Thanks, that does look like a slight offset to me as well. I'll forward this to Iain for a look. We're still in the process of another graphics update to cover new terrain zoom/micro-zoom terrain and some other new things. With any luck, this should be the final one. :)

Regards,

- Erik

Status: offline 		I have a question....I do understand that troops with low supplies will not fight as well and have their values lowered. My thoughts are on Japanese units...we all know they are fierce opponents even under the worst conditions...well defending to the last man anyway. Will I simply be able to roll them over or will they still put up a fight. I want the Japanese to die fighting you see and I would hate to roll over defending Japanese troops low on supplies.

Well just a thought.

Cheers
Dan

Fanaticism, caves, and orders to fight to the last bullet. ;)

Edited to add: If you are able to roll over Japanese positions easily, there's something wrong with your opponent or your computer. ;)

thanks,

BF use three set of basics drawing elements :

* Background (60 colors)
* Front (60 colors)
* Symbol & numbers (30 colors)

This allow designer to use a broad spectrum of color mix. The drawback is that colors match is machine dependant. What can appears fine on a designer computer may lead to less convincing color mix on another machine. Once scenario design completed, we'll make an more general review, making the needed adjustment for colors at this time.

Status: offline 		I forgot the colors would be somewhat machine dependant. Can a player in a scenario change the colors, or only the scenario maker ?

So where are you guys in the schedule ? Any plans for a second beta test round, or are things getting closer to wrapping up ?

I look forward to Battlefields.

This due to difference between monitors. The difference may be small but enough to be noticable. Colors can only be modified in editor.

I'll let Erik answer you on this ;) However, as Erik already stated on this board, we'll release BF only when completed, even if it means another delay.

Thanks for your interest.

We are indeed planning to have a second beta test. The first beta test allowed us to fulfill as many tester and designer requests as possible while fixing bugs. The second beta test will be focused on playtesting the scenarios and doing work on remaining bugs and any compatibility/stability issues. I'll post here in the future about that as we do plan to augment the tester pool.

Our release has been moved back, but I don't want to announce any new dates until the second round of testing is well underway. We've also recently added another programmer and once he's had a chance to settle in we'll have a better idea of how that addition will affect our project timeline.

Thanks, we love to hear that! :)

Status: offline 		You will find this hard to believe, but a few days ago as I was waiting for Korsun Pocket to be released, I was thinking that it would be great if an operational game would appear that was similar to the V for V/W at W series. I was just surfing the forums looking at the Korsun Pocket and Empires in Arms forums and came across this game. My god, how did I miss this. This is what I have been looking for since Operation Crusader. It really sounds like you are crafting the perfect computer wargame. I can't wait to see your final product. If it wasn't for Matrix, I would be in a wargame wasteland. Us old board gamers have been neglected to long.

Yes, you were registered in October 2001 :)

I too am an old Crusader W@W player. I will soon have Korsun Pocket and this great game of battlefields! as well.

I am also an avid fan of Uncommon Valour. Great game You must try it.

Yet the best wargame I have ever played is the Close Combat series :)

Status: offline 		Yeah, Close Combat was good; the scale was just a bit to low for my tastes though. I've been checking these forums out for some time; mainly to see how Empires in Arms was coming along. I only recently got an interest in Korsun Pocket, so I guess it is understandable that Battlefields has just registered on my radar screen. I'm a bit slow. I played the original TAO and really look forward to the new SSG offering. It's a good time to be a wargamer.
