Problem is you are tempted to add new features with new bugs. Must. Code. Freeze.

EDIT: well there was the hex with Commander Jeep and a unit under it showcasing stacked counters. Duh

Yeah, that was just a handy screenshot from an ongoing test game. I have other screenshots, but I'm saving them for a future Coder Diary.

Meanwhile, here's a snippet of the "Raid to Libya" with thermos ON.

Status: offline 		Here's another snippet of the 2D Normal view with thermometers on. I have downscaled the picture to fit the screen, so everything's some 35% smaller than in real life.

I am playtesting Jason's excellent "121st Battalion" LCG. It is quite a challenge, having an element of Israeli 500th Armored Bde pushing along Suez Canal during Yom Kippur War.

In addition to thermometers, you can view my forward elements being properly ambushed by Egyptian Sagger teams. You won't see them until they hit you... And now I see two of them. Ouch!

Well there's the 0 year old 24bit bmp graphics to replace them with! Screenshots are available at the new Middle East forum, see my signature for a link.

For my 0.02, it was not really the bmp that limited the old versions, but the lack of proper new zoom levels. That's now fixed, and we can bring much more detail into play now.

Edit: here's today's version of the 2D Normal View (75%) terrain.

Still subject to change, we've got a week or two before the hands-off hour. There's been a lot of work going on with terrain, as you can observe if you compare to pictures above from June timeframe.

And to compare notes; here's the starting point of our efforts: what was the 2D Normal view, and what now is the 2D Zoom-Out View (50%), from East Front:
