Hi Guys

Here are some more screenshots. The planes have been redone as well as the map.

Take a look and let us know what you think.

That is some nice graphics indeed. Keep up the good work.

Very nice SS's, noticed the day and night experience for the crew, the different armors (Belt, deck etc), like that!

Question about the radar (and guns) that I see on the device list. Can those devices be taken out and be repaired at sea if damage is light?

Liked the screen shots. Will Naval Battles be like the pictured Air Combat???

<img src="eek.gif" border="0"> Awesome graphics. If this game will play as good as it looks it will be the best wargame ever. The planes are trully beautiful.

I know it'd be too much to ask but it'd be so nice if these planes represented (or had a small list under each type) of which unit/squadron is participating and taking/dealing damage. Probably 'd mean more variables. Just a wish that's all.

Looks awesome. Definitely the most awaited game on my list... and I know at least a few old time PacWar fanatics who'll fall in love with this one too.

Thank You guys.

rough.

Yes Sir.

Hello...

Systems can sometimes be repaired at sea, but will usually require dock work. Minor damage at the scale of 6 to 12 hour impulses can be repaired during the turn. Greater damage may require parts or facilities not aboard the ship.

Bye...

Hello...

We had room for 12 aircraft on the screen. There may be 20 or more squadrons attacking, so we would not be able to show all. However, the text line at the bottom of the screen, which describes the combat, will tell what squadron is attacking what squadron. I am adding that text, today, along with a smoke and fire animation for when a plane is hit.

Bye...

I just checked the latest screenshots.

Thanks for putting the life, colour and graphics into a wargame. At last! A great looking wargame. Who would have thought you could those words in the same sentence?

Keep up the great work guys. It is truly a thing of beauty. . .

now that's lovely. Since you were to add that text yesterday can we see the screenshot? <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Are there any naval battle screenshots ready yet? What about the land units, any of those?
How about more of the map?
Yamamoto's portrait maybe?

you've really wet my appetite.

ROFL. I´m working hard on that Yamamoto portrait but my oil colors are gone and shops are closed here on sundays....

Good looking pics, can hardly wait for the game!

Those are some very nice graphics, both on the map and the planes. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

As far as commanders go, actual historic photographs next to their names would
be great. Then you could really see who it is you're placing in command of
your TF's. It would lend a nice authentic touch. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

After viewing those graphics and details I've switched my christmas priorities from Combat Mission 2 to Uncommon Valor! You guys are doing an incredible job. Thank you. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
