Status: offline 		The screens posted are not best quality but since the artist is still working on the graphics (interface mainly) you will all have to wait for a while before seeing them with more details. In my opinion the counters look great, colorful and easy to distinguish to what HQ they're attached, but that's at a higher zoom level.

You will notice that armys have the same colors and you can change then to keep organization as you want...The units with "R" were routed in battle and fell back...

What do the numbers on the bottom of the counters represent (such as 0-50 etc.)?

Status: offline 		Unit counters display lots of info noticed the small triangles on the top side corners, the one at the left is color coded from green to red meaning green maximum and red minimum, it shows info on morale, supply... you toggle between them, the triangle on the right side gives you info about how much movement is left of each unit.

Status: offline 		No, the art on that is still in the works. We're actually going to be fairly sparing with screenshots since we're still in alpha and a lot is still being worked on. We'd rather show more of the graphics when they are mostly finished so that you don't form first impressions from placeholders.

OK then. My comment on squares was not meant as a complaint. It just brought back fond memories of Lou's game from so many years ago.

The hexes are there, just take a closer look they're hard to notice right now, but that's on the works, the square system is also there, still don't know what the final decision will be, personally I like the hexes more but don't mind having the map divided by squares as it is now.

Status: offline 		WOW!!! Looking good!!!

This looks like and update of the ole War in Russia, with more fluff and stuff I assume.

Oh and the squares on the map are really hexes!! Each square has 6 exits, like a hex. applying a hex grid is only for looks.

Rock and roll guy's!!! I sure hope you make your promised release date ... *coughs* unlike poor Combined Arms.

Status: offline 		Well Clff you will love this game. Were adding alot of little things to speed game play (theres alot of stuff), research on production is on going, and Gary's getting the AI better all the time. We really want to put out a game which is very playable, fun, historic, and bug free...
