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...

I too have recently sold off a massive 1/32 collection in WWII, about 1000 figures, and over 200 tanks, and other vehicles, plus scratch-built buildings, etc. Now moved to the US, and about to start on a small scale, in both senses of the word, WWII project, 1/72 Valient figures, a company of British, and Germans, for Normandy, and a new gaming table to push 'em round on. So i hope 1/72 is here to stay, I'm sure it is, I know a lotta players who love the scale.

ww2 1/72 ( or at least "20mm" ) has long been my scale of choice for ww2 skirmish.
Big enough for my model tanks to still look nice.
Small enough to be practical.

Of the 28mm stuff I've seen, only the Perry figures are acceptable.

Got rid of 20mm WW2 years ago, but now decided to collect it again as I have Weird Wars: World War Two for Savage Worlds, which uses a 1/72 groundscale for its maps (unless you want to print it smaller?) and any flats, counters and vehicle templates will have 1/72 scale art on them anyway.

So I've changed to save costs. My wargaming in WW2 is done in microscale.
