I've enjoyed seeing the action unfold bootlegger

Thanks for the write ups - and the annotated images. Like Slick I would not have guessed MS Paint!

You're most welcome.....I had to put a hold on the AAR over here as I was posting the other over on FB. (Which btw the game is getting a good look and very positive comments)

The board members asked if the graphics I add came with the game!!!

I can only wish.....

So, is Matrix moving AAR’s and discussion of this game to Facebook?

Is there anyway you can stop posting this AAR? I may actually spontaneously combust with excitement before this game is released. [:)]

Hello Duck Doc
No, we're not moving discussion of Desert War to facebook, but some forum members are discussing etc. the game there

Thanks, good to know.

So, can one join the group on FB without a FB account (I guess it would not be possible)?

I don't think so (I'm not a facebook user either!)

How do you do the screen shots and post to the thread?

Here's how to post an image to the forum.

* Image files need to be a jpg/jpeg file and be 200kb or less.
* Recommend a width no larger than 800px.
* The embedded image will NOT display in Preview; it'll show up at the bottom of your post--when you post.

Thanks. How do you take a photo image of the game screen?

1. Press the Print Screen button on your keyboard.
2. Open your favorite image editing software.
3. Select File/New and paste from the clipboard.
4. Save as a jpg/jpeg file.

I'm guessing by your question, that you don't have a favorite image editing program. I've been using Hypersnap for years--it's a great program--but it isn't free. I'm not sure if Microsoft Paint is part of Windows anymore (The Old Last Resort). Let me do some research and see if there's a screen snap program that is free, takes and holds multiple screenshots, allows basic editing and allows you to save a jpg/jpeg that can be posted to the Matrix forum. More to follow...

Greenshot looks like it might fit the criteria listed above. Here's a short YouTube tutorial:

My favorite is Hypersnap. I use it alot--but I have reasons to. It's great for capturing bug issues, preparing AARs, game manual illustration, etc. Best feature for me is I just hit the hot key and move on--I don't have to stop what I'm doing and process the image. I can build a catalog and come back to my game snaps later. Get Hypersnap here:

I'm sure other folks out there have some better ideas.
