I'm not exactly working on 'Elephants'
, but I am working on making creation of Objectives a little easier...
Here's a sample, along with some different fonts.

That's a start, Ralph. But what we really need for objective design is to be able to display the tracks of every formation at the same time - with only one live track that's being modified.
The real problem with track design is trying to remember where all the other tracks have already been placed, so you can keep them parallel.
And once we've got that, then we need to be able to just drag and drop track points, without going through the "delete objective" then "insert objective" routine.
Something like this? Tied to the 'I' key that toggles the range rings? It might toggle between one unit's track, and all the formations's tracks.
I'll see if I can do anything like that...
You DO want arrows, right?
..nice...
..now if can we just get the arrows to read the terrain and decide if it can shoot over it or not......
..btw, how did the Germans get so far forward, there's some really cool defensive positions around 15 hexes from Tobruk, that, if properly prepared will stop anything..

In fact, this is the first time I've been able to see what a tangled mess I made of the tracks due to working blind. With this feature I could have kept them much neater, and possibly more effective.
Oh...I don't know, Bob. I think they look pretty good. In fact, if you look at the lines, just right, you can see the statue of Nelson in Trafalgar Square...[;)]
Well, you can definitely see Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus - even without looking "just right". The Brits named various collection points and crossroads in North Africa after stations in London. You can also find a Knightsbridge and a Charing Cross on the map as well. There probably was a Trafalgar Square somewhere, but I don't know exactly where.

Well, been away a while, but have to say this is a classic. Utterly classic... Is there a TOAW 'Hall of Fame' somewhere to put gems like these?

And while around, a 'Hall of Shame' for this type of drivel: PFMM: "integral design versus differential design"? Say what? Bollocks I say! And wonder what PFMM stands for (Please Find My Marbles)?
