RockinHarry 92 Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Now Xmas is getting closer..... ok, what do I see and what do I think it is, or will be.....New Trees, or foliage bitmaps and possibly more variable sizes. The deciduous trees are hard to judge. Obviously leaf less, but I would thin out small branches some more.The same (snowy) ploughed field tiles, leading to ugly distortion effects. Kieme, Aris...a job for you! New independent building textures, but most likely no new geometries. At least I seem to notice none.Lit windows at night time. Just a texture FX and no new light source I guess. Possibly an option in the map editor. (I reread the previous page. )Possible precipitation changes during course of a scenario, but most likely no ground tile changes (snow accumulation).New flavor objects.The Grease gun has received some wider distribution.And the obvious uniform, ground tile and vehicle textures off course.

Bud Backer 526 Posted December 5, 2015 Possible precipitation changes during course of a scenarioIf you mean going from no snow to deep snow in the course of a battle, that won't happen. It's one of the reasons I mention the weather changing on January 7th, whereas the battle itself takes place on the 8th. See the next panels 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one of the reasons I mention the weather changing on January 7th, whereas the battle itself takes place on the 8th. See the next panels No, I actually just meant change from rain to light snow falling, or light to heavy, or any precipitation (animations) stopped. No ground (tile) changes. That was made clear in the past, that it won´t happen, but it wasn´t on my wish list anyway. Edit: Almost forgot to mention, I like the comic style presentation of yours.

That you bring it up says a lot about just how immersive this game really is - it can feel incredibly real and we always want just that bit more. I think those desires are a good thing. Thank you. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What many folks don't know is that while this is a comic, and so a lot of effort is made to make it look a particularly way, the battle is real. Ian knows nothing about my forces, plans and so on. So please don't share anything with him! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kohlenklau 229 Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Looks like the BFC pack gave the US Army troops their backpacks back. Right? After a CMFI hiatus....This cold weather in the comic makes me want to heat up some c-ration coffee over a small fire.

TJT 13 Posted December 5, 2015 I like this very original way of telling the AAR. Kudos Bud! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BletchleyGeek 116 Posted December 5, 2015 No, the lights were a way to illustrate the location of the Lieutenant's command post without pasting a label on it. Plus they look rather Christmasy, don't you think? I had to ask It is Christmasy, reminds me how much I look forward to Xmas break. Keep these beautiful comics going, Bud. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
