If you can afford it the Cintiq monitor (made by Wacom) might be just the thing. It's an interactive pen display that allows you to dispense with the tablet and simply use the pen right on the screen! More info at: http://www.wacom.com/cintiq/
Illustrator is vector-based so anything you create with it can be rescaled without any loss in quality. Photoshop is pixel-based and resizing anything can cause problems. Also, the Illustrator files tend to be much smaller.
For discussion of the operational air war system as represented in Downtown and Elusive Victory.
Group to discuss boardgame Map Making.
Where amateur and published map makers can discuss and assist each other with techniques and methods used in creating boardgame maps.
(not a group for arguments about what map style or software app is best)
Too true. While Panzerblitz was my first game, it was SPI's Tank! that introduced me to the competition and their modern era games. These excited me even more than the WWII games. It was many years, and many traded away classics such as Punic Wars a…
Sixth Fleet was my first S&T game, too! My buddy and I really liked the novelty of the combat > move sequence of play and the excitement of the opening turns when the Soviet player's setup was revealed and we'd see if it was enough to deliver the ea…

No they're not, not Super Bowl winners. Some members of the defense need a major attitude adjustment too, especially about standards and excuses.
They are really a not very good team this year.
The Steelers used an onside kick today, and almost snatched defeat from the jaws of mediocrity too. It's a big reason why Roethlisberger could throw for 500 yards and still need the last play of the game to win, by one point.
Hold the line by Worthington games. A GREAT simple revolutionary war game, similar to Command and Colors, but uses Action Points instead of cards. You can move any unit you want with your points. (Similar to Conflict of heroes)
I'll be good and not ask my question again!
