Glubokii Boy Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hello... I'm currently working on a campaign for CMRT and i came up with an idea that i wanted my briefing screens to look a bit more 'old time'... I posted a few pictures of this in my WIP campaign thread and i got a request to do a small tutorial on how i did these pictures... I think the hastely, handdrawn feeling to these pictures fits better into the WW2 timeframe then the 'standard' tactical maps... If you to like these...Here is how i did it with only a few mouse clicks...using PHOTOBUCKETS picture editor... First...Make a basic 'handdrawn' tactical map in PAINT (or any other paint program...) - - - - Then load that picture into the EDITOR... - - - - - - - - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glubokii Boy Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 To be able to use the pictures in CM you will have to save the picture as a BMP file...I haven't been able to do it directly but simply open the picture in PAINT and save it as a 24bit BMP file... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 They should make it from the beginning step 1 in TACMAP 952 x 350 format, correct? I think it is a good system. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake_eye Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hand drawn small tactical sketch are perfect for a WW II scenario. Your map RepsolCBR is very clear and has all the information that a junior leader would need to defend and or attack with his company and or platoon. More, they are close to what was done at the time, when a map in the more detailed scale was not available. For example in Normandy a Michelin map was used, showing the villages and the roads. A hand drawn map was however done, since on it were marked the latest Intel about the enemy whereabouts , the paths, the sunken lanes and all information from scout patrols and observation that could be of some help. The only thing that might prevent me of doing a hand drawn map is, that I am not sure to do it as well as you did it. Pretty good job you did RepsolCBR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
