The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Strela]

And a little question, you say that enter in a minefield made units suffer casualties, ok, but you say that leave the minefield has the same effect... how works this???

And a little petition, is possible add with the game an alternate art for german/SS counters??? grey for armir, black for SS??? thanks.

Xaver,

Sorry my error on the minefields. You only take casualties when you move into the minefield - not out of it. If you end your turn in a minefield you will start the next turn isolated. The only way to prevent this is to either exit the minefield immediately (if you have the movement points) or move an engineer in to clear it over the next turn.


As far as alternate game counters - be VERY careful going there. All the unit graphics use a mask to allow only the appropriate portion of the divisional markings to show. That's how you see more divisional marking on the NATO counter. The mask is colour coded to the 'centre' of the current counters. If you want change the colour of the centre, you have to go and change all the masks.

What you can change are the borders - be aware we went through a huge range of colours to get them as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

Below are the finished counters and the components that make them up. The light blue in the centre is the mask;







And I went through my email - here is the original range of colours for SS & German counters that we experimented with back in January 2013. It's clear that the grey mask wasn't updated for these tests. Not many of these colours passed muster. Don't underestimate what is involved in getting colour's right;
