A pic after a lot of words

After so many posts without a picture, my blog seemed to me a bit... empty.
So I decided to post the above (quite blurred) picture, i.e. what's going on in my lab.
Do you recognize anything?
Yes, it's an "area" wargame (squares, for sure).
No, it's not Napoleonic.
Yes, bases are not flocked (yet :-).
And for those of you who have sharp eyes.... yes, there are 4 units used as proxies (I still have to base the originals).

After a long silence..

...here I am to announce what I'd like to do in the coming weeks.
I'm going to post some Design Notes, divided by topic, to give all of you a sort of "backstage" for different aspects of the game.
Why am I saying I'd like rather than I will? Because - as the long silence of the subject may suggest - my time is very limited at the moment as my everyday job is absorbing all the (limited) resources of my brain.....

Done!......

I reviewed the final English version of DS LB, and passed to Andrea the last (few) corrections.
Now it is just a question of putting all pieces together and the game should be released.
I WON'T say when this time :)

SDS in Colorado

An interesting link to Dan's blog, showing how to get a lot of people involved in multi-player SDS.
Dan is about to organize a campaign, and after that a Tournament.

Great job, Dan!

This evening...

...I'll make a final check on the English text, then I should give Andrea the green light for the release. A few more adjustments and we should be ready.

OK we're late...

The pagesetting of the English version is requiring more time than anticipated. Andrea has to shift all illustrations, as English is about 20% shorter than Italian. But we are almost there....
Please bear with us.
