Malta - Scorpion

[Stuart Thiessen]

If there is no contact with the head, we would simply remove the "star" or
"asterisk" and it would represent the same thing? Or is it better to use
Charles' approach to do an overhead view? I realize there is more than one
way to spell.  I'm just curious about advantages and disadvantages.
Charles, what prompts you to use an overhead instead of a behind the head
approach?  And when we move to overhead, does the shading change to reflect
front to back as opposed to regular receptive?  I noticed Charles wrote his
with a half/half.  I would have expected it to be totally filled in?

Thanks,

Stuart
