Outstanding news, Bedbug. Thanks for the reply. By the way, are any of those buildings going to be occupy-able? The fact that some are burning/smoking might suggest that they were targets. Or is that just collateral damage?

I have never taken a good look at the screenies.
And wait for it...
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!! MUST GET GAME OUT. MUST PLAY. WILL KILL TO PLAY. MUST PLAY. THIS IS AMAZING!
Where is the option of 1:1 sprite ratings, and what about different flags?
Love the toolbar, as you can see.

No, buildings will not be inhabitable for this release. That is just collateral damage.

I love these screen shots. I can't wait for the game. Will there be a button for the reg/brig commanders to order troops to find the best available cover. IE if I'm along a sunken road or a fence line or wood line, will I have to position each of the units to get the terrain bonus or can I just click a button and the troops align along a fence/depression/rock?

Goes along with my idea about typing in orders and having your troops follow them, if they are smart enough to...

Good idea. At some point after the release we'll have an ideas thread. You'll have to put this one in there. We do have one for arty to find the good ground I think, but this is good too.

You mean these ideas will only come out in the second game!
