| Hello, I would like to be able to draw tactics on maps to make AARs, I know MILsketch but I have experienced some crashes on Windows, there are any alternatives except for drawing softwares like Photoshop, Inkscape, etc...? What you use?

| Powerpoint is quick and easy and you can download tactical graphics for it ready to use.

Commonly I use Google Slides, it can be used instead of PowerPoint even for this task? The military simbols are included or you have a website where I can found them

i prefer milsketch.. all other programs you would have to build you up a library for it to be efficient, much like i had to do for a circuit board cad program, so i could use it for guitar wiring.,. takes awhile but once you have a robust set of symbols,swatches, etc, it will get faster
now, i do use powerpoint but not for aar's but to make symbols for boardgames. such as these attachments

here is the rest of the conter set.. this was a boardgame idea i had.. based on battleforce I and II which is part of the battletech universe but with much more emphasis on conventional units, Command and control and more real world military
these are the mech counter portion.. i also have counters for an idea loosely based on ASL but simplified w/changes in games mechanics that are from another game..
alot of good ideas.. just not feeling very motivated here lately
All these counters where done in power point. I did use paint shop pro and Vector Magic a bit too. this version of the counters is at version 4 and pretty much finalized
