I'm trying to figure out how to build a new RS - something to miniaturize the existing armor diagrams to remove circles in favor of single lined spaces for Armor/IS values, to come up with something that could show multiple units (like a hovercraft APC and 3-4 BA squads/Stars) or a single tow vehicle with multiple trailers.
I used to photocopy sheets, cut out the parts I wanted, and tape them to a new sheet to get what I wanted - for example, a Lance of vehicles, or a "Battle Sheet" of 8.5x14 (Legal Paper sized) representing a Clan Star, with a pair of Mechs, 4 ground vees, and a Point of Elelmentals.
I know gimp should be able to work this - but how do I get the RS image from my digital copy of TW to the screen in Gimp so I can do the digital version of cut-and-tape?
*Ok, used Copy to put it in Word, should be able to save it as a PDF, and that gets it to GIMP. Now, to cut the elements apart, so I can modify text blocks and such.
