Opening the file CC2GraphicsTableSummer.txt I discovered something of interesting: it is possible to add zoom level to a maximum of 10. I like the huge xoom level of TOAW so I started to work on this project and this is the first result, keep in mind that I am at a beta stage and a lot of things needs a better detail.

And this is from a scenario that I am designing, the editor is very open and friendly and I found very easy to convert JTCS scenarios to company level.

Very cool, JMass. Looking forward to it.

Any advice on the scenario editing?

It is very intuitive, I am compiling some data to cover the east front's companies and to convert the JTCS maps I consider that 2x2 JTCS hexes = 1 CC hex.

JMass,

Do you ever sleep with all the stuff you have going? Thanks for all your hard work.

If your looking for a source from which to extrapolate weapons data then “The Operational Art Of War” (“TOAOW”) might be a good place to start. You could use the existing scenarios and data that come with “Combat Command” to work out the relationship between the data in the two games and then extrapolate from there to use the massive “TOAOW” database to generate data for new formations in “Combat Command”. This is what I am doing for my “Wars In Indochina” mod and another one on the Western Front in 1918 which I am working on at the same time

One of the attractions of using the TOAOW database is that you can work out the equivalent data for individual vehicles and weapons (and even individual soldiers) and then multiply these up by the number of vehicles, tubes etc in a unit. You might for example want to have individual Russian Tank companies with a combat strength of 10 vehicles and field other tank units with the same equipment as under strength battalions of 17 or 18. tanks.

Keep up the good work
Regards
Ian

Well, darn, I'm gonna have to get this after all. I have been looking for something to scratch the tactical itch ala CS, SP and TOAW and I am officially burned out on the grand strategy genre for awhile. Just tired of managing economies, productions and such.

The phases kind of takes you back doesn't it?

I finally finished the first version of my zoom level 0 (only for the summer terrain for now). Unzip the files in the attachment in the folder SupportFiles, only CC2GraphicsTableSummer.txt will be overwrite because CC2TerrainSummerZoom0.bmp is a new file. It adds the zoom level 0 and,
over it, another zoom level 1, it is necessary for the interface.

JMass - just wanted to say thanks for the mod - gives CC a really good clean, crisp and clear boardgame-style look.

Looking forward to the extra-zoom style when it is done.
