Unit Graphics

[old banshee]

Hello everyone,
I am interested in doing some unit graphics for FoG It would be for the crusader armies. There are a couple of things I would like to know.
1) Why is their 12 images of unit as there are only 6 facings?
2) Is the angle of the unit images crucial?
Here is something I knocked up just to get an idea.
It is one of my figures.
Does anyone know if anyone has done anything like this?
All the best
Frank

Can't answer your question, but your example looks great.

That figure looks great!

As for the in game graphics: 2 guesses on why 12 images:
1 the other 6 were "in case" they decided to have more than 6 facings...(unlikely as that would be quite complicated)
2 I think its used to have a kind of "animation"... when a unit moves it does appear to "wiggle" Try it with 6 graphics but just duplicate the other 6 and see how it looks!
