And now ? (WinSP dreams)

[cbreedon]

Age of rifles goes to 1914.... SPWWII starts at 1930 16 year gap of cool stuff... WWI, Russian Revolution, Mexican Revolution, expansion of Poland, German Freikorps exploits, same in Austria. All sorts of mayhem to recreate :-)

Yes and of course the game had CORPSES on the battlefield when a unit is destroyed

Play the Great Battles ancients series if you want corpses. Men horses and Elephants - and they even float down stream if they get killed in a river. If things get too gory, there is even a "clear corpses" button - the Romano-Greek version of bulldozers and lime wagons.

Lol yes I know this game too but under xp its mission impossible to run it. Its not a question of gore but if you take for example Age of rifle or the Xcom series or even combat mission there are bodies of the fallen so why not in sp series ? After all we are not playing a mario game where the target flashes and then poof disapears
The wrecks of the vehicules proove that this can be done also for "soft" target and we could even include a supression factor for units near corpses (the view of death always demoralize).

I'm beginning to wonder if your last name isn't Price...

At ground scale, one body is 2 pixels, at vehicle scale, 13 so not much more than greasy smears.

While an interesting piece of chrome for some, not too high on my wish list.

The morale effects of nearby unit destruction can, and may already, be built in to the code.

Of course when I said corpses I think of "generic" corpses like one corpses to figure the distruction of an entire squad like in combat mission and of course not 12 corpses for a squad... here is a little sample (not my work) of what it could be looks like

I'd like to see a Arid terrain type for the editor.

A mix of dead and green trees, Default hexes are like the bare earth ones (Perhaps a bit more grass?), Yellow high grass year round instead of just in the winter and muddy water which could also be used in the Jungle terrain setting because South-East Asia does not look that good when the Mekong Delta is bright blue instead of the color of mud.

Edit:
Also, Is a toggle for Engineer squads so they don't clear mines possible?

Rather childish query, if you want corpses you should find better than SP series.

Plus GB series works correctly under xp once you set it on Win95 compatibility mode.

Combat mission, Age of rifles and age of wonder etc... all these games have corpses so it makes them childish ?

As I say to patG its not about gore bur more for the "feeling" of a TRUE battle.

I have XP, and run Age of Rifles. Had to do a bit of hacking to make it work, but noting advanced. However, I think the SP-series could be pressed back to 1900, but not much further. Earlier formations were all important.
