I'm see a font change in the UI, at least on my machine. Was that intentional?

As part of the UI revisions, many of the UIs have moved away from the comic book style font used in BA 1.

This German 37mm Stiengrette (sp?) is missing its texture.

Hi!

On the 2nd scenario of the Barbarossa Campaign, the actual force on the map when I began the scenario was different from what I selected in the force selection screen.

Please see below:
Force selected Force at Start
MG34 - 1 2
Mortar - 1 1
Trucks - 3 3
slG33 - 1 1
Flamethrower - 1 2
Inf - 4 4
Engr - 4 6
Scout - 2 2
Halftrack - 10 10
IIIF - 2 2
IIIJ - 2 2
Stug - 4 4
231 - 3 3
Panzerjaeger I - 2 2
IVD - 2 2

I wanted to have the same number of trucks & halftracks as the number of leg units. So I basic had 13 leg units with the 13 halftracks & truck combination. At the start of the scenario, I noticed that I had 17 leg units instead of the 13. Is this a bug or is there an add-on to the force selection?

Just finished the 1st scenario--I think the move away from the comic book look is a very good idea--everything just looks better--the game itself runs faster now--the flow of combat is more even and the sense of the "360 degree battlefield" is well done taken from the battalion commander aspect of keeping the momentum of the assault going and using the assets at hand one step ahead all the time under the time limts

the editor dont work

You are correct, we have no yet enabled the editor. This is partly as we finialise some of the features, and partly to try and keep players focused on the newer features rather than on modding

where are my edited games?

The current version, v0.1.5, includes a fully functional editor:
http://www.slitherine.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 21&t=49589

i edited a battle but i cant find it to play?

Campaigns you have created in the editor appear will appear on the Campaigns screen and are stored in Documents\My Games\BA2\CAMPAIGNS.

I want to edit some scenarios before i play them,it can be done? i dont find winter ofensive on Campaigns screen

You cannot edit the included scenarios without creating your own campaign (in My Documents/My Games/BA2) to play them from.

I would suggest starting a thread specifically about what you want to try and do

I don't know what you are asking. I would suggest starting a new thread so people can more easily answer your question without necro'ing this one
