Here's a one sheet vehicle builder I made for my own amusement. You can use it to point vehicles not covered by any of the rulebooks. I included the ones already done for completeness. They don't agree 100% with published points but it's a simple matter to re-do them if you want.

I tried downloading and opening it. For some reason it doesn't register as a PDF file and you have to manually choose Adobe to open it, but it did open. Below are a Word and Open Office version which might work better.

I could open it - worked well, but the browser apparently tries to save it without the pdf extension. If you click on the file and choose "save as", you get the saving location, and the file name as a long sequence of numbers.

I just replaced said sequence by "TTVehcBld.pdf", then saved, and I could open it without any problems. May just be a combination of how the forum stores uploads and how the browser saves downloads.

The content looks excellent, btw. I like your approach of costing "spaces" as well as the purpose those spaces take (e.g. a weapon and its gunners). Have you thought about doing an automated spreadsheet based on it? If not, I would like to try my hand at that, if only for private use.

Driscoles, PM sent.

Chris, I had thought about how to go about it, drop down boxes etc., but I haven't. By all means have a go and I would be very interested in what you come up with.

And rules for the jingal of course:
Weapon                                                        Range  Template  Anti-Tank  Special Rules       Cost
Muzzle loading smoothbore light field gun (jingal)  48"      2”           0              Reload, -1 to hit  20
