Scen Design

[K K Rossokolski]

I've been building stuff for amusement for years, but have only the last year or two got into proper historical work. Canberra is a great city for info....the War Memorial (also a GREAT museum), National, ADC and ADFA libraries. Plus my own books. I love the new countries, and hope over the next while to put out some scens covering new ground
I like it all, particularly writing the blurb, but remain strangely tentative about actually putting my stuff on show. The great Guberman has strongly encouraged me recently, and I will follow his example of history first, and if it plays OK that's a bonus.
The main frustration, I find is the essential crudity of the hex map....one can only change direction of anything in 60 deg increments.
And if JP is reading this...love to see some more .map eyecandy, and perhaps a way to combine Terrain features eg Desert + Med would be great in parts of N Africa. Also wish the map elevation could be doubled or tripled.
Another wonderful lot of work done for the club in the Talonsoft days is a massive WWI orbat...what a grand addition if it could be used !!!!

BTW Huib...we have a bit of experience with deserts down our way. Often clear in winter, but any breeze picks up the dust. Summer, heat haze destroys acuity.

And another thing...a good time to raise the H2H Scenario Testing. Despite the efforts of many good men over the years, it remains broke. I know one reason, and Hawk Kriegsman knows another. Firstly,mine...... the acceptance requirements are absurdly high...we are talking about a bloody GAME!!!, not the acceptance test flying of the McDonnellDouglasGrummanBellConsolidatedVulteeBoeingLockheed FBRA-12345, FFS
I won't steal Hawk's thunder, but it has a lot to do with incentives, as I recall the last time this topic was aired.
