That's a really well presented and nicely laid out manual IS, nice job! :thumbup: It made a very interesting and easy to follow read, and was very informative. I'm sure this will be a good help to all the army builders out there in deploying their troops. :classic:

Thanks for putting this together ImperialScouts. I really enjoyed reading it and looking at that whole regiment of Bluecoats marching.

Thanks! It was a lot of work and took more than four hours to do. I'm happy with the result, though.

Have you ever considered turning this manual in a PDF, Imperial Scouts?

It would be another method of distribution and would allow more people to view it.

It's not that hard. You can do it with Microsoft Word and a free plugin like FlashPaper.

Although Word 2007 and 2008 might be able to save directly to PDF, since I never bothered to upgrade past Word 2003 I cannot confirm this.

Looks amazing! It did take some time before you posted this though!
But thanks anyway, keep up the good work you're doing for the Pirates forum (and beyond).

If you can just get the information into Word format I can convert it for you.

I'd also recommend merging this thread with the actual Manual as it doesn't seem of great benefit having them as two seperate threads.

The original idea was not to clutter the Manual thread with posts. An idea pitched by Captain Green Blue Hair

Unfortuntely that idea hasn't been conducive in attracting the level of attention your manual deserves. It is somewhat of an inconvience to send people to another thread and then expect them to come back to this one to leave their comments. However, I'll let you decide how you want to do this.

Another issue might be load time. The thread is already loaded with pictures. Extra posts might make the first page really slow to load. Depending.

Not sure what to do, though.
