Blood idea

[DRG]

We're not going to go with the "dead bodies" idea either......

Yep - absolutely not.

It was one of the silly things of the C&C? games (Arnhem) released by microsoft back in the 90s. When troops died there were corpses and blood splashed all over, and someone sqealing about "Ach, das blut!", if you had the sound turned on.

Made a reasonably good historical wargame into a silly arcade-gameish sort of thing.

So - no blood, or corpses.

Well then you should also remove the wrecks didnt you...
In my opinion corpses could even have an psychological effect on units near them by increasing their suppression level (the view of death)

I didn't understand why corpses would turn a serious wargame into a game arcade... After all its called a WAR game and therefore like in all war there are deads and they are in any battlefield...

We are not playing chess !!! I mean chess is an abstraction but here we have wrecks of vehicles destroyed so corpses would be the next logical step for making this game even more realistic.

wrecks provide blockages to LOS, and cost to move through hexes with wrecked vehicles. So they do have game effects.

Corpses/blood spatters etc is simply silly, and will not happen.

End of story.
