Not had a chance to play with the update yet....did you see my feedback about the spanner icon? I thought maybe you could change the icon to a 'repair plane' or something like that?

Yes I'll probably change the icon in the Midway update, into the appropriate support aircraft - probably the de Havilland Albatross for the RAF and the Junkers 52 for the Luftwaffe. There is another update coming in the meantime with the Ploesti campaign which might still have the old icon.

While not realistic in the least, I find the spanner icon a nice clear indication of the team's purpose. If you do go the plane route hopefully it will have some unique color or something so as to not confuse it with an actual fighting plane (especially for us clueless gamers who know nothing about the many different makes of WW2 planes).

Completely agree - it still needs to stand out - but it's got to be different than a spanner icon. I'm sure karlth will get it right

Maybe it could be one of those Red Cross vans or something

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll make sure the support aircraft stands out.

v1.2 got delayed for 2 days and will be submitted on Wednesday. Sorry about the slight delay, but it will be worth it with a bundle of improvements and a new campaign (free of course).

[karlth]

Version 1.2 submitted.

New features:

• New Campaign: Operation Tidal Wave. Command the Luftwaffe as you defend the Ploesti oil fields against the Ninth US air force.
• 24 hour Status reports in all campaigns. Regular reports from HQ about the state of your defenses.
• Improved intelligence system, receive multiple intelligence message at the same time. Frequency dependent on campaign.
• Redesigned and clearer main menu system.
• Clearer labeling on in-game maps.
• Improved balancing.
• Minor bug fixes.

Thanks for the continued feedback and support.

Admittedly, when I first read that this was a line drawing game, I dismissed it as a game similar to a number of LD-game predecessors. However, a couple of gameplay vids I found online along with the current forum-speak have convinced me that there is more to the game than my over-generalized presumptions. I am buying this game right now...
