I don't think you can. Your best bet is to make some screen grabs and save them (print them out if possible) and try to recreate the map from scratch.

Okay, this is a kind of random idea, but bare with me:

Maybe if you save the game, (so you get a .cmb file) you could open it up in the scenario editor?

I stress that I have NOT tested this, but if the game doesn't "tournament lock" save games, you MIGHT just be able to pull it off, with terrain and units all preserved.

Any thoughts?

Sorry, but this doesn't work. The editor cannot open saved games in progress, despite them being .cmb files just like scenarios. I believe this is an anti-cheating measure to keep players from tweaking their forces in PBEM once battle is joined.

It would be nice, however, if there was a way to use the editor just to export the map, sans units, to a .cmb scenario file. Maybe in the future this will be possible.
