To get them added to the post in the order you want, just click the + (plus sign) symbol in the photo preview, click each photo in the order you want and wait for the system to add it before clicking on the next one.

cog Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share #210 Posted March 14, 2017 Something new ... (Greg, I got it today) AOTS Battleships Yamato & Musashi - a revised edition. It is a rather hughe difference: 192 pages in the old vs 336 pages in the new edition. A lot of comparisons, both textual as drawings, between upgrades during the years of armament e.a., differences between Yamato and Musashi. In short: A lot of reading and eye candy (the rigging is more clear too, you might like that, Greg) It'll take me a week or two to get through this one ... Catch y'all later ... don't mind the silence, I'm immersed ... Cheers mtaylor, Piet, RGL and 4 others 7 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."
