scenario software

[desertraider]

HI

I'm looking for a software that I can use to make up scenario's for games and AAR, something that I can ad hills roads trees rivers etc and military symbols I believe there were two such packages. I think I asked this in the old forum, but gone now and I have lost the links, I appreciate any feedback from users of these sotware packages.

You can almost certainly do most if not all of what you need in powerpoint. Might have to design your own symbols tho'

In the Lardies 2014 Chreistmas Special there's an article on using Powerpoint. Apparently that's what they use for the purpose.

Then there's Campaign Cartographer https://www.profantasy.com/products/cc3.asp and a bunch of similar products.

Is it possible to find this somewhere?

I've used something called mappingboard - http://www.10mm-wargaming.com/2016/05/mappingboard.html

It was a bit fiddly to get the hang of but I was able to produce some good results with it.

I'm also a Powerpoint user for my battletop maps.

I have all my terrain features - mostly houses and tree bases - photographed with a digital camera (a basic one will do) re-scaled for the map (normally a 3 cm equals to 30 cm on the board).

Made a full file with all those elements, plus roads marshes and so on.... just a question of a couple of pre-made maps with the squares and dropping the elements on.....

I'm using an ancient version of Pagemaker for mine. The program is now over 10yrs old but serves as a basic vector graphics programme, with the advantage that I know how to use it

Perhaps this could be of some assistance for someone.
