They do take a bit more work to prepare, though. I'm just using MS Paint for the annotations; nothing fancy!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-59829657981783509442014-05-21T14:02:39.909+01:002014-05-21T14:02:39.909+01:00Very fun read and nicely annotated.

I also liked how you underlined the models in different colors -- miniatures in photos sometimes get lost in the terrain.
