The Loose Association of Wargamers

It may be Southern Europe next, with a read across to America/Mexico? Certainly it’ll work for my TWI and Garibaldi dalliances.

Doug, I assume you’ve seen the video?

I haven't bought it yet but will do. It does say its a Northern European set so expectations firmly set. Of course Dawns and Departures (possibly the best campaign supplement I've ever bought) doesn't need the artwork - you can knock your own up with pen and paper really quickly if you don't need the prettiness.

Thanks Chaps, I was aware of the video, but he just says he creates boxes (aka tiles) in Powerpoint, which is entirely unclear. Unless he's referring to text boxes? Maybe I am overthinking this, as I use Powerpoint all the time - maybe he does just mean text box...

whats in the product ? is it JPG files ?

Yes

you can import JPG files straight into PPT then and then (looking at the way Rich seems to use it) put it into landscape mode and arrange the images into a grid

It is JPG. I dropped them into an 8 by 3 table in my DTP program. Looked nice but odd as my dice rolling was as bad as usual. Looking forward to the Southern Europe set for Biscuit Warfare.

PM sent.

I'm still not getting it.. there are a thousand ways to load an image into Powerpoint, but none of the terms Rich uses are actually relevant to Powerpoint. Powerpoint doesn't use tiles, and the only 'boxes' are text boxes. Plus Powerpoint is designed for a single landscape presentation and he's doing stuff in portrait.

I'd be better off doing it on word with a standard table template.
