Got it. That IS a good feature! Thank you for the clarification, Brent. Kevin

Chart maps allow a Map to be added to any Chart window without the need for am individual toolbar button. This allows you to have a single window opened by a single button that then presents a drop-down or tabbed list of maps, each of which can be accessed seperately and used just like a normal map. I originally envisaged this for games with complicated reinforcement structures where reinforcements are associated with particular cards and bought into the game when the card is played, in no specified order. A Reinforcement chart would then have one map for each card, listed neatly in a drop-down list and the map for each card would contain the reinforcement counters that go along with that card (populated in the scenario start file). Other uses would be to collect multiple Force Pools, counter boxes or OOB cards into a single neat package.
