Another zoom level

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Another zoom level

Post by Vincenzo_Beretta »

I'm playing the tutorial (and having a blast BTW [:)]). My very first observation is that the game would benefit by another zoom level. Just now I have my tank battalion and bot the mech infantry ones dug-in in Lommersweiler for the night - with sporadic firefights against nearby enemy units - at it would be really useful to further zoom in the area. I actually keep trying doing that forgetting that I'm already at the closest zoom.

have you tried showing small unit icons (' on my UK keyboard)? Though not another zoom level, it does allow you to see more of the map at any zoom level 
I decided to ignore my orders and to take command at the front with my own hands as soon as possible

Yes I agree that another zoom level would be nice, but that will have to wait for now. We would need to add another very large off screen bitmap to the game to handle it. It's not rocket science but would require some testing to see how this affects available RAM.

Please add this to the Future Directions - Features thread. Thanks.
