Howdy,

It is a great buy so i prob will get it but can someone answer some Question about it.

This seems to be a lot like Autorealm (but more developed) which is the only progarm i have used, is it?

That's one question I can't answer, because I don't know AutoRealm.

dose it scale well

Yes.

can it overlay a hex map

Yes.

can u stamp the hexs with an object?

If I understand how you mean that right, yes.

can thease hex be print out to a 1" hex map scale on paper (this is the hard part can you over lay squares

The 1" hex scale is OK, but as to overlaying squares: Maybe not. I never tried it.

I hope to imort pictures for dat and generate maps for the wargame table such as improt a satilitte pic of Marango and then us that to scale out a map, could this program handle this/

Again, if I understand what you want correctly, yes.

In addition to the free trial version that Joe Frazier mentioned, you also can download the 160-page PDF manual/tutorial free at:

The manual thoroughly covers everything but raster mapping (only introduced). Later this week we'll be releasing a free, open, 200+ page PDF tutorial on raster mappiing with FM8.
