Also,
1.Where does a person get the Terrain Elements data (specific to PitF) that 5CC requires for editing elements?
2.Is 5CC compatible with Windows 8?

thanks

5CC should run on Windows 8, but I haven't tried it myself.

You should be able to use the "Last Stand Arnhem" elements data for coding Panthers in the Fog maps as the element indexes are identical.

Status: offline 		I've been looking at the videos on YouTube concerning the existing map editing facility in Unity3d. Has anybody figured out how you would take your common-or-garden Ordinance Survey map and turn it into a Unity3d (and therefore next-generation Close Combat) map?

Something tells me I have the wrong approach. Maybe we'll just go to Google Maps, press a couple of buttons and a sizeable chunk will appear on the combat map.

"Armored Brigade" is not a million miles away from Close Combat in overall concept and look at what their community has been up to: http://www.armoredbrigade.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=333

Status: offline 		Sort of? I did not read through the whole thread on that other forum, but our current plan is to have the ability to import gray-scale elevation bitmaps into the editor, as a way to terrain heights. It will not be as simple as pressing a couple of buttons on Google Maps, though.

Don't worry. That suggestion was tongue-in-cheek.

I'm tired of having the same style of Strat for the last 3 releases... push, push, push... no flair.

Wacht am Rhein gave you much more discretion.
