MikeT Posted November 23, 1999 Share Posted November 23, 1999 Fionn, that scene makes me shiver just looking at it. Very nice. MikeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoop88 Posted November 23, 1999 Share Posted November 23, 1999 Unbelieveable is the best word! It's 60 degrees here but after looking at the screenshots I feel like it's minus-5 (without the windchill factor). Brrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charles Posted November 24, 1999 Share Posted November 24, 1999 Wind??!! That is TOO cool! This game is getting better and better! Gush mode off. ------------------ Not THE Charles from BTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Galanti Posted November 24, 1999 Share Posted November 24, 1999 Is anyone else having trouble with the church.jpg? I've been able to see all the others, but not that one... It's giving me a file not found error... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Deych Posted November 24, 1999 Share Posted November 24, 1999 That's a damn gorgious picture, Moon. *sigh* Is your build better graphically then the beta we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted November 24, 1999 Author Share Posted November 24, 1999 YES MUCH BETTER IMO ! This screenshot is taken from one of the Bulge scenarios. The fog etc is really atmospheric ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted November 24, 1999 Share Posted November 24, 1999 Yes, Greg, the beta demo is now, what, ten builds or so behind the current beta version, and each one introduced major changes. A lot has improved, graphics, interface and gameplay. Fog is in, thick fog, rain and snow, the grass and snow textures are different, ambient sounds are in etc. etc. - really too much to mention it all. BTW, the shot is from a historic map around Mortain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonFox Posted November 25, 1999 Share Posted November 25, 1999 I was just exclaiming to myself that that looks more like bocage to me than something out of the Bulge when I read Martin's post. Great shot of that nasty terrain. Is that the 2nd SS Pz or the 17th SS PzGd brewing up over there in the distance, he he. Fionn, How do you get a simple map like that Reisberg.jpg? If we could just get one like that with simple elevation data it would be really useful for the initial planning stage. Certainly a lot better than printing out view8 !

Mattias Posted November 25, 1999 Share Posted November 25, 1999 The fog is soooooo good looking! Now, will it be possible to make larger surfaces of water, i.e. lakes? M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Maragoudakis Posted November 25, 1999 Share Posted November 25, 1999 Nice fog. Feels like morning. Feels cold out there. There must be condensation on the weapons. We should wipe them. Lets pull out that portable mirrior, tak it on a tree and start shaving. Hard to believe there really is a war out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted November 25, 1999 Share Posted November 25, 1999 I just posted the fog pic and info about the game to a Wermacht reenactors mailing list I belong to. (BTW, I dont reenact myself but it is interesting reading. The info these guys have is nearly endless). I am interested in their observations about the game and thought the fog pic would get their attention. MikeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted November 26, 1999 Share Posted November 26, 1999 I just played Chance Encounter with Dense Fog as my *first* full game using this feature. It was so different to play, let me tell you! I did everything the opposite from what I do normally when I play. I was the Americans and basically bunched everbody up because visibility was so poor (200 some odd meters for max, but VERY low quality except at very close range). So when the Germans came upon me, they were faced with HUGE volumes of fire. Luckily, I managed to toast all three StuGs without the loss of a single Sherman. After that, it was nail biting, but a certain victory for me. I took a fair number of casualties, but wiped the AI out because I knew I had nothing to fear in terms of AT capabilities (the advantage of designing the scenario and playing it a half dozen times ). Sure enough, I think only one PS shot was fired at me, and because I kept infantry a little ways in front, that team never got off a second shot Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeAcH Posted November 26, 1999 Share Posted November 26, 1999 Will thunder be added to the ambient sound along with the rain? That would be nice. TeAcH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shaw Posted November 26, 1999 Share Posted November 26, 1999 That Fog shot ... was spooky. I am amazed at the level of detail and the continuing improvment in the game, BUT ... if you clowns don't stop posting stuff about "So I created this scenario with 6 buildings in the middle of the swamp with a Volksgrenadier Panzerfaust team hiding in the logpile..." I'm going to scream. Stop teasing us and give us the game already I know, I know, when it's ready <sigh>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
