ORIGINAL: Ladmo I thought I would run a few terrain features up the flagpole and see if any one on the team salutes...Here they are... 1) I think the hanai (tall grass) in Rising Sun Tropical maps would be useful in all terrain zones, if it could be added. 2) Desert Terrain: trees beyond palm should be enabled and would add greatly to recreating areas like Turkey, parts of Greece, and Sicily. 3) Why the devil did the original designers conclude there are no industrial buildings in the Middle East. I suppose Rommel did not encounter many factories in the Western Desert, but had he made it into Cairo I think it is just possible he would have done. 4) winter in the desert. I grew up in the high desert of New Mexico and can assure you snow, incredbile amounts of snow are possible. This may not be relevent to Monty and Erwin's adventures, but he have added Iran, and one can postulate Turkey, and those places see, in parts, snow. I do not propose dense jungle in Berlin, except maybe in the Reich Chancellery and that would be jungle of the political variety... Finally,.... This is, I suppose, more a mod thing, but I like the way TOAW III allows the user to place alternative graphics in a folder wiith a scenario of the same name. I suspect that would be something for the far future. My impression is we are just learning our way around the code at present. Keep the idea in mind, at any rate. I do think the above mention items are very 'do-able' right now. I have not mentioned East Front terrain, which I understand is a real bugger. Maybe we need to consider transferring EFII to the WF engine? Maybe...perhaps...well, maybe not. All good ideas, but probably won't be worked on anytime soon. They are noted now though! Thanks Ladmo.
