Love the animations posted. Do not see the need for more detailed battle. Do first expansion instead.

I figured I'd throw out my interest at least. I'm still incredibly stoked that this is even a product at all. I've been missing this for quite some time. It was essentially PG/AG/Fallout for half a decade; PG/AG fell away and the Fallout franchise became bastardized. This is a truly faithful game. I'm excited to play it.

This is old school. The good old school. I'm already feeling 15 years younger.

Love the animations...but 1 minor criticism...the wuhrframen has 6 tubes, but only 5 launch effects?

They're not required any more than flaked chocolate is not required on chocolate cake that has chocolate frosting... but I don't anyone would complain if you added it

Actually I did bring this up, and requested it, in the much-commented post about future feature requests. I was dismissed as requesting something that was "controversial" and that no one wanted. Now it appears as though at least 2 people would like to see this feature. Understanding the issues of producing this in-game, it may be out of the question, but for people who recall this as a feature in PG/AG, I think it was at least "appreciated" with an option to turn-off. For those not familiar with PG/AG, it could actually help build involvement with their units and the battle.
