Re: Plans for the near future - Pt. 2

How are things going with NATO counters? I find sprites almost unplayable.

Re: question about unit display

It makes me feel pretty old and stodgy, but I just can't deal with all the extra info and motion from the animated counters.

Alsace, Ireland, Huguenot, Dutch battles/armies

Hello, I don't know the history of this era very well, but I am interested in creating some scenarios that use armies from the areas/ppls from which I am descended, which include Alsace, Ireland, Dutch, and French Huguenots. Can anyone think of important battles and armies that involve those regions...

pontoons & boats?

Hi,

I am playing a couple of different scenarios where impassable rivers are big obstacles. Is there any mechanism for pontoons or boats? It seems it would be more realistic if there was at least the chance of improvising a crossing.

Lostwithiel tactics

Is it worthwhile attacking the heavy Royalist fortification on the left flank or should I just stay away from it?

Re: v1.0.2 patch notes

I would like zoom out to be able to go bigger. I find it annoying that I can't see the whole battlefield at once.

What's next? More modules? What eras/armies? Will there be a Napoleonic version?

Historical recaps?

Where can I find some concise and entertaining histories of the battles in the scenarios? I know nothing about them and some context would be helpful.

ability to exit map in victory conditions?

Am I missing something -- is there some way to give units the ability to earn victory points by exiting the map through particular hexes? This seems like a basic feature that is missing and would add enormously to scenario design. WHat is the thinking here?

should previous games run correctly in 1.3?

I upgraded to 1.3 per instructions, but now I can't load the games I had in progress. Is that the expected behavior? Even if I start new games, how am I supposed to tell whether my new partner has installed 1.3?
