A Bridge too Quar
« on: January 31, 2025, 03:31:51 AM »
A couple of weeks we did a rematch between the forces of Earth (British) and an alien coalition comprising my Selenites, Vynnies flying Martians and Leadfool's long suffering Quar.  The was an aerial assault (mainly because I wanted to use my 28mm flyers) against a fortified bridge crossing (The Bridge Over the River Quar) held by the British.  The alien coalition attacked from both ends of the board and despite taking heavy casualties from the well fortified British were making good progress and once the Quar airborne assault began they seemed to be on the edge of victory.  However, the fortunes of war can turn quickly and once the USAF (United States Aeronef Force) made it's appearance over the battlefield things changed quickly due to the devastating effect of it's firepower on the alien forces.  The fight wasn't over yet because the Martians intervened using their own flyer to engage in a dogfight with the USAF while the Quar made a heroic but ultimately futile final attempt to capture the bridge. We called the game at this point and went out to pizza.   Sorry about the pictures.  Yahoo just "updated" my e-mail and the photos loaded this way.  I'll post the rest of them once I figure out how to do it correctly.

Once I had turned my head to the side, these looked very cool!

Strangely, as I am still stuck viewing on my phone, it was nice seeing the images strung across the phone. Still too small to see clearly, but nice to see in context.

Anticipating delightful 'nef action!

See?

I said it's good on my phone, and yours won't let you fix it now.

Sorry about that...

Throw the images into edit and crop slightly and rotate 90 degrees.  save image.  It should fix your problem.  Shooting Landscape will help.

I’ve taken the liberty of having a shot at altering one photo to make sure there’s not inherent problem. I just rotated it 90degrees.

ps: I made it a small image but that’s only because I was experimenting with it.

obviously the last one worked.  Resizing to smaller images might be the trick…the on the fly resize of a portrait pic the blog software here is getting confused as to what is top and defaults to landscape.
