In the Battle Staff course I am in I am learning how to make and read graphics and overlays, like the one I made displayed above. Using fine tipped markers on peice of acetate I can draw the symbols that represent units, equipment, boundries, obstacles, movements and actions. This is useful when you want to illistrate an order or get an idea of what is happening on the battle field very quickly. The see through acetate makes it possible to tape to a map to give reference to where everything is taking place.
The overlay above represents about three hours of work. There are very peticular rules about how things are to be drawn, what lines touch or do not touch and the proper color.
