Does anyone know of any software out there that can be easily used to create the kind of diagrams that we see in rulebooks? For example, I am trying to easily illustrate:
- a depiction of a unit;
- on a background with a couple of terrain pieces;
- with an arc of fire (or similar)shaded in; and
- with some explanatory text Cheers |

Battle Chronicler will do that, and it's free! link Also great for making scenario maps. |

With a little imagination you can use the drawing facilities in Word to do most of what you want. Saves having to import separate files to the document too. |
