Tactical Map creation


Recommended Posts

To all the scenario makers I have a question. While I think I have mastered the art of putting together a scenario, I am still at a loss on how to create the tactical maps that look like those which came with the game. I have been taking a screenshot of the board, then drawing on it. This seems to work fine for small maps, but is really bad for large ones.

How does everyone else do it?  Thanks for the help!

I do all of my graphics in powerpoint sort of like  this - FRAPS screenshot.  Import as picture on to a slide and crop it as required.  Annotate and add arrows/symbols as necessary.  Copy and paste into paint.  Resize to the required size and save as .bmp.  Import into the mission.  Examples of this approach as follows:
