These are to 'hold the fort' while you buy/paint units, or want to try out a new period. These are 11 Armoured Division, Sept 1944, 1 base=1 Platoon- for SH, Korps commander and BKC link |

When I open the document, the counters just have really big numbers in the middle? |

I get the same thing. I think this is because Last Hussar has a font that we dont – he is using 'Map Symbol' font and if, like me, you don't have that font, it comes out in a default font, which in my case in Times New Roman. I would suggest posting the font used on the web site so we could download it and use the files. Aside from that, good idea, and I started doing the same type of thing for WW2 Ships only last night. |

Last Hussar, Create a PDF of the file and then we can see the symbols. You have a word document and it will display differently if the user does not have the fonts you do. John |

Blast. Like I said I cant PDF- the programme misaligns it all. I embedded the font, which should have solved the problem- I knew what would happen otherwise. but obviously something has screwed up. I couldn't test it, as I have the font! |

I can't put the fonts on the site. I have however tried something with the embedding. Also a JPG file which you can save or copy/paste |

There is a free, downloadable set of map symbols fonts available at mapsymbs.com . They were created by a serving British Army officer. |

Unfortunately they are not the ones I used, so will likely be mapped to different keys. Let me know your Email, and I will email the TT fonts. |
