meg each and they're not idea cos they make the text messy. Exporting it direct to PDF gets a nice result but it's like 50MB for a 20-page segment without downsampling the images. I'll have to give it some thought.

Anyway time for a little weekend Armenia action with...

Chapter 5: The Siege of Mazaka

Part 1: Who'd be a peltast?......Part 2: Who'd be a Hillman?......Part 3: Incursion
......

.............................

........................

Part 4: Who'd be King of Pontus?......Part 5: Aftermath
..........

Also, I've just been looking through my notes from the campaign (up until the point where I accidentally deleted my savegame, so that I have to replay the last quarter of it), I find that I still have the coollest RTW battle I have EVER played, which is coming up in a few [game] decades' time
