Printing Scenario Maps with Poster Software

You've got a scenario map, and you need to create some hills. Is there some way to just print out the map in very large scale, so you can trace the outline of the hills you need to build? The Editor finds out...

Very cool, thanks. What rules?

I don't think there were any beechs on Omaha…

They had to line the bunkers with something and beech pannellings was apparantly the method of choice.

He told me his mother (a blonde) had checked it for him! The rules used were GHQ Micro Armour.

That looks great.

Just realised it's me that's the pl-onker here! Why does plo-nker get bleeped?

Great looking game. Thanks for posting!

I would have loved to play that. Very nice looking game.

Being a Frenchman, you could write that the allied sheep opened fire on the bitch, I would not notice the difference in pronunciation :-)

Great looking game. Where did you get the ships and landing craft from? They look superb. PS I was on Omaha beach a few weekends back. It's a very long walk from the waters edge to the dunes at low tide. I don't know how they made it in 44 getting across all that sand and being fired at. Respect Doods.

Ships are Trumpeter from Hannants. The Liberty ship is on this page- hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?keyword_search=ship&setPerPage=25&product_type_id=all_ships&product_category_id=102&search_direction=asc&save_search=1&pageID=1

Very nicely done …
BattlerBritain	09 Apr 2013 3:36 a.m. PST
Thanks for the link to the Liberty ship. Are the Landing craft from Scotia?
Empires at War	09 Apr 2013 10:48 a.m. PST
BattlerBritain The landing craft are from GHQ which are sold through Magister Militum, as are all vehicles and figures.
BattlerBritain	09 Apr 2013 11:27 a.m. PST
Thanks for that. I was after the LCT with the 5 Shermans in it. I didn't know that GHQ did those.

Very nice but I have never seen the English Channel with that shade of blue; more likely grey!
Jemima Fawr	09 Apr 2013 2:45 p.m. PST
Sorry Mick, couldn't help it! ;) Lovely game though – I particularly like the ships and landing craft.
Empires at War	10 Apr 2013 6:07 a.m. PST
My embarrassment is complete!!!
theskipman	10 Apr 2013 10:46 a.m. PST
that is one great looking game and terrain, it really works in 6mm as you get nicely inland for an in depth game instead of just on the beach

Checkout 'ronny 8664' on Ebay he makes excellent landing craft complete with infantry occupants (removable) and tank landing craft, and gliders etc Vietnam riverine craft too
