Combat!
Hey there--
The preview articles continue over at the FAR WEST website. Today's entry features an overview of the combat system!
http://intothefarwest.com/2012/05/14/a-glimpse-of-combat/
The article features another new piece by Rick Hershey, which I've included below. Well, OK, it's about half of a piece -- a close-up of a larger image which will appear in the book.
Back to work. I've still got a bunch to do -- and later this week, I'm headed to my oldest daughter's graduation from college, which means I'll be spending time with my laptop in the back of a van as it heads across country! No distance, nor discomfort, nor parental duty shall stay this rider from my appointed task!
