Gothmog, I am pretty sure that Tanelorn got his image from Warlords III.

Yes the cheating article has a bit of irony in it. As always, a good read

I figured it was probably a conversion. I just wanted to illustrate the concept without totally relying on 1 creator. I thought I had seen some others in the graphics thread, but I could not relocate them and that thread is simply too big to go through it 1 page at a time.

Cheating, wasn't that last issue?

Haha, you added my article? Oh dear me, I thought it was on a one way trip to dustbin land. (And the irony is not lost on me)

The other articles are good though.

The honour to be mentioned in an issue of SLM after finding the riddle last time.

Maybe I can come up with something for next issue.

How about offering a free 12 month supscription?

BTW, if anyone's wondering why I didn't have an article in this issue, it's because I hugely underestimated the amount of time I'd have to spend studying for my end of semester exams

Gotta say...another fine SLM issue.

RE: Unit trends - My take on the 'multiple-figure' unit icons is this; I like them. The only thing that bothers me about them is when the 'single-figure' icon is normal sized. In many cases the perspective is all off. One huge dragoon attacking a squad of tiny musketeers just doesn't "look" right. I guess I'm just anal about those things.

On the other hand, by using this perspective, one could create units of various sizes, thus giving the whole thing a more realistic look. For example, tanks and airplanes are much larger than soldiers. Goblins are ankle biters compared to men, etc. Could make for some interesting stuff.

Great work.

Wheeee-lah! I just noticed that I got a big mention in the SLM!! Thankyou thankyou Gothmog for my 15 minutes of fame

Promotion time: the scenario you playtested is still unreleased, due pretty much to the obscene amount of time I had to spend studying for exams this month. But if my loyal fans are lucky (I know I have some somewhere) it may appear as an early Christmas present sometime next month.

As for the units: thanks for the compliments Now I shall forever be remembered as the designer who came up with the multiple unit graphics (even though I originally got the idea from Vegard [author of the fine Casus Belli scenarios] and his work for John Ellis' Bonaparte update [which I helped playtest])

My only innovation was figuring out how to easily manufacture these units from a single base graphic, rather than laboriously drawing them from scratch. Its not actually nearly as hard as it looks... perhaps I may take up your challenge and one day write an expose for a future issue of the SLM.

Had I known earlier I'd have submitted some sort of preview of my new scenario to the SM.
When's the next one gonna be out (or what's planned?)

January-ish? We won't mind publishing a full-page ad of your scenario if that's too late for a preview.
