i used indesign to plan it out, the grid was one already made that was available on wikipedia. when i figure out how to make my own grids, I'll have a lot more flexibility to make more puzzles in the future. basically this was just something I made to prove to myself that I could do it

Ok, I'm almost half done! This is tricky...

make sure to post any solutions in spoilers please!

This is as far as I'm able to go without internets. I might have another scan through and see if I can fill in a couple more.
Btw, I think the clue for 32 across is missing.
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/j2sSdB5.png) EDIT: 63 across is Ares 49 down is Costs

I refuse to believe anything other than "July" in 63 across. This, sir, is an outrage!
Honestly though- awesome crossword! I'm still missing a few... but hella fun all the same.

ive added clarifications that 6 down and 10 across are plural
|
man some of these are pretty hard 
|
+ Show Spoiler +Is 13 Down 'LSTS' ? I have no idea what that is, but it fits for me. Oh wait, if 10 across is plural, 'SSTS' ?
Also, bottom left is pretty hard. Think I've reached the extent of what I can do without Google.

I think this is all correct. Was good but a few too many acronyms which makes it really difficult to work out unless you know exactly what the answer is.

Which is wrong then, cause + Show Spoiler +ECO means economic round aka save-round, first rounds are called "pistol rounds" never eco, cause you NEVER eco on first round (you don't save) There is nothing mutual between Pistol rounds and ECOs besides having pistol. /rant from a CS player
