I am with Lance on this - OP fire is a big slowdown for the boardgame as well. Perhaps letting the player designate enemy units OR hexes at the end of his turn to "watch over and fire upon" could be feasible?

Wowza, "DW1-style + more" is my next best thing after Baby Wet Wipes (toss the sliced bread).

Is troop quality factored in?

No, Troop quality is not present in the game (other than say German and US troops having slightly different numbers on the counters).

Yes. You can select sides in each scenario.

<t> "Moddable" in what way? As the game currently stands you can basically alter the graphics for the units (as those are pictures), map hexes (as those are pictures too, even though composite). I believe map editing/creation is planned for the future, so far you can only create scenarios on ...

Hill 1 and 2 are modelled in the board game.

For me the camo feels blurry on the map. Sticking to the esthetic of the game (single-color counters) the black wins for me.

No multi-story buildings in the game, it is not that granular.

EDIT: And no, this will not be Steel Panthers 4, that is a totally different type of a game.

That is entirely up to Lance (and Barry Doyle as the designer of the original board wargame, depending on what they agreed upon).

But in my mind these things do complicate the elegant simplicity of the game.

Guys, you are making demands of the game that are not in the rules system. This would need to be playtested etc. and as far as I know Lance wanted to take an existing board wargame and make a PC version of it (with appropriate tweaks etc. of course).

Nope, nothing like that,

Nice episode! Pumped for DW2, even if it hits shelves in the Autumn or later...

Off topic but is your corps icon from Summer Lightning boardgame?

It is! I am Slovak, so that is the sole reason why I chose it Never played the game.

Yes, the PC game directly translates the rules into digital format.

Either-or. Black gives a bit more punch to the Allied face though.
