So, where are the new screenies?

The Seven Years’ War was fought across the globe and called by some the first “World War” as virtually every major power participated. In the center of events was Prussia, almost constantly at war and lead by the now legendary Frederick the Great.

Relive the exciting and trying days of Frederick the Great in Horse and Musket: Volume I, the improved and expanded combination of the previous Prussian War Machine and Prussia’s Glory titles. Horse and Musket: Volume I is a reboot of the successful Horse and Musket series, including not only two solid historical titles in one package, but also many new game features, a powerful new editor, and a complete graphics overhaul to an already acclaimed gaming system.

Tim,
How are things going with BON? Some time ago you mentioned some new screen shots showing new terrain, etc. How about some unit portraits while your at it?

It is exciting for sure. I keep wondering what a fairly large sized battle would look like, --mid-battle.

Still holding off on updated shots as Frank changes how the graphics are displayed. Much better than my old clunky method.

Units are 60wX72H...example attached.

Tim,
Very cool. Now I understand that there are 22 colors for the units on map. How many portrait slots will there be again?

Oops, found it on the old Forum - over 3000?! That ought to do it!

ORIGINAL: Double Shot Design

The unit image looks great. With Frank doing such important work, patience will be ours. [:)]

Merci,
Rick

The designer always wants instant results...then the programer has to figure out how to make it work :)

The unit pictures can be unlimited...they are just a bitmap sitting in the right folder.

I'm wondering what a combined arms battle would look like. Nothing bigger than say a Corps vs. a Corps.

Thanks.
