Bil Hardenberger Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Instead of the pseudo 3D graphics... I know I would prefer a top down map with military symbols instead of what currently is being offered. It looks a lot like Panzer Commander (is that the correct game?) right now... The rest looks just great though. About time a product like this came out. Bil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 You could always mod the graphics Bil... Besides, little 3D horsies and tanks are CUTE! Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSX Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Looks a bit like the 3d graphics in TOAW. I dont mind though, this looks like a gread addition to my beloved CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan_gigante Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I think cuteness is key to any wargame... "Men, you will be assaulting Lollipop hill at 0700 tommorrow. Be warned - it will be defended by babies dressed up as pumpkins and puppies doing funny things, but I have no doubt that we can defeat our foe and win the day!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'll second the "military symbols" request. (I guess I wait for the mod.) I am sure this has something to do with growing up on SPI and AH war games and the counters with those symbols. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd King Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Panzer General rocked. I wish I still had that game... sniff.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan5681 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hey Nerd King, you can download Panzer General 2 off JP Panzers site (military history and gamers forum), it works sound mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 meybe you could just switch the symbols like in TacOps4. that would please everyone... on the other hand, its no top down view, so meybe there would be problems... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Krejcirik Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I hate the pseudo 3D graphics, I hope a top down map with military symbols would be possible. Something like Airborne Assault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Count me in among those wishing for 2d-military symbols. I'm pretty sure this will be among the first things modded for CMC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletRat Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Speaking from a military wargaming non-grog hacks point of view, I'm putting in a vote FOR the graphics. Not all of us can read those funny squiggles and symbols y'know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The counters wih numbers mean nothing to me also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC_Stele Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Why not have both? Two views of the map. You could use the NATO symbols for a zoomed out view of the map or just a different view in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A. Miles Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I like the graphics, sooooo much better than mere blocks with weird squiggles and doo-dads scrawled all over them. The age of un-interesting "I actually have to use my imagination" wargaming is over! It's the 21st century! Get with the program, people! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichenberg Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 How much time can the guy(s ?) at Hunting Tank Software actually spent on the graphics and still make an ok share with CMC? ParaBellum found (in another thread) a job add of HTS on the net (2002/2004) where Hunter was looking for artists for (most likely) CMC. IIRC he had offered to pay them - so this is not a pure fan project......and then having completely redone graphics - even in a more simple way??? I have major doubts that will happen....and I am a part of the eye candy crowd who his happy when the little horsies and the little tanks roam around on the map Uwe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yeh, even though I've been wargaming since a lot of you were in nappies, I also prefer the 3d figures to 'military' symbols. I think the way they've presented the operational map looks natty, and it's very easy to get a feel for the general terrain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
