I am curious about the supply system...

Great, really was looking forward to being included in the beta trials but it's not available for Mac.Way to go guys once again Mac users take a back seat to PC.

Actualy we have it running on Mac so it may well be included in the beta in a few weeks. It's more a matter of restricting error reports to one platform at a time during the initial stages of the beta.

really interesting to check supplies and campaign step.
very scare about naval fighting and damaged ship if they going to repair instantly after battle or need time depend on damage.

Hope I get picked to Beta test. Did I mention I was on the Panzer Corps beta team, hint,hint...

Can you tell me what sort of minimum playing time requirement you would expect?

Thanks

Hard to say, as long as it results in some sort of feedback it's useful to us. Even if it's only a single post with general impression of the game.

glad to see we can use unit counters
would it be possible to post a picture of that too?

The engine supports a range of settings, from fully animated 3D to boardgame style 2D. We're also thinking of adding another variation to display NATO class icons + unit type names on the counters instead of the unit icons. It's easy enough from an art point of view.

Some screenshots below (WORK IN PROGRESS).

Wow, I usually prefer 3D icons, but those counters look fantastic also. Looks like there is room for even more info on them, maybe even a leader picture.

Yes please, I like that option. I also think the boardgame style counters look nice.

Normally, I do not like 2D counter representations in a computer game but those are amazing! Me Like.

This only PC right? Mac and iOS will be separate from PC?

The beta announced now is PC only, but Mac should follow soon. iPad/Android will follow after PC/Mac release.

I like 3D but please, please add these 2D counters as well. They are awesome looking!
