Quite a few actually, and Nigerian too. I think the make up of the 81st were raised in Ghana (Gold Coast), Sierra Leone, Dahomey, Gambia, and Togo...all British colonies.

Very cool pics with the narrative! I've seen people post pics in YTube vids have you learned how to do this?

Yes I can do that. I have the editing software and skills to do that also. It is quite a bit of extra work. The recording of a game turn takes a bit of prep before hand to make sure the audio and visual is working right. I found its essential to test before every episode. Post production and processing plus backup has to be done which takes time. To add clips (like a series of images plus narration is fairly simple but time consuming.

Then there is uploading and scheduling on Youtube. As an example: To do a straight game turn episode of say 45 minutes, add about 30 to 40 minutes of the above pre and post recording tasks. In other words a lot of time. Adding tail end clips could be done, but I found that a simpler task would be to add the link of this forum thread to the episode description. That not only brings people in to see the images I have posted, but exposes folks to the SC-Pacific Matrix Forum at large.

Lastly...(like now and you are aware), I have usually 3 different YT productions going...which is daily most times. Plug that into a busy day of other tasks like domestic chores, errand running, and wife management , and well I probably would not have the time to add in any kind of image episode clip, though its an interesting idea. Might be manageable if I was doing one production only. In other words, I won't entirely dismiss the idea.
