Wow! Thanks to Malurous for the nomination and for the kind words about my AAR. As I've mentioned elsewhere it's kind of spiralled out of control from a supposedly short here's-some-cool-stuff-that-happened-in-my-game to a much longer and more in-depth piece.
Thanks to everyone else for their comments. I now have the tricky task of choosing a successor (and of writing another AAR update - you can blame Vicky 2 for the delay this week!).
