FAQ:

Q: Whats a bitmap?

A: A bitmap (or BMP) is a Windows image file, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds uses this file type for the instructions page.

Q: Whats the palette?

A: Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds can only accept certain shades of blue, white, red, and black for ingame bitmaps that will be displayed on the instruction page. Most designers make two verisons of your bitmap: Normal, and one with the palette loaded. If a designer does not give you a bitmap with the palette loaded you make ask him for it.

A: Because my threads are much better than yours.

- If your request is not filled asking for it 2+ times will not do any good, so just don't.
