We AEeans are all very happy with what the art guys have done. Wait till you see it all...


With the full court press that you AEeans (I like that term) have given us it is obvious that the release is getting close. The problem is that seeing all the new units/ships/screens is driving me crazy with anticipation on playing the final product.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Understatement of the year!

Waiting for AE and the return of Combat Mission to WWII Europe is killing me this year [:D]

Oh well, once they come out I will no longer have a use for new games for about 10 years. Enough time to complete a PBEM as Allies and one as Japanease.

I...ah.... have to say, my friend,... that... perhaps that first statement could be considered... a bit of an overstatement... ahem...

Hello,
 
Are any of the large liners in AE?  And can we get a peek?

Any chance on getting a sampling of some smaller Allied toys? Especially any of the late war DE's, long range MSW's.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, here’s a Butler, Cannon, a Brit Loch/Bay, an Ellyson DMS, a YMS-44, and a Cockatoo AMc.

What's a long range MSW? Hope the Ellyson works for you.

Thanks for the reply JWE! As always, they look amazing!

Long range MSW is me trying to find a more technical term for MSW's with enough endurance to make long trips [:D] Is there a more technical term? Fleet Minesweeper or something?

Thanks again for the pics!

Superb artwork folks, all your efforts are really appreciated. [:)]
 
If I say pretty please, is there any chance of a sneak preview of some Royal Navy CVs?
While the battles the British fight may differ in the widest possible ways, they invariably have two common characteristics – they are always fought uphill and always at the junction of two or more map sheets.

On behalf of the artists, thank you very much. Ok, well Illustrious is in post #8, but here’s Hermes, Ruler, Vindex and Unicorn.

We'd love to, Ron, but the graphics aren't that different, to be honest. I just looked at the Porters, and there's literally three pixels' difference in one upgrade. That's it. Plenty of juicy AA guns and radar, not that much difference in drawing.

But thanks anyway, I found a typo in one of the other DD classes' data while looking at the Porters.[8D]

Hmmm, that's interesting....the late war Porters were quite different with two twin 5" turrets (Sumner/Gearing type turret) and one single turret (Fletcher type). Turret two was replaced with a quad 40mm mount and all the superstrucure cut down quite a bit.

Also even in '42 a few of them had their turret No. 3 removed.
