Will courier messages be presented in a historically accurate representation, such as on a sheet of lined paper with the message in a period font such as "Texas Hero" or will we still have the messages like TC2M where it looked like they were prepared on the headquarters typewriter and a piece of ragged edged parchment?

I know that Mark & Jim have come up with a completely new design for these, but I haven't had a chance to go over it yet. Knowing these guys, and with Eric tracking down fonts, I'm sure they will end up looking & playing much better.

The whole messaging system is different. We are still working out the specifics of the messages. I'm still trying to find information as to what kind of paper would be commonly used for battlefield orders. Kind of paper as in size, lined vs blank, preprinted form or not, etc.

In the course of your investigation maybe the people at Sullivan Press can offer some advice.
