I am baffled why this product is listed under terrain. Does ANYONE on this SITE POLICE the publishers or can they pretty much put their products in ANY category they like. This is not the only offender but surely the most noticeable!

I too have no idea why it would be in terrain, and have only just noticed it, I shall attempt to put this right asap. Thanks for flagging it up.

I ticked Maps/Terrain - Maps, as the booklet contains battle maps. It therefore must also still come up in Terrain, programming, nothing more.

It would alter the layout a little. Up through Brunanburh, the layout works well, with text on the lefthand page and the battlefield graphic on the right. Because Brunanburh is 3 pages long, the battles from Maldon on don't have the text and battle on facing pages. I'd suggest a full-page graphic after the 3rd Brunanburh page to keep battles on facing pages. It would help to have some guidance on forces (e.g., relative point values) of each side so that you can differentiate between a small elite force and a larger force with a lot of militia.

I take your points onboard, I hadn't thought much about page layout as it was an epub and I would expect people to just print off or look at what they wanted, but your suggestion makes sense.

I did mention at the beginning that probably the only elite troops around at this time are the main characters bodyguards/companions, apart from these there are no elites, most 'armies' of this period would have average troops in them for wargaming purposes as they tended to be professional warriors. The Romano-British, the Saxons at Maldon off the top of my head and from the readings of the scenario should have some milita/general fyrd types, this may also be the case at Fulford. I kept the info general as it is almost non existent historically and so that any rule set can be used. I hope this helps.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
