Hope PyleDriver didn't get into trouble posting these screenies.  As a beta tester I know that
can hurt you.

It's August 7th Joe. See the screenies in the product overview and you'll see a date of 12/4/1941.

I really don't know why a format of "dd-mmm-yy" hasn't become a standard, but as long as it's explicitly stated somewhere I'm sure we'll all cope, regardless of origin. [;)]

It doesn't seem like a big programming task to allow people to pick their preferred format as an option but it's not a big deal to me either way.

Don't worry. He will be ok in penal company [:D]

if its that important I don't thing it would be all that burdensome to allow the player to choose his preferred date mask

Pavel, (helpless) even the dog's get the scraps that fall on the floor. So I threw them a bone, and got spanked. Hope you guys liked them, dad hasn't come home yet, I really wonder how bad the beating is going to be...col...thats "crying out loud"...lol...

WOW!!! Looking good!!! [&o]

This looks like and update of the ole War in Russia, with more fluff and stuff I assume.

Oh and the squares on the map are really hexes!! Each square has 6 exits, like a hex. applying a hex grid is only for looks.

Rock and roll guy's!!! I sure hope you make your promised release date ... *coughs* unlike poor Combined Arms.

The game has a conventional hex grid.  Look closely at the map.  The offset squares just appear when there are certain overlays or filters on the map.

Well Clff you will love this game. Were adding alot of little things to speed game play (theres alot of stuff), research on production is on going, and Gary's getting the AI better all the time. We really want to put out a game which is very playable, fun, historic, and bug free...

True, but I have to say it already looks great!

Smart move. I'd rather wait, and not see stuff that isn't representative.

I can't recall seeing a board with squares instead of hexes since Lou Zocchi's Battle of Britain.

Gary's WiR has 'em
Nice graphics and detailed equipment listing... seeing a Bloch shows the eye for detail, don't forget the Slovak Avia's[;)]
Why the preference to use squares instead of hexes?

There really hexs, the artwork is still in the works...Just look closer...

Will the divisions be named historically?

Will the divisions be named historically?

Probably yes: 1st ,2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th,.., Das Reich, LAH, .., 1st Guards,..

Great. Will different units have different colors? (LW, SS, Army, etc.)

Yes, to some extent, i.e. SS->black,Guards->red, etc. Plus different command structure colors

Very cool. I can't wait to see the finished product

In this thread please refer to post #4

A German armoured unit has broken through. It is painted light grey with a pale green centre. It is numbered 16-7.

Meantime, nearby, are 3 German HQ units all painted light grey with a pale green centre.

…..the counters look great, colourful and easy to distinguish to what HQ they're attached,

Which HQ is that unit attached to?
