Thanks all gents - appreciate the comments.

I think this new "comic-book" style suits all of our busy lifestyles.  o_o

Its brilliant. Grimm once started it here at the Forum ages ago. He used the comic style for the game reports of our Pulp games.
What program do you use ?
I would like to have this device too.
Thank you
Björn

Thanks Björn. It is actually just Photoshop. The comic speech bubbles and scrolls etc are all standard objects that come with Photoshop. It is amazing what you can achieve with PS using layers and some simple techniques. I can go into more detail if required mate.

Well we are yet to play the conclusion, but hopefully it won't be too far off. Our Indostan games have always been plagued by real life illness, bad luck and cancellations although - the curse of many games I know.

Thanks again gents.

It took me longer to do then the long texts as well. So not sure whether that's a win for me or not.  o_o

Great idea with the Palanquin, consider it stolen - and to assist with the theft, could you tell us who makes the bearer figures please?  :D

Thanks Dr De'Ath - the bearers are from the Wargames Foundry Dhoolie set. I'm not sure if they are currently available, as I've had mine for years.
