I *thought* I had seen double ammo used when I first tested but I haven't seen it since and IDK why I *thought* I saw it the first time but Andy reminded me we HAD discussed doing that.. my brain **may** have been thinking we had and I wasn't paying enough attention to the test game...regardless any testing I did after showed normal ammo depetion

Another feature that makes the game overpowering and needs to change is the ability to load a save game in a single player battle and/or campaign. If you do bad you can just load a save game. That is just bad game design.

(yes I am kidding)

For a custom map used in a sceanrio where everything can be placed manually the game will use these as normal....the reason the game controls will not be changed to allow this at will is there are too many subsystems for basic game functions.....like V-Hex placement for one....automatic unit deployment for another that would have to be tweaked and tested to make this generated game usable ...we thought 20x20 was "small enough" and even that has some occasional issues crop up due to it's size but for making a small unit custom sceanrio these will work well.

Enjoy....

FYI the map generator will work with these but you can't autogenerate 15 high mountains. There isn't the "room" for the map generator to do much but give basic terrain

This expands the set. I recall from early SL that there were games that could be set up on two or three maps set end to end so this set gives 6 blank maps that can be edited using the existing map editors:

10x30
30x10
10x60
60x10
10x90
90x10

any larger combinations can be recreated with the existing game code. All of these will appear in the WW2 upgrade that will be released this spring

Man, more than I got for Christmas

Thanks also for making them true width and length also.

Yeah, sitting on 2000+ Advanced Squad Leader scenarios....

Had a LOT of fun with ASL back in the day.

Any thoughts on more "shots/reloads" for Tank countermeasures (trophy, etc)?

Don and I had some discussion on this awhile back. I believe it to be in the MBT Thread. If I recall correctly the number we discussed was 4 or 6 shots.

Regards,
Pat

There has been no change to the number of countermeasure "shots"
