    Default Feb 2019 Challenge: The Battle of Gordion

    Naima has commissioned me to create a map that shows a battle involving 3 armies, a fortified hilltop town and a crumbling great wall. As most of you know this is well out of my comfort Zone, but that is the point of these Challenges. I am going to give it my best Bogie effort and we will see what happens. Thankfully we have a little extra time on this one.
    Here is the actual commission brief that Naima gave me.

    omg! two great minds think a like! I just added that to the challenge suggestions yesterday... or the day before! But hey, Bogie... I know you will come up with something great! And you are right, these challenges are to get us out of our comfort zone. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to pull of an observatory at the top of my wizards tower. I may actually have to make a symbol or two!

    Damn, Naima, no offense but I'm very relieved that you're not my partner I could never wrap my brain around something like this! Of course, I haven't gotten my brief from Dan yet, so maybe I'll be in for something even more difficult...

    But seriously, Bogie, good luck with this. I'm sure you can pull it off!

    Sorry , I didn't thought could be so difficult ... my intention was something on this level http://www.theartofbattle.com/?s=mongols , not super complicate , but more informative map , actually at least 3 with the phases of the battle, of course the more detailed informative and nice the better ...
