best guess is that the scale unit is not to scale :lol:

EdThomas wrote:I got to thinking the answer for the harbor defense might be angle guns. ThenI discovered what appears to be a scale in the lower left corner of the Gorath Bay map. Using photoshop I cut the scale and put it in in several places on the Bay and realized that either the Bay is huge or the scale represents something other than miles. For example, the waterfront in Queen Zhacklyn's harbor is more than 30+ scale units long. Even if the scale is in kilometers the waterfront's well over 18 miles long using a kilometer as .6 of a mile. Anybody got any thoughts on what the scale unit is?! :?

Ah, Ed! I see.

Actually, I don't, but that's fine.

To be honest, I'd just like an update on how Mr. Weber is doing. I've been dealing with the declining health of an elderly relative lately and hearing about someone who is on the mend would be a terrific change of pace.
The book will be along, but knowing the author is better would be even nicer news. Like most of us (I suspect) I read several of Mr. Weber's other series and I hope he will have a chance to write many sequels and supplements for them. As well as take us on many other adventures to imaginary places that may still be floating in his mind for entirely different adventures. But he needs to be healthy for that, and that's were I hope he and his family and friends are concentrating.
I'm still smarting over the loss of Terry Pratchett. I'm hoping David is getting better, especially the cataracts and eyes.
Sorry, getting Maudlin. Been dealing with medical affairs and such for the past week. It's starting to show a bit.

On a purely unrelated note, how do you all insert those little smiley/expression faces into your postings? For the life of me I can't seem to figure it out.
