The Handbook

The four parts of the Phaseline window, and the seven steps from an empty map to a PNG that you can put in a briefing.

Draw a phase line along a road, a stream or a ridge, give it a name, and let every unit in the sector report on the same line. How to draw it, name it and change its bends.

Draw a boundary between two units, with the echelon symbol in the line and a unit name on each side. How to draw it, name the two sides and choose the echelon.

Give the map its width in metres, and the scale bar, the measure tool and the numbered grid all follow from it. How to set the map width and how to choose a grid interval.

How to read a grid reference off the map grid: the easting first, the northing second, what the status bar says about the square under the pointer, and what a datum changes.
