Is the LOS (Line of Sight) 3D like Squad Battles

It is turn based but does not have PBEM.
How do we play a turn?

Per Peter's comments. [:)]
You have Admin segment (in my game segment = phase), Fire segment, Movement segment, Defensive Fire segment, Advancing Fire segment, Rout Segment, Advance Segment and Close Combat Segment. So the turn is very interactive, example in Movement segment if you move a unit by one hex, or your vehicle changes facing both of these actions can trigger enemy defensive fire and because of this PBEM style of play would be very difficult.

The game has 5 levels of elevation, base + 4 levels of hill. LOS is calculated down to a pixel level. LOS is affected by obstacles like terrain, buildings or hindrance (6 hexes of hindrance will block LOS). For example, grain in season is hindrance as well as orchard, brush, crag, debris and vehicle wreck.

That is not an answer.
After I play my turn how do I let my opponent know I have played a turn?

as there's no pbem, but supports 2 player, then it's hotseat mode for a guess, so just tap him or her on there shoulder and say it's your turn[:D][;)]

Yes, there is hotseat mode besides playing against AI. PBEM can be sort of simulated by sending the saved game file to the other player.

Is there just 1 file swap per game turn or would there be multiple saved game file swaps to complete one turn?

I imagine that the process would be very similar to playing pbem ASL via VASL. There's a number of log files that are exchanged per turn, with each turn divided in to phases or segments that each side performs. As Peter mentions, the movement phase for each side (two movement phases per turn) is interactive in that there is reaction fire that is possible by your opponent as you move. That makes playing be email very difficult. It can (and is) done using VASL for ASL by basically halting the process during the playback of your opponents movement phase and conducting reaction (aka defensive) fire on units as the opportunity presents itself one at a time. So for VASL, that means that every time you want to take a defensive fire shot, you stop the log, conduct the shot and send that result to your opponent. They then continue with the rest of their moves. The logs pass back and forth like this until all of the movement phase is complete. Now I don't know if Peter's game works like that, or if it even could work like that when trying to pbem it, but I imagine it would be something quite similar if nothing else.

Very nice. BTW, is it going to be the successor to SPWaW?

In ASL by PBEM using the VASL interface it is the interaction between the movement and defensive fire phases that creates the most logs. The mover has to give some directions to his opponent as in stop and return the log when you break one of my units or a gun/tank is revealed. So the movement phase can create a ton of log files.
I have done it and it works. Just takes a good working relationship with your opponent. Also great excitement as you open up each return log to see what happened! Like waiting for something exciting to come in the mail/post one time.

The game looks good from the pictures. Will there be a video, so we can here the sounds.
As well as the visual aspects of the game.
Hopefully beta testers will post AAR on youtube...
yout
Anyone? Please!

Beta testers would be prevented from posting videos by their NDA in a closed beta.
Cheers

That's what I was thinking. I understand. Maybe a few more screenshots Pip?
Thanks,

That would be down to marketing and the devs. Nobody wants to deflate the understandable excitement by posting too many non-final screenshots [:)]
