WoW! Excellent!

The screens posted are not best quality but since the artist is still working on the graphics (interface mainly) you will all have to wait for a while before seeing them with more details. In my opinion the counters look great, colorful and easy to distinguish to what HQ they're attached, but that's at a higher zoom level.

Heres one Cliff...This shows a breakthough over the Depnier by Guderian, he's short one PzC as I sent it south of the marshes...This is in the shaded mode that shows newly taken areas. You will notice that armys have the same colors and you can change then to keep organization as you want...The units with "R" were routed in battle and fell back...

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

I think that's excellent. Sick to death of hexes.

Heres a Soviet side screenshot near Leningrad...Just remember guys this is still early testing, but it is so great already...I've been testing for 11 months and still pour hours a day in fun...

There will be a hex system, its in the works...

One last bone...Look at the detail these guys do. This is after the first (surprise) air strike losses...

Many thanks for the extra screen shots Pyledriver. Please keep them coming.

What do the numbers on the bottom of the counters represent (such as 0-50 etc.)?

combat-movement. The combat value can change alot with entrenching (fort value). That my be all the screen hots I give right now, sorry, we have alot more work to do...

You have the option to toggle between attack/move and attack/ defense values also you can leave the counters without displaying any values.

Unit counters display lots of info noticed the small triangles on the top side corners, the one at the left is color coded from green to red meaning green maximum and red minimum, it shows info on morale, supply... you toggle between them, the triangle on the right side gives you info about how much movement is left of each unit.

Can you please post a screen which shows a unit details?

No, the art on that is still in the works. We're actually going to be fairly sparing with screenshots since we're still in alpha and a lot is still being worked on. We'd rather show more of the graphics when they are mostly finished so that you don't form first impressions from placeholders.

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

OK then. My comment on squares was not meant as a complaint. It just brought back fond memories of Lou's game from so many years ago.

The hexes are there, just take a closer look they're hard to notice right now, but that's on the works, the square system is also there, still don't know what the final decision will be, personally I like the hexes more but don't mind having the map divided by squares as it is now.

The date in the top right corner of those screenies above:

Is that 8th July or 7th August ??????

My preferred date format: 7-Dec-1941

Please change the date format!
