Yeah, good point. We'll work on it. As for now... Multiplayer scenarios are marked as such. Single player... they boot with "Human Player" selected for the side that the human should play.

I'd like this myself. There are times when I'd like to be able to hide all units to get a better look at the terrain all at once, since I can forget every once and a while who's where if there are a lot of counters on the map.

Ok, I realized there's a very thin red line very close to the white one that indicates there's a unit not able to complete the path. Completely missed it until now, but I suppose I'm gonna get used to it...

Yep, board game does. We meant to take all reference to second level out of the book. If I redesigned the board game now, I wouldn't include second level. They're useless.


Well that's very disappointing to hear. In the other thread where I asked if there were any changes to the boardgame this was not mentioned. I consider this an important feature of tactical squad level boardgames and hope it can be added in the future, but your response tells me I shouldn't hold my breath. I wonder what other features have been taken out that I don't know about?

Though I don't recall it in the manual, I happily discovered during gameplay that wood buildings may collapse and disable an AFV if it entered the hex thereby also transforming the hex to rubble. Very cool! So, it seems like the coding to possibly collapse a building with large ordinance's hits is doable. Actually hitting a target inside a building becomes mute if you just collapse the whole thing right on their head! Transforming the battlefield (building to rubble) is very realistic and tactically presents an interesting challenge.

Status: offline 		At the moment i have not big request.The only easy request is to enlarge the the list of the weaponry like AFV,half-track and probably some gun.For example it lack a German AFV with flame thrower and some Russian AFV like T40 ,BT 7.This request is interesting only for those who want to develop scenarios.
I'm quite confident that in the coming months this request will be answered with a new list and proper counter images.

I was afraid to ask for this...but since its out there - it would be nifty. /wink Oh, and if not area fire how about FIRE in an AREA? Ya know, as setting the terrain on fire with an especially good flamethrower dr.

I wasn't serious and just wanted to annoy the dev teams for their fast updates and answers to our questions.
There's already a debate on this on another thread, Mark already explained why it's not in the LnL system. You can still disagree if you want... (the flamethrower is a great idea)

A quick tap of the Esc key works wonders on making those go away. I also found that the mouse buttons wouldn't advance them, but the space bar would.

Status: offline 		I use the esc key a lot to get out of different situations - not sure if I am correct doing this but the problem is I end up selecting the main menu and having to close it a lot of times in a game (and once in a hurry actually exited the scenario accidentally - not a huge deal but changing the keyboard shortcut for bringing up the main menu from esc to something else would be nice

Status: offline 		1) The ability to examine Cards at any time. i.e. when choosing op fire.

2) Rally button not highlighted for units disallowed to rally

3) Targeting crosshairs that turn red when not in LOS.

4) Faster rally phase. For such a fast paced game, this part really irks me

5) Multiple RoF for heavy MG's

The Message Delay option speeds up the pop-up message delays, I usually have this on 3. Is that the kind of speeding-up you mean or is it something more mechanical?

Status: offline 		Great game. A small improvement I can think of is to be able to move units like the 50mm mortar through building hexes.
Shouldn't be able to fire but should be able to move through terrain like this.

Cheers,
