Scourge of War Boards

Really enjoyed these scenarios. I'm not sure why but none of the commanders pictures are correct and many times it just shows a black square.

Anyway to get the map for sandbox mode? I've looked but the map doesn't show up in the list.

Does this allow for the creation of maps? Also, is there a tutorial for creating maps?
I've been looking but couldn't find anything.

I have blender and gimp for textures and modeling. What else would I need?

I read through it but it really doesn't offer much.

Why would you need a 3d model? The sprites are 2d aren't they?

If someone could post a few pics and a brief explanation of the process thats all I need. I don't need it to be in depth.

Just wondering if there is any good tutorials on how to create new sprites for the game?
There are many uniforms that i'd like to see and I figured it would be a good idea to learn how to make them.

Any help is much appreciated.
