Zoom feature?

Post by Fred98 »

I noticed one of the screenshots, there is an icon on the toolbar that seeems to represent a zoom function.

If so, please provide screenies using the zoom. The game might then make more sense to me.

Which is a comment on the looks of the game.

IMHO, a better icon would be a generic armour icon. And it needs to be top down 2D. Just my opinion.

Sorry, I like the Tiger and the B17 etc.

I do agree a 2D option, hopefully showing all troops by type in an area would be great.

The problem with trying to show all the units is that the areas are not all the same size, so what might be easy to show in one area, may be impossible in another....the pop up feature works well enough IMO....

good points, will just take a bit of getting used to but I'm sure it will work.
