Re: [DS] Ch*t (was [SG2] vehicle weapons vs. infantry)

Also, a friend of mine has written a program to draw chits and has an 
automated DS vehicle builder and an FT ship builder. You can find it on
my
website
http://www.geocities.com/arnoljos
Go to the S2 section, hit the utilities button and download. It's Win
3.11
and greater compatible, free and relatively small. If you have any
problems,
please e-mail me. I've found it to work great for scenarios at cons on a
laptop, especially with an external monitor and the resolution ramped
down,
The chit .BMP's are nice and big!
