Thank you for showing interest in my AAR and for the encouraging comments. I'm still a bit nervous about actually letting people read anything I write so it helped to calm me down a bit.

Just some answers first:
For Chirurgeon:
To be honest it was an accident how the pictures turned out . I used ACD FotoCanvas to cut up the pictures and they looked a bit dark so I clicked on something called AutoLevels that brightened them up a bit. The side-effect is that they look like paintings. At first I thought I had ruined them.

For CaesarAugustus:
I will post a double year just before the start of the chapter just like I do on my notes. I hope it is enough. If not just tell me and I will see if I can do something else.

Now I have a small present for all of you called Part II. Enjoy!
