Your pics look great Zucker. What are you planning to put in place of those white frames with crosses btw?

Thank you for your kindness in sending these pictures.
I imagine that they will be most useful for illustrating certain events. It is interesting that you have chosen some of the well known coloured photographs - it makes one wonder whether we should stick to our convention of having depictions of real life events in black and white for the sake of uniformity, or have a few in colour as well.
I also attempted to make some battle events, and made a picture for aerial combat:
Not bad, huh?
Perhaps a wee bit too blue?
Which one?
I´m quite pleased with this one...
Now with improved hourglass!
Descided not to add black border to the ring, as it made it look really, really bad.
I´m not altogether pleased with this one, since I had to use advancing russian troops instead of retreating. (because of propaganda purposes, photos of retreating troops from the period are extremely scarce)
(couldn´t find any credible 'ambush' picture)
What do you think about these?

Do you not possess a graphics programme with a 'crop' button?
I do, but in order to fix the shape, we´ll see approximately the heads and upper boides of the soldiers, meaning that no-one will understand what this has to do with a strategic withdrawal.Allenby said:

Well played Allenby, well played.

(could you please make the picture a bit more red?)Anyway, which one of the assault pictures do you folks prefer?
Blue? There´s a lot of thing I´d call that picture (wine-red is one of them) but blue?Shadow Knight said:
Um I was refering to the one where you asked if it was a bit to blue.Zuckergußgebäck said:
Yeah and I said I like the first one, it has a tree.
Then I replied to your comment asking whether the second picture in your post of pictures was too blue, I agreed. Sorry for the confusion.

The retreat panel is now suitably red.
And try and sort out that hourglass. It looks a bit iffy.

Zuker you done a nice work with those pictures. However I prefer for assault, the second pic. IMO it's the best since the first one is too blurry and has a bad contrast.
Zuckergußgebäck said:The hourglass is in my opinion, not iffy anymore.
Yes, it looks quite good.
I would prefer that the hourglass had more rounded edges, but the one you have drawn shall certainly suffice.
