Hey Charles,

I am actually in the process of trying to make presets for your 12# variants.  I was a little confused on some of the pieces (I think some images represented different pieces as the different variants were listed).  I have made a list of what variants you listed and what I believe to be the opening setup of the armies.  Could you please look over what I have written and correct the inefficiencies?  Thank you.
