    Hello americancaesar,

    Press F2 key.

    You can disable toolbars and such by the other F keys (F5 radar map, F6 GUI bar, F7 unitcards).

    Press the numeric zero will toggle the GUI too: GrabUi=0 GrabUi=1. GrabUi=0 also strips all bars from the screenshot.

    I'ld suggest to use the F3 key to go to sort of a widescreen if you want a screenshot for use with a battle map (.jjm). F4 to increase the screensize again.

    Images are stored in the folder TGAs.

    I used PrtSc for my recent Shinano screenshot; but Tosa's option is the more 'official' one.
    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

    The F2-trick will give nicer screens, I think. But the screenshots are created in .tga format. With windows only you can't open them, I think. (you'll need irfanview or any other such program) So you might want to use Prt Scr and paint to make .jpg screens instead.
