Would it not be useful to be able to click on a log message and have the camera relocate instantly to the spot where your sherman has had its gun knocked out? Granted if you were playing on a very small map, it would not be a problem, but with max mapsize and scores of tanks, it could get a bit problematic. Or would one of your zillion other suggested features solve that particular problem?

Well, you could have a separate log window that did not interfer with or be in the way of the rest of the interface. Examples include RPG games like Neverwinter Nights, and the Infinity engine, with resizable log windows. The problem with this solution is that you don't see who says what directly. But it could be solved by linking a line of text with the unit name, to a camera reposition link aka a hyperlink ***:

***3. bat 2. company 4. squad***: bla bla bla

BTW another handy feature, would be a director's camera, that automatically jumped between the hotspots in a replay turn. Granted, it would not be so useful when checking the overall progress on the battlefield, but would instead make for good 1 minute action packed mini warmovies. Naturally you would want to be able to turn it on and off. It could also be implemented through a mini-window, like in conquest: frontier wars if I am not mistaken. You use the unit window screen in the replay phase to show the hotspots.

[osprey publishing]

I recently came upon http://www.ospreypublishing.com/ and I am considering placing an order with them. Are their books any good? Would somebody have a link to a similar site that sells military history books spanning ancient to modern times?

Thanks in advance!

[Soundscore]

Hi, does anybody know if there will be a good soundscore in the game. At least during the planning phase, it would be good to have some music in the background.
