Can you spot the subtle new feature on the horizon?

The new Cold War turned hot wargame from On Target Simulations, now expanded with the Player's Edition! Choose the NATO or Soviet forces in one of many scenarios or two linked campaigns. No effort was spared to model modern warfare realistically, including armor, infantry, helicopters, air support, artillery, electronic warfare, chemical and nuclear weapons. An innovative new asynchronous turn order means that OODA loops and various effects on C3 are accurately modeled as never before.

Other than its a Canadian counter, what is different about the counter? Will modders love this new feature?

With that change we better point it out or people will miss it. Much ado about very little?

Good Hunting.

The Maple Leaf, I assume (the background image). Hard to see on that scale. I was hoping that maybe Canadians wouldn't be green. Just something, more Canadian. White and red? Maple syrup colored?

Red on white background. Maroon. I'm just an old school guy who loved colorful counters in games. Counter sheets were always more important to me than the maps. I'm sure most people will prefer the green.

Well, we are going to have national symbols in counters... some stars, dots etc etc, a good add but maybe as i usual see on this things is better give the option to have them or not, sometimes i prefer plain counters over elaborated.

maybe for my taste allways counter colours are a problem because for example for me germans are "grey" or "light grey" (well East Germany is "dark grey") and british "dark brown" for example (i see orange more for other WP nations maybe Poland or Cz...), i see as a good add to game the optionsto select the counter colours in same way you can select colours in highlights over maps.

Apart this ... OLALA DLC is coming??? maybe we can see it when the fat red old pervert try enter in our homes [:D]

I think they refer only to the counter art improvement (maybe a texture you add over counter??? i refer you have counter and over counter image) but a way to give orders to formations using HQ... is a good point to, maybe introducion in a far future formations, you not only give the order you can select the formation and this reduce micromanegement and give to HQ more value, lose one and you work a lot more with mouse [;)]

Nice to play as Canadians! I don't really notice anything except the Maple Leaf. Out of curiosity, would you be using First Clash by Kenneth Macksey as a basis/source for Canadian scenarios and or campaigns?

Thanks

Does a map of Kuppenheim qualify?

Keep in mind that most of the battles he describes are company vs battalion level fights. That would be 4 units of Canadians vs 4 units of Soviets.

If we were to do anything with First Contact it would more than likely be the entire books worth of actions in a single scenario.

Good Hunting.

That's because I'm in the process of making that map as we speak! [:D]

It's easy to see just how small his actions in the book are when you put Kuppenheim on our scale of map! [X(]

Hi, I'm very curios what the status of the Rastatt map and Canadian OOB is. I had the impression that both would have been included in a patch or addon by now.

We don't add new nationalities to patches.

Those come in full game expansions.
