I will say though that due to the scope of the game and the limited number of counters occasionally the named leaders for the Gallic tribes are a bit out of place in a given scenario. Being a Caesar freak I couldn't take that and decided to make up my own counter for brave Dumnacus. I'd taken a counter scan before cutting the counters out, so used Microsoft Paint to do a bit of wizardry and ta-da! What a genius!
I then did the same thing with the obverse, saved and printed out.
I was all very proud of myself until I realised that as well as saving the doctored images separately, I'd stuffed something up and saved the improvised ones in place of the original counter scans, too. Ta-da! What an idiot!
There's a fine line between stupid and, uh, clever, as Nigel Tufnel and David St. Hubbins so famously said...
That does look like a fine game!
ReplyDeleteTrial and error means there will be errors, so don't be too tough on your self! ;-)
Geez, Monty! Talk about the voice of reason ;-)
DeleteI'm looking forward to your review of the game. I've never heard of it, and now I desperately want it.
ReplyDeleteI've blundered in that way enough times that doing a "save as" as soon as I open a file is now second nature. I'm trainable but it sure does take a lot of pain.
The funny thing is I was telling myself to be careful and thought I had been... Just goes to show that technology can get you every time!
DeleteThe game is quite good. Has taken me a while to see the subtleties, but they're there. It's pretty cheap too, provided that you don't have to pay shipping to Japan!
Interesting game - look forward to your review. It is all to easy to stuff things up when meddling with the digital dark arts!
ReplyDeleteToo true :-)
DeleteThe dark arts indeed!
Boardgamegeek has scans of most of the counters
