It occurs to me as I'm typing that these pictures have just gone far toward backing up Mr. Hutnik's contention that we need real pieces. Some of the recent variant pieces we've seen have been almost spectacular. I find the representative pieces, like the cannon, to be somewhat more attractive as pieces. The really abstract pieces are not always as instantly recognizable. Here, of course, they're obvious. I could be jealous quite easily here. :-) Excellent pictures. Thanks.
