Just experimenting.

The file size from Vassal was stupid - 18+Mb, so I opened it with paint shop pro 7 and saved it as a jpeg to reduce the file. As you are well aware, my skills as a photographer leave much to be desired'

Bob, I've been using Paint Shop Pro 7 for about 20 years now! I do use other, more modern programs but PSP 7 is always my 'go to' choice.  8)

I've had it for a very long time as well. I don't use it for many things and only know some very basic stuff, but converting stuff to jpeg is certainly the thing I use it for most. It also opens tga files for some  (non wargaming) hobby work I do.

Going back a very long time, I used it to make quite a lot of mods for the original Combat Mission games using PSP7

So...while punching the counters for The Great Crisis of Frederick II I discovered the following three Crossing the Line counters. They look like they are meant to be a replacement for either missing counters or misprinted counters. If anyone who owns Crossing the Line would like them you are welcome to them, just let me know. First come, first serve.  8)

Its funny you should ask that, but I have a need for those very replacement counters.

I'd be more than happy to pay postage :-)

They are yours! PM an address to mail them to. Don't worry about postage, it is nothing at all like sending a package!  :D

I take back all those rumours I started about you.

...well, most of 'em anyway.

Arrived today, thanks very much, Mike.

I shall take a wee dram to toast you with as I know you a like a decent malt. Which one of these would you prefer?  ;)
