The zoom option and the formation designations on the chits are worth their weight in Gold. Almost all of my original gripes have been answered swiftly and with consideration. Thanks for all your hard work with this title. You had me when the smoke started, but now I can play it at a decent visual level with more immersion, and I can tell a lot more from the chits, plus the smoke stays after a save game. Keep up the good work folks!

It's a bit subtle, but you should be able to see it on the top right corner of the splash screen when the game loads.

Thanks!

Yogi the Great,
It is my understanding that 1.02 will come out first. It's been delayed by the May 1 holiday in Europe, among other factors.

Sorry-either drunk or quote didnt work right. This was a reply to Gil saying units in enemy zoc ooc has been fixed.

I've noticed this as well too-- the game doesn't seem to save the setting on zoom out, unlike the other options.

But really great beta in general. I can not emphasize how much the formation indicators on the Nato counters make the game so much more immediately understandable and accessible. As I mentioned elsewhere, I still hope small squares can be also added to those counters ranging from green to red to indicate strength and morale.

But great job on this beta! It's huge improvements to an already fascinating system.

One problem - when the OOB is opened, you cannot scroll the map to the left by moving the mouse to the left edge of the screen.

Status: offline 		Thanks Gil, some really nice work there and very fast to get it in. I still would like to give different orders to elements of a brigade. I'm playing a PBEM game atm and my brigade is holding a bridge, my cav unit belonging to that brigade is pretending to be a whole brigade by himself in some woods and is doing an excellent job of holding up an enemy reinforcing brigade. The only trouble is, he has the brigade order of hold which is hampering his movement. The game is great and the maps are very nice.

I was still able to move the cursor to the far upper left edge or bottom left edge and have the map scroll with 1.03Beta. Just not the middle left edge of the screen.

Thanks

I can't reproduce this in general. Which scenario?

Once you're playing a scenario:

Under OPTIONS:

And then SCREEN DRAWING OPTIONS:

(About half the way down. "Zoom Out during Combat" Set it to OFF.

They are beta patches, therefore you can find them in the member area -> my products.

I don't know how the code works, but it's possible that this change would affect ongoing Williamsburg games.

See Post #29 above.

Btw, I'm sticking with the original zoom out for combat results. For me, it just seems to work better visually than the zoom in.

I assume this is with the zoom out turned off. It should at least jump to where the action is for each firefight. Otherwise, what's the use of adding the zoomed in feature if it doesn't move the camera to each of the shooting units during the resolution phase?
