Another update.

I find if I move the cursor just up the left hand side, the image goes inside the map rectangle instead of going the other direction so sort of draws correctly.

This web site lets you compose the appropriate symbols for unit and equipment using the NATO/UK MS2525 and APP 6 Standards documents.

This site has several files you can download that provides NATO and other symbols/vehicles/planes/etc.

And this web site has many diagrams of ships, ground vehicles, and aircraft in constant scales.

I myself frequently use Brute Force and Ignorance (BFI) to get through my map making!

Sue,

I'm just agog! I really like the night time one, but I understand the limitations. But what about cloudy/dreary effects. You know those days with slate gray, low-lying clouds, the sun unable to burn through the clouds. The wind falling not up to down, but north to south in 40 mile an hour winds, with 6 inch clumps of snow hitting you in the ear when you take off your helmet, making you lose your balance and falling off your tank into the deep carpet of snow, thus avoiding injury?

Some people see fun in the snow. All I see is misery (and Missouri [a state I dislike]) and foot slogging.

I will try to be there for this. Right up my alley and my needs.
