During modification of my manual. I noticed that things can get very cramped.
To keep a keen overview. Most rules are reserved to have only their own line. The whole manual is like this. But I changed one of the pages.
The rules on this page are more cramped now. And I feel that this is incorrect.
However, having the rules expanded back into the same layout as the other rules. Would mean that I have a big empty page in the manual.
I do not wish to have another chapter begin halfway on a page.
What would be best?
Accept the big blank page and try to expand the rules a bit more by using a different wording?
Or keep the cramped page as it is, as exception on the whole manual?
While it is a hobby game. I find it a bit tedious to provide examples in the main manual.
I got a separate document for examples. Because there are MANY possibilities to use as "example proofs" if you will. And providing insufficient might lead to confusion.
Still, I will add an example. But I have to be very careful to not add one that might create confusion at first. Perhaps I should add examples and make the '1' page into 3.
Each example builds up on the previous one if you will. Addressing every "new" rule that is added.
It will be a tough call. But I will try it. Once done, I could add pictures. One for each example, showing some soldiers etc as well.
The shown pieces. I got over 100 different designs. So the ones shown, need to be described as well if needed. That is what makes it harder. I need to get the reader into the battle situation if I add examples. Even, if it is only based on simple statistics.
