War Cabinet Officer’s management interface design is ready. The purpose of this UI is to provide information about your officer’s Combat stats, Special Traits, Experience and Rewards. From here you would be able to sort and manage officers in easy and intuitive way with single click. This way you could choose best commanders for various units and missions for best results.

The interface has three main parts: The first one is located on the top. It gives you the information about the commander of the selected unit with his stats, experience, rewards and special abilities. It also shows the name and the rank of the current commanding officer.

The second one, located on the left side of the screen provides information about highlighted officer from the pool. Looking at the stats and skills you can decide what type of units would benefit most of his command. There would be five major types of land units: Infantry, Mechanized, Artillery, Armored and Anti-Air battalions. Same design will be used for Air Force, but it will utilize different categories and special abilities. Clicking on the awards icons with reveal more details what kind of medals he has and how they were earned.

The third one is located on the right side of the screen and shows the officers pool. This is the place where you can oversee overall officer’s availability, skills, decorations and seniority of the commanders.

We believe that War Cabinet interface design is created to be distinctive and user friendly in order to provide flawless game experience.
All your comments and further recommendation on that you are more than welcome.

More to come next week.

Hi friends,

Supply and logistics have been playing important role in every war since ancient times.

As a general rule if you want to win a war there should be couple of things present. One of them is strong supply and logistics. This involves huge volume of manpower, equipment, fuel, food infrastructure consideration and serious planning. Without it even mightiest army is becoming helpless mass of people and equipment.

They all had to be moved usually between great distances from the homeland into the campaigning theaters. The fighting front is where the links in the supply chains end.

In the end it doesn’t matter if it is a real war or just a strategy war game the rules remain the same. That is why we believe that any serious war strategy game should consider including this key element. We will.

In this regard we would like to share with you one piece of equipment suit for the task. - http://www.warcabinet.net/gallery/pre-alpha-screenshots/ This is the Ural fuel tanker 375D, which can be quickly and accurately allocated to supply the battle front. The Ural-375D is a general purpose 4.5 ton 6x6 truck, produced at the Ural Automotive Plant in the Russian SFSR since 1961. The ZIL-157 was the standard Soviet truck until it was replaced by the Ural-375D, which became the standard Soviet truck in 1979. The Ural-375D was soon replaced by the Ural-4320. The Soviets also found the trucks an ideal platform for the BM-21 Grad rocket launcher. Other modes for the Ural-375D included troop carrier, supply carrier, etc.

So please take a close look at it and tell us what you think.

Do you have a year that the equipment must have been introduced before in order to qualify for inclusion into the game? Or countries that built, or developed, it?
