Hello
For me the GUI is just fine, quite simple and seams easy to use.
Of course you need to understand the game mechanics but when this is done the GUI will be very powerfull for the user.



I tried to make the interface as clean and as easy to use as possible. The game play is deep, and I wanted the user to focus on the game action rather than fight with the interface.

It's very simple to use the interface: left click on the mouse to select a hex, left click to select units or only weapons (to combine multiple units + weapons selecting together simply left lick + CTRL key down - like selecting multiple files in windows explorer) and right lick on the mouse is used for actions like move and fire...that's it!

The graphics of the game in my opinion is good.
But I wish I had more information on AI, both offensively and defensively; I think the AI is one of the most important factors in this game.

Thanks!

Perhaps matrix games can provide the videos as a separate download or include the videos as part of the download package, I will double check with them and get back to you.

Status: offline 		Excellent. Thank you for checking into this. It would be great to have them as part of the package somehow.

So, the tutorial scenarios are actually playable, with a step-by-step walkthrough in the manual? Sort of like the John Tiller Games tutorials? If so, this is GREAT news.

I love the tutorial walkthroughs in manuals. This is my preferred way to learn for wargames like this.

Status: offline 		I just finally watched the video. I think I will enjoy this game!

However, when you fire and miss, the results text doesn't show anything. Can't you at least show "Miss" or something?

Not showing anything at all just feels very wrong.

I just watch the tutorial on scenario map and scenario setup on the main page.

Very Impressive!!!

As some of you know, I'm a big Campaign Series guy. But after seeing this video tutorial for Tigers on the Hunt I'm hooked on this new game system and will probably give it a try when available.
When is the release date and are there game play video tutorials available?

Cheers!
Big Ivan

Watching tonight's twitch stream had me thinking the exact same thing. The amount of clicks per hex would be greatly reduced by defaulting to select all from the start. Even for single unit hexes, no sense in clicking to select then having to click again to select the only thing there.

Status: offline 		Guys I can forsee a problem that that...

if it defaults to selecting everything you will have messages popping up all the time.. (i.e. when you select something that can't do what you are trying to do)

let's say I have a hex with 3 units and a leader and its the movement phase. 2 of those units are broken and 1 unit has alredy fired, and the leader is pinned.

When you select that hex you will get a warning message that says, .....broken units can not move....
Then you will get a warning message that says, ....... units that have already fired can not move....
Then you will get a warning message that says, ...... pinned units can not move...

It would be just to much of a hassle to deal with all of those messages popping up all the time. Selecting units isn't that hard and becomes second nature very quickly for you. I was hoping to get Peter to add in a select all button for times when you can select everything but the programming isn't ready for that just yet. Maybe sometime when he gets a chance to do it..

Hope that helps.

That would require an total rework of the code and alot of man hours... just so you don't have to click on a few units? Not sure that would be worth the
effort when Peter's time and efforts should go into something more important, like explansions and net coding for multiplayer, ect...

Status: offline 		The classic debate has surfaced here quickly. We have already got extra content on day 1 (thanks to Jorgen). Plus I have a feeling many ported scenarios will be coming down the line. So I am very much in the camp of the developer taking time to improve the UI and also add requested features like multi-level buildings, multiplay mode, etc.

Haven't really done a lot with squad-level combat since Kampfgruppe, really looking forward to this.
