I would love to see how the battle progressed, dynamically, with the order issuance moments well marked, and with the icons moving in the map without fog of war. In other words, what is on the other side of Wellington's hill

Must be interesting to see how your guesses were right or wrong, what path was chosen for the attack or what positions were well defended and which others were deserted.

We are discussing a full game replay, but that will be a post release feature if it makes the cut of other cool things we want and players want to add to the game engine. [8D]

The meat of the end of battle de-briefing is the tally of losses and some words of praise or scorn or mediocrity according to my deeds during battle. It seems pretty good how you have it already.
I think a word about how the battle results will affect future operations would be interesting too even if it is just a one battle scenario.

About the tally of losses, would also be nice to see units destroyed minus the number that dropped out for other reasons. I think people like to know how many badguys were brewed up good and proper.
And the very epic music during the start up menu would be nice to hear after a battle too (but not during it of course).
I think for the review of forces, I most want to see how many units are left operational on both sides versus their starting numbers. I think this number would be very low for both sides in my battles.

Thank you Darwin for supporting your game so attentively.

Ho, I like this one. A post-battle assessment like the thread assessment at the start of the scenario. With pics and all.

Hi,

To be honest I like the endgame data and map scrolling thru the enemy units pretty much as is. Are you envisioning something (radically) different?

Rob.

Rob, you are still good. [8D]
