Graphic Files for the Maps

Post by Gerry4321 »

Hello All:

Just checking some of the scenarios and opened the Kharkov one. That is a cluttered map to me and it is hard for me to plan on screen as I scroll around etc.

Is there a way to access a graphic of a map so I could print it out and do some planning that way?

Thanks,

Gerry

Anyone please?

One only sees so much of the map on screen so I am really hoping I could access the maps separately and print them out.

Thanks,

What this game needs is an auto screenshot feature like what is present in Advanced Tactics Gold. It takes a beginning and ending screenshot of the entire map each turn.

You can bring up the briefing again at any time for an overview. The current version also has an X hotkey to get a zoomed out overview of the map which should help in planning as you say.

Hello:

The X hotkey did not work for me???

Also what does Add Map Pin do? (Permanent, how many, etc.)

Thanks,

Gerry

When I said current, I meant our dev version. It is not in the wild until the next release (which should be soon). Map pins are permanent markers you can place on the map. You can have quite a few of them (16).

I would really like something like this. Hit a shortcut key and it generates a graphic file of the whole map (configurable options could be map only. map + VPs, map + VPs and units....).

Take care,

Gerry
