Very small units - 6/27/2008 9:11:04 PM

I've just bought Battleground ACW and it seems like a good game.
But I have a problem with the 3D units - they're very small.
When fully zoomed in (the closest of the two 3d-views) I have a hard time making out the features of the units.
The reason I say this is that the units in the screenshots from the Borodino AAR seem much larger and have more detail than the units in my game.
I have a 22 inch wide-screen.
I tried changing resolution, but that just made the units more blurry, not bigger.
It's like I'm missing a zoom-level or something...

Any ideas?

Sadly the ACW units are small like that. Does not help that their uniforms blend in.

HiHi

Briny, dunno if this helps but make sure you haven't toggled 'off' the base of the unit, (Brown rectangle button next to yellow star) on the Tool bar.

All the Best
Peter

Ah, I see, it's supposed to be like that
But does that mean the units in the Napoleon game are bigger?

They are especially in normal 3D. Plus the units don't blend in that much w/the background the way they do in ACW.

I actually thought of getting both games in the bundle-offer, but refrained.
Oh, well. Let's see if I can't scrape the bucks together somehow.
