Wow! What a delicate issue! I find myself in a quandry in stating an opinion here.
To answer Steve's comments on planes in the North Africa Mega Campaign, the icons in MCNA were taken from the game itself long before the special aircraft/vehicle icons were designed. It was no easy task. I was delighted, therefore, with this second option of aircraft placed on a map as map icons. They add so much to the scenarios dealing with airfields!
It was Brent's idea to innovate these special icons for the mega campaigns in the development of MCLV. Once he informed me of his project, I jumped on board and used them to improve MC- Watchtower.
To be honest, I never thought of them being used post-Mega Campaign in scenario design.
I've read these posts and thought this over carefully. I think Brent has a valid point, and it should have been clarified before this happened.
Warrior also has a valid point. The selling point of Mega Campaigns is not based on these few special icons. They do add, however, to the uniqueness of Watchtower and Lost Victories.
Since the Mega Campaigns are sold products and not a free offer as the game itself, it might be better to note in a scenario using them that certain features of the scenario are only available if one has the Mega Campaigns.
Posting them for download might not be the best thing to do since they are at least a small part of the selling features of the campaigns.
I know Warrior and other gamers who have posted these special files are men of integrity and would never do anything to compromise the campaigns. Steve was one of the team captains in the development of MC-W and is one of its staunchest supporters. He and others who have enjoyed and used these graphics are nearly all Mega Campaign team members.
Final thought, it might be best to not post them for public downloading, at least here on the Matrix forum. I hope my thoughts here do not offend any of my good gaming friends who have only the best at heart for the Matrix Gaming Company.
