Warning - I have only been using CB for a few months and have mostly learned from trial and error. Others here may be able to give better answers. > The gamebox has 2 boards named 'Allied Charts' and 'Japanese > Charts' - I am trying to add the same info to each board.

The only way I have found to do this is to bring the board up using CBPlay. (I seem to recall that it took me a while to figure out that I needed to make a scenario and/or game which included the board before I could do this.) Under the Edit menu for CBPlay you will find an entry to copy the board image to the Clipboard and another to save the board image to a file. Once you have done one of those choices then you can import the image into Paint (or whatever) and cut out parts you want. These can be pasted back into CBDesign directly (once you have cut them the Paste option should be available). Of course, they will only be images on the second board. If you wish to later make a minor mod (resize something) then you would have to do it on the Japanese Chart first and use the copy-board-image-and- cut trick to replace the image on the Allied Chart. > The gamebox also seems to include some tiles which are placed on > the map to show geographical features but I have been unable to > find out how to amend these.

Removing them from the tile group would eliminate them from the board. Perhaps they were actually pasted in as images (as described above). Either way, you could use the copy-board-image-and-cut trick to capture these images and edit them (again, using Paint or whatever). You could also paste the images into new tiles that you create if you want them to actually be available in a tile group.
