What do people use to post tactical diagrams? There are some photos (OK I can do that if my son brings my camera back from his school trip ...), some ASCII/code examples (not a diagram in my book and can't do angles - I always struggle with these). I experimented with Word drawing tools but there can be problems lining up units at angles and I have no idea if it imports or not.

However there have been a couple of examples of people using nice colour diagramson this forum - how do they do it?

I use Powerpoint and then save as an image, post on photobucket and follow the how to post a picture bit.

Very easy, draw them on any MS Office application like PowerPoint for example. Select all the shapes and export them as an image. Then post the image here. I can help you if you get stuck.

I am using some "top-down" images sourced from the web in openoffice (same as MS office just don't have to pay for it). They are fantastic. I am now using them as troop proxies to try out armies. Print, stick onto the back of self adhesive vinyl floor tiles and cut out - brilliant, they look at bit like 10mm figures (sort of) !
