I think i am going to wait for the new release. Regarding my idea of friendly fog of war, i believe that it gives a totally different "command feeling" and i will be very happy to see it incorporated in military games. It is true though that it needs ...

<t> Hello everybody,<br/>
<br/>
I am interested in getting the game but i have a question i need to clarify first.<br/>
<br/>
From what i saw, it seems that there is an option for getting reports from subordinate units at predefined time intervals.<br/>

<t> I noticed in one of the screens a button called "intelligence display mode".<br/>
Can somebody explain what is this?<br/>
Is it relative with friendly fog of war?<br/>
<br/>
I have to say that i always thought that the introduction of friendly fog of war gives a total different feeling in ...

I assume that the time delay for a coordinated attack by two subunits is going to be more than the time delay for the execution of two uncoordinated attacks by the same elements.

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>As for the artillary model. I find nothing wrong with it, it is one of the better models I have seen. The AI handles it very very well and since you can tell exactly what is going on it makes for a good experience.<br/>

<t> My question is if a unit's facing affects combat of fire resolution.<br/>
<br/>
For example, if a unit receives fire from its flank or rear, will this have a different effect in casualties or cohesion, compared to receiving fire from its front?<br/>
Thank you.<br/>

<t> Since i like to give some thoughts for future developments ,what about introducing some elements of friendly FOW?<br/>

This might be an option for the player to choose.<br/>

Thanks for your thoughts on Operational Areas. These are on our wish list and have been since 1996. There are a number of reasons why we have not introduced these to date. Programming the penalties and effects of a unit ...

It's a strict 300 x 300. So at the most your looking at would be around 432m on the diagonal. Few companies are bigger than 175 personnel. So in general you can have two companies in the same loc without any movement impediment.

Stay tuned! COTA is on the way

Does this mean that you are in the final stage?

Is it possible that we will get it until Christmas?

<t> Being myself Greek , i will agree with the rest here that the development team does a terrific job.<br/>

Providing an ETA is not a $64,000 question but yes we are running behind. One of the culprits is the Mixed Mode Movement code, which is proving to be a HUGE undertaking. Given the very steep terrain in the area of operations we decided that we ...

As to motorised unit moving through woods etc. Currently the code does not support mixed mode movement. By that I mean that if terrain is passable to foot, then it must also be passable to motorised units. With the new code I'm developing, this ...
