<t> I think this topic falls under balance and difficulty: Both with the original SC and the current beta version I feel that too few points are awarded the Axis for the capture of Suez; and, conversely, that the Allies are not penalized enough for losing it. I think the Axis should receive some ...

I'm not able to download and play the new version immediately, but I'm curious: Was a new zoom level added between the two previous widest zoom levels? I ask because more than one of us noted that the present options were sometimes either too wide or a little too close.

<t> This may not matter, but right after USSR declares war, and before any combat has occurred, a banner message appears reading "Russia rebuilds damaged industry in Urals."

1) The one thing I kept wishing while playing the new version is that there was a zoom level ...

<t> I take it a release date still has not been mentioned for the new version of SC? (I've been playing the original SC for years and regard it as my _favorite_ computer game, despite the rudimentary graphics; and I've gone through a lot of trouble to make sure I transferred the game each time I ...
