I am messing with them as well in word but cannot figure out how to actually size the picture for the entire width of the cell. You sir must be using a different program _________________ Check out wargaming including game reviews, miniature reviews, and AARs for other games at:

Just Microsoft Paint. That is the only software I am using to make them.

You know Echo if you want help I have worked on my own variation of cards (its very similar to yours but I cannot get the darned picture to fill the entire cell) and I would be more than happy to help out with what I have. You are still the man though and yes I totally stole your idea D _________________ Check out wargaming including game reviews, miniature reviews, and AARs for other games at:

I wouldn't mind if you wanted to help. The way I do it is this:
Using microsoft paint I cut the frame for the picture out of the template. Then I hunt the internet for pictures that might work. If the picture is larger than the frame it is not an issue but if it is smaller it doesn't really work well.
Then I open the picture of the vehicle in paint. Immediately I go image > and uncheck the draw opaque option. Then I eyeball it at first and figure out how much smaller the graphic would need to be to fit in the frame. Then I:
Image > Resize/Skew
Under this I put in the percentage of the current graphics dimensions that I think would match the frame picture frame for both horizontal and verticle. Make sure your percentages for both values match or the pic can start to look weird. Once I get it close I then cut and paste the pic frame into the pic. If the picture does not fit in the frame I then cut the frame back out, resize the pic again ad then paste the frame in again until I get as good a fit as I can. Once I get the pic fittinginto the frame properly I then trim any excess parts of the picture out eaving only the frame ad the picture inside the frame. I then copy that and paste it into the vehicle template, lining up the border lines and such. Then for the text I just do Ariel font at a size of 10 to put in the information. On the Notes I shrink the text down as much as necessary to fit the text in. Then I manually crop the file and save it as a PNG file for upload. If you would like the raw templates I can mail them to you if you want to send me your email address. It sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is.

M2s andM3s are next up. Starting to work on those tonight. I spent the day doing some running around getting some VA paperwork done so I didn't get started as early as I would have liked. After te M2/M3 varients I will make the hummer cards and then the requests from armouredrabbit though the DPV is already done and available under soft skin vehicles.
I also put a downloadable pdf version of Operation: Pacific Burn up on the page with covers and all.
