AI in action screenshot #3: Praying for a blizzard

[Vic]

Here is a partial screenshot from beta test gwgardner. His German 2nd and 3rd panzergroup almost made it to Moscow. The AI is fighting for its life. Very probably praying for a blizzard to arrive as soon as possible.

Appreciate the screen shots. Will we be be able modify the train icon of a steam engine from the 1800's with a cow catcher? lol

OK, you got rid of the Belgium flag which is very good. However, the German flag is not black/yellow/red but black/red/yellow. And of course you must remember that this was the flag of the Weimar Republic so it is very problematic to use this flag in a war game. A much better choice might be the black/white/red flag which was at least used from 1933-1935. I totally understand that you can't use the swastika flag.

I look forward to this game. It looks terrific!

Hi PzKw43,

The Germans in '41 were unable to use their modern loco's as they were too heavy for the soviet track foundations and bridges.

They dug up all their old loco's which quite a few, believe it or not, were not that far removed from the icon.

The cow catcher, or similar versions, were in use by the germans in '41 once the partisans started causing trouble as there were many instances of fallen trees, etc. being placed on the tracks.

There's also the need to have a clearly identifiable train icon that everyone can look at and say, 'that's a train'.

Cheers,
Cameron
