Single is winning, but I vote double.

Doesn't matter I'm buying them either way.
Is that your first post Mr Hobbyist? If so, welcome to the Forum.

Might I congratulate you on your intelligent decision to join this collection of the errudite, the talented, the knowledgeable and me.

It's a forum that repays constant attention. There's always someone who will post "a picture of my first efforts" that will have you snapping yoiur brushes in frustration. Then there are those who will pique your interest by unearthing some long forgotten campaign, and the good souls who post battle reports with supporting ilustrations that get the gaming juices flowing. Then there's me.

There's a friendly atmosphere, with what could be described as sone good natured joshing, and there's always someone who will support and encourage and offer positive criticism. Then there's me.

Welcome. Enjoy.

Just to be clear, what do you mean exactly by table header?  Just the title for that particular table, or something else?

What Ian said. The header info for the unit data 'Army lists', so Troops, Arm, Move, AT, AP etc should be on top of each page. Really helpful when a list covers more than one page.

Don't you have a graphic designer helping you ? (for money, I mean ?)
Wouldn't it be more efficient to use his pro experience ?

Did I mention I am a graphic designer ?  :D

Graphic designers are expensive...! 

I usually do all the graphic design myself, normally just flyers and magazine adverts, so this is a bit of a bigger project!  I normally work with Photoshop but I've just started using InDesign and I'm slowly getting used to how it works.

Be sure to check your marging and some other technical stuff before sending it to print.

Heck, I can have a look at it for free if you wish.

Thanks for the offer, I'll have a look once it's complete.  I'm fine with the margins for print and stuff, no worries there.  Warband came out fine, so I hope we'll be OK!

If you'd spent less time cocking a snook at the Cambrians, your voice might have been heeded in this debate.
