Oh, and the map graphics shown here are works-in-progress. (Forgive me, Crossroads. ) So much is subject to change.

Here's another one: On-map display of Combat Efficiency (resupply) probabilities, 100% in the same hex as the selected HQ, then diminishing the farther outward you go. Note that the traditional Command Range highlight shows were this probability is >= 50%.

Some people would consider this one ooh, sexy!

(As always, sneak peek previews show graphic elements etc. still works-in-progress. That is, elements you see here might be mock-ups, experimental, and still subject to change.)

The numerical supply values in-hex (versus just shading) may be a first in wargaming - although I may stand corrected.

IIRC, Panzer Campaigns has had this for some time.

You will note also that we have reduced the font size for displaying on-map values (here TEM, but also Elevations and Coordinates). Not so much in-your-face as before.

We're still quite busy working with the foundations, putting new plumbings in place, add your favorite construction site anecdote here. But it is true. Not much we can show of our efforts, for things are in a flux, they don't look like how we envision the final produce to look, so EMCON continues.

We'd like nothing but talk about what we're doing, showing things, but alas, it has to wait. Why? Consider this:

Campaign Series: Middle East 1948-1985 released approximately one year ago, on 24 September 2015. Yesterday, two years ago, Berto released what was the first version of the new 2D100 view, or the new 2D Zoom-in view as it's named.

What we had was basically a new magnificent game engine feature, but what we could have shown was just some awful 2x magnifications of the existing JTCS Desert and Med 2D50 base files. And we were never happy with the original map art to begin with.

So, in our internal Dev Forum, Berto posted this, and while everyone was excited of this new feature, we agreed there's some serious BMP graphics files work ahead.

Would you agree?



So we dumped what was there (from JTCS), and started anew. And one year from that, CS: Middle East 1.00 saw the daylight.

I am posting this in hope this explains why we can't show much what's going at the moment. Again, if the above was what we started with, here's a snippet of the new 1.03 2D100 view:



(Work in progress, obviously, as some map tiles are still in need of rework, and the new 2D Unit Profiles need work too, for instance some of them need to be better centered)

Again, the first screenshot: two years ago, the lower: now. 1.03 out: Spring 2017. There's some equally great stuff coming out with 1.03. And even more with Vietnam, and East Front III.

But we're not ready to show anything with detail, not quite yet. Patience please

Personally I don't care much for the new 2d style, I prefer either the NATO symbols or the black & w third optiowhite silhouettes. Maybe it is just the early drafts, but the units in the screenie above are very hard to make out.

What are the "chits" for that you show for the Polish units? And what are the two types of chit for? Are they simply variants or are they intended for different sides, etc.? (I've never seen the symbol on the lower set of chits--looks like the Polish Navy!.)
