Marine pieces II – the article!

sea-italy07 May, 2013

Almost a month ago I’ve promised thematic tourney dedicated to Marine pieces. Now it is really going to be announced very soon, but first I’d like to publish two more parts of the article by IGM Petko A. Petkov about Marine Pieces.

As you know, the 1st part of the article was “Do You know the Marine pieces? (Part I – Siren, Triton, Nereid)”. And now I’m happy to present you the 2nd part – about Marine Knight, Poseidon and Marine Pawn! For some time these pieces were implemented in WinChloe only, but as you know from the latest Popeye’s release 4.63 – all these pieces are just implemented in Popeye as well!

So, enjoy the article! –

I’d like to add also, that the 3rd part of this article will come very soon, and will be dedicated to Marine MAO, Marine MOA and Marine ship. Why these pieces? Mostly because they’re implemented in the both programs – Popeye and WinChloe. So, can be used by most of you I believe, and can be included into Marine TT.

As always I’m thankful to Mr. Petko A.Petkov for so interesting material and so big work 

and to Mr. Geoff Foster for English correction!
