Plotting raids in BOB

Post by davidjruss »

Hard Sarge,

Will the BTR raid plotting mechanics be ported over to BOB as currently in BOB there isn't the same drag and drop facility for the navigation points as in BTR. Thus raid plotting is much more laborious in BOB than in BTR.

Hi David
well, from what I have gotten from talking with JC, we are going to try and get BoB to be BTR but earlier (if that makes sense the way I said it)

so we are hopeing to have the Interface upgraded so both games will work the same way (which of course, the goal is to make the interface better, but we will see)

Has there been any consideration of making BOB and BTR a combo program so you only have to buy one game? Sort of like haveing a BoB Scenario in BTR.

I still dream of a real combo Game, starting in 1940 ending in 1945, where the Brits can Bomb the Reich in 1940 if they can afford it and The Germans are still able to Bomb GB till 1945 if the can manage it, and both side must defend also. Also the Game should be seemles so no Turns, when your Nightfighters and Bombers are still in the Air over the Reich at 07:00 the LW can start their Dayfighters and make them show what it means beiing late.

By "combo" do you mean the two games sold/downloaded together?

I think Elf was suggesting that BoB/BTR be combined into one massive program.

the over all plan right now, is the games will be sold as a pair, you would get two games when you buy the download


I don't know if we could set it up to be one game and BoB would be one of the options to play, the engines are still too much different (right now)

if we can get the interface and the maps more in line with each other, then maybe we could, but right now, I would only be guessing if we can do that or not


down the road, we hope to be able to get more of a combo game set up, but that may be very down the road
