solops -> The Greatest Game I'll Seldom Play (7/15/2004 3:55:45 AM)

I love Korsun Pocket and Across the Dnepr.....but they will get little play time from me. Its not because I don't like SSG or the game style. Heck, I own every game they have published, back to the Apple II version of Reach for the Stars! and loved them all (except for the fantasy games; no joy there). No, the problem with KP is the graphics. On my 17" monitor they are simply too blasted small to work with. And then after laboriously peeking and magnifying through a turn, the difficulty of seeing the map and units during combat replay takes away much of the enjoyment. The scale presented is too small to be easily seen, and the units and terrain all not all that crisp to begin with. (Rivers are devilishly tricky to spot between units). I have tried everything including a magnifying glass (a real one, not the one in the game) and seeing what is there is simply too laborious. The game itself is spectacular. I cannot say enough good things about it. But never have I seen software more desperately in need of user-adjustable scale resolution. The magnifier in the game is nice, but ultimately of little use because it covers such a small area and you cannot issue orders in while using it. SSG, please fix this and PLEASE don't let BIN out the door with the same problem.
