Hey Tim, did you use any references for your expansion era Muslims besides the various Osprey books?

[Timoleon]

Yes, http://www.dbaol.com/armies.htm which are mostly based on the WRG titles of the 70s and are freely accessible. Some Osprey titles are rewrites of the WRG materials by the original authors themselves, and the illustrations are often (wonderful) elaborations on the original sketches. De Bellis Multitudinis material http://www.byzant.demon.co.uk/dbm.htm is good for refference.

gimme the png previews back

Curt, Drew, can you find out from the powers-that-be why we can't view png's anymore? Thanks.

An easy way to display images is to upload the files as normal using the 'Manage Attachments' tab. Once the file has uploaded in the pop up box look for the third section down where it says "Current Attachments (2.6kb)". Click on the uploaded file (written in blue) and you will either go to a separate page or a new page will open with the image in it (depending on your browser settings). Copy the page URL and then go back to your post and click on the 'Insert Image' tab (the yellow box with the two gray mountains/pyramids) and paste the copied URL into the text box. The uploaded image will be displayed. Sounds long winded but try it once and you should find it is pretty quick to do.

Be careful about displaying bitmaps using this method as it makes for slow browsing for members with slow connections.

I apologize if you already know all that.

Useful info, thanks mate

Dumping the graphics I have altered/spliced over the years for my own purposes (various forum games), in case these are useful to anyone else:



I can put these onto the standard pink diamonds if anyone really wants. Some very minor editors included. In fact some untouched Fairline originals may be in there by mistake. I certainly didn't make anything from scratch

[Timoleon]

These units are brilliant!

[McMonkey]

Nice one Atze Added to my archives so no doubt a few of these will crop up in scenarios one day!

Ptolemaic troops


A couple of second-line native Egyptian troops. A result of the general call to arms before the battle of Raphia, their part in that battle saw them taking a more important role in the late Ptolemaic armies. A thureophoros and a phalangite here.

[McMonkey]

Excellent units! These will enhance the uniqueness of Ptolemid armies. I may well find a slot for the Phalangite in ACIII

Early Achaemenid skirmisher. Based on a Montvert book figure.

[McMonkey]
