How about an option screen for the counters,so you can pick what is displayed on the counters. Combat command has something like this.

Please see post number 15 again. The representation of the left image with the silhouette + CV is not available for the small counter with the NATO symbols + CV. The right image shows an image from the AI calculations. So the NATO symbols for the representation of "small-counter next to each other" are already integrated in the game. Why can't I use this representation (small-counter next to each other + NATO symbols + CV) on my planning map? The silhouettes look for a war game / strategy game inappropriate and unprofessional! Period!

Can you zoom the map using the wheel on your mouse, or do you still have to use the +/- keys?

LarryP -> RE: Is this here the right place? (7/23/2012 2:12:23 PM)
Mouse wheel. Yaayyy! As you can tell, it made me happy. [:D]

The game seems pretty similar to WtP in it's mecahnics. Which is a good thing. I just tire quickly of moving and keeping track of loads of units. But that's just me ....Lots of people love to micro manage.

I don't think Speed is overpowered, it's not like you get another full move. It generally allows you to move 1 or 2 extra hexes. As the duration of attacks depend on AP's, it's not a powerful offensive tool either because if you can attack again using it, it will be a short fight. I'd even go as far as saying that you need it to get clean breakthroughs with an encirclement (threat) that the enemy can't just counter by walking out of it or with some minor reorganization. Also keep in mind that AP's will generally drop over time due to getting further away from the supply source, so Speed might not get you even 100 AP's. The time scale already reduces the consequences of the lack of mobility of the Soviets substantially. There's a significant command point hit when changing HQ's, so a reassigning loop is a serious waste of command points for a very marginal benefit. Maybe a slight increase in cost could work, but at the moment I'd be against nerfing it. - As a suggestion: a revision of the auto entrenchment rule so that you only get part of the benefit it currently gives after moving into a hex. Considering the infrequent availability of artillery, casualties from dislodging units from a difficult terrain hex they entered in their phase of the turn can be a serious pain.

Suggestions / requests: - Higher (fighting) values for the SS. - Higher Hard Attack values for the pioneers. - Hotkey for easy quick centering selected unit on the map.

If you decide to implement 'undo' function, please prevent it from being used as cheating tool.

Templer_12 -> RE: Suggestions / requests: (7/23/2012 6:32:52 PM)
Suggestions / requests: - The Russians should have bonuses in wintertime. We say in the later years of the war in any case!

Mark Hemns -> RE: Suggestions / requests: (7/23/2012 7:13:37 PM)
I had the same problem with misplaced moves during beta testing although the problem does tend to go away as you get used to the interface. I always switch on the Autosave option, so that at worse you only lose the turn you are on if you make a mistake. quote: ORIGINAL: ashenz If you decide to implement 'undo' function, please prevent it from being used as cheating tool. That is why an Undo function was rejected when it was suggested in beta testing.

Suggestions / requests: - If you click to cycle the regiments in the info bar then the corresponding regiment counter on the map shout jump in front of the stack an the map!

Your right, i guess i used the wrong terminology. I dont really think its overpowered, as much as it is a little cheese, with resigning units to an hq to play another card on them, i know it lowers readiness. But it seems when you reassign a unit you shouldn't be able to play any cards on it the first turn of reassignment. Or something like that. I do however find myself using the speed card more than any other card though. Because the nature of the game outmaneuvering is the way to go over fighting. I dont know if requiring a delay for the card to be played a round is good, because it might be hard to remember which units you played the card on. If there was a unit marker that could highlight units with active speed or other bonus' than i dont think it would be a terrible idea, because it would increase the strategic planning. But other than that it might be more annoying.

I would like to be able to cancel movement orders using the hotkeys (G and M) instead of using Escape. Clicking on M to select a movement order then clicking on M again to cancel the order. It's a little thing but would make life easier.

jack54 -> Suggestions/requests (7/24/2012 4:36:30 PM)
I would love to see a hotkey that displays (approximate) TOTAL HEX Strength 'offensive' or 'defensive'. It would be much easier than; spread units, change to silhouetts, add up units! I'm new to this but it seems like a nice system so far! :-)

Templer_12 -> Suggestions/requests (7/24/2012 4:53:10 PM)
Suggestions / requests: - Blizzards. Visibility less than 10 yards.

SteveD64 -> RE: Suggestions/requests (7/24/2012 5:02:04 PM)
Hotkey to turn HQ power on and off, please. [:)]

Well I haven't got CB yet, still in the "Just Married" phase with WtP (Wife is not happy after a couple all nighters!!). I AM getting CB as soon as money allows, no waiting for a sale/demo this time. I regret too much the time I could have spent with WtP already. But having been reading the forums hungry for news I can mention a couple things. Could it be possible to have an undo just for movement, but not possible if you have engaged in combat or been ambushed? You'd also have to disallow undo if you sighted previously unseen enemy units, to prevent it being used for recon. I love the idea of a tooltip or something to define composition of air units from a list as suggested above. Having Katyushas standing toe to toe with frontline units doesn't sit right with me. Or being one shot wonders. I think the idea of making them 2 hex range like regular artillery would be more realistic in game terms, even if it fudges the realistic range a bit, to keep the spirit of the weapon (can't recall the range off the top of my head). Congrats on another hit Vic. WtP is the best computer wargame I have ever played and I can't wait to get my hands on Case Blue.

Suggestions / requests: If you zoom with your mouse wheel, the zoom should center around your mouse pointer. The way it works actually is a total catastrophe. [:(]

This would make life especially easier for me, since with my widescreen i cant zoom in anywhere except center becaseu i cant move the sides off the map.. Templar is a good critique'r, his advice is solid.

1) Introduce new tank types actually present in the theater of operation in large quantities (i.e. Panzer II, Valentine, Matilda, T-26 etc.) 2) Allow the editor to modify the stats or the existing pieces of equipement and to create new ones 3) Rationalize the spelling of city names. Now the game uses English, German and Dutch transliterations all mixed up. (not a big problem but if might be confusing for someone)
