@fasthard thanks for sharing! Interesting idea to use 2 euro cent coins.

@The_Good_Captain Captain: OK - one of our players has a digital camera. If we take a photo of the Shogun and Conquest of the Empire gameboards, do you have any advice for them to turn out as best as possible? I’m thinking I lay them each out (separatley of course) on a table/floor and take a picture in good lighting, yet try to avoid shadows, etc.? Thank you!
-
@Vital-Signs in my experience, you don’t want lights above the board especially if the game board is clear coated (like the board for Revised).
Standing on two chairs helps.
-
@The_Good_Captain OK understood. We will give it a shot nd get back with you. Thank you
-
@The_Good_Captain Captain - we have taken digital photos of these (2) gameboards. How can we get the files to you for your review/opinion of the images’ quality, etc.? Thank you!
-
@Vital-Signs upload each file to media fire and send me the link. or email me at ryanvoz@yahoo.com
-
@The_Good_Captain OK Great - each image looks to be around 8MB. Is email OK with this size, or do you suggest mediafire? Thank you!
-
@Vital-Signs good point. if mediafire doesn’t work, use dropbox (it’s free). In either case, just email or post the links. Mediafire is quicker and easier imo. But dropbox is fairly straight forward as well.
-
@The_Good_Captain OK - here is the mediafire link with a folder for Shogun and 5 pics that we took. What do you think of the image quality, etc.? I may be able to use a higher quality image setting on our camera if you feel it would be more ideal, etc.

@The_Good_Captain And here is the link for Conquest of the Empire folder with 4 pics:

@Vital-Signs well done! which one did you want first?
-
@The_Good_Captain OK great - so do you feel the quality of the images are up to par? No preference at all on the order. Very much appreciated!
-
@Vital-Signs yeah they should work - i think you should be happy with the result. I will remove the board lines and crop and send them back to you. need about a month or so, maybe two with the holidays. I will post as soon as one is finished and then the other as soon as it is finished.

@The_Good_Captain 10-4 Captain. Thx again!
-
@The_Good_Captain Hello Captain - just following up to see if by chance you have had the time to make any headway on these maps? Thank you!
-
@Vital-Signs I have made some but not much. I use the free download program gimp and the clone tool in that program. thats about it. otherwise, give me another month and I might have conquest of the empire done.
-
@The_Good_Captain OK great. Thank you so much for this update Captain!
-
@The_Good_Captain Hello Captain - just checking back in with you to see if there has been any progress on these maps? Thank you!

I’m going to make a short video for you on how to do it. Its something I thought I would be able to do but I realize I just can’t anymore with the baby around.
But I will make and post a short video this weekend and link it here. It’s far simpler to do than I think most folks realize and so I can do that. Its not that its a complex process. Its more that its kind of a grind.
I’ll post the link here in a couple days. Sorry my dude - but I promise everything I’m about to show you is very simple and can be done.
