Not necessarily. With the plasma arcs, he is highlighting the hexes the plasma may face. So, while the half-hexes in question are indeed in arc, the plasma may not face that way. Ergo, the different color.

However, I will argue that the cyan boxes should be the other lighter blue color. The orange hexes match the "surround" color, so the cyan hexes should also match the "surround" color.

Regardless, the newest color scheme is much, much better. Very nice.

I'd recommend putting Federation Commander over both arcs.
I intend to split hte page along the line between the Fire arc / Plasma arcs adn laminate them back-to-back.

Durrently, the fire arc chart will be labeled _______Federation, while hte plasma chart will be labeled Commander________.

Unless you cut it off below the "Federation Commander" box. However, I am going to do another one with the comments above and see how it looks.

Have to admit, mjwest, changing the colors (the cyan) does look better.

Also, Tony, I did put the Federation Commander title over each. I also fancied it up a little with bevel and drop shadow.

I agree - I'll have a laminated copy with me for the Texicon muti-player game.

Thanks for creating this!

Wish I'd had a Firing Arc template 6months ago! The Craven Federation would be just dust beneath my disruptors now :!:
