I use the GIFanimator.exe to string together some GIF images to make movies. Here's the instructions on how to use it. If you need the GIFanimator.exe program just send me an email and I'll send it to you. larryfulkerson2002 (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Alternately you can download it from here:

I think this should be stickied or in the FAQ.

I found a freeware program that does the GIF thing, and it's more to my liking than what Larry uses, but his method works well.

It's called Beneton movie GIF.  Used with Irfanviewer it makes things pretty easy, as you can batch convert and rename your screencaps.

One of the best uses for the animated GIF is as a hook for getting people interested in TOAWIII.  Seeing the sweeping advances makes anybody with a remote interest in military gaming want to try it.
