Ours is whatever camera happens to be on our SGI system. Not very high
quality, I think, though there are parameters I haven't tried yet.

I think it would be neat to have a camera mounted on a tripod and take a
picture after every move or shot. Then combine the pictures into an
MPEG movie so you can watch the flow of the battle. I suppose that it
wouldn't work out--a battle with a total of 12 detachments would have a
move and a shot per turn (maybe an assault move), so a 6 turn game would
only have 72 frames--not very long. You couldn't really see the models,
either, just the detachments. But I think it would be neat. The memory
wouldn't be so bad once it was compressed into an MPEG.
