The Western Front in 1940

Just learnt how to make GiFs.
Testing, testing...



Hopefully this game will be the topic of a future AAR, but that depends on time.

How do you do that? I would like to use it in AAR with two pictures.

Well, obviously you need to have screenshots taken of the same map view to make it work, so in the above image its just three screenshots, all taken at the same zoom range and looking at the same part of the operational map.
Then you need to go in to Photoshop and do some trickery.
In that instance google is your friend, and I found a page which had helpful screenshots of what menu items to look at.
Basically it involves creating layers, and then you have to set each layer to stay on for a particular amount of time, then how often will it loop? (replay).
So this was a test, fortunately successful, I must have followed the instructions correctly.
I've realised this is a great way of not only showing the progress of a front, but also to show air-combat results.
Here's another one I've just created.

I'm really impressed by you folks that really can get around software and make it work, even for your hobbies!
Just awesome! [&o]

I'm lucky to manage my email and occasionally post here!

Thanks. Very nice!

I find this interesting showing land moves, attacks and movement after attacks.
