Status: offline 		Is it possible right now to print maps in a campaign? I know that when the map becomes larger, like in Version 2.0 patch, and you need a lot of turns to complete the battle, it would be nice to have some kind of a plan to work with. This would be enchanced by having the ability to print whole area maps on the fly by using some kind of a short cut key and print the map to an 8 by 11 sheet of paper for planing and for later reference. This would let us behave more like real battalion comanders and draw arrows on maps that actually mean something. :-) Panther. Ps By the way exellent work so far.

Status: offline 		The only way I know would be to zoom out all the way and take a series of screen shots. Then you could compile them into one map. Jon Johnson (aka Night Crawler) one of our video gurus, did that for me with Betio. I could not get a screen shot of the island complete. So I took 8 screen shots and he put them together with Paint Shop Pro, I think. I take screenshots using Hypersnap. Then I open them in PSP and fine tune them. Unfortunately "print screen" does not work well in SPWAW. Thank you for the kind words. They are appreciated..

Status: offline 		Thinks WB, I like nice looking maps. I will not even play some scenarios becouse I dont think the map is will done. A good map really adds to a battle and makes it more fun. Just waiting now for the large ones in the patch so I can start on some more.

..hey - don't right-click on it, use the left button. In my case (Neetscape 4.6) at least it opens a new window nevertheless and loads the graphic there. Right-clicking didn't work for me Arralen [This message has been edited by Arralen (edited 06-22-2000).]

Status: offline 		You are right, Drake. As you know I have stringent standards for maps. No computer generated maps, and no sloppily done maps hopefully will ever come from the Raiders! We don't play that! A good map is the first step to a good scenario. And you never have step two without step one Keep up the good work!
