Regiment size in game?

Also, this game engine supports other ratios. Once the SDK and other files are made available, these options will be available. If not immediately, the near future, I'm also anxious to start testing this feature. :cheer:

That's great. I wonder if a 1:1 ratio will be available for a smaller scenario like Heth's first day vs the yank cav/inf? It would be very interesting to see what a full scale engagement looked like.

Are individual soldiers to scale with the landscape? That is one thing I have a hard time imagining when visiting Gettysburg... what did it really look like with all those men in combat.

Thx,

Double post by accident? I responded to your question above.

[Boyd]

yes, sorry. I double posted accidently. Thanks for your answer! Makes sense regarding the maps having to be 1:1.

thx

Now you're talking my walk. Love 1:1 scale, as represented with my SR1 mods for TC2M...GrayGhost, buglesandflags dot com.

Hope to dive into these the same way, once my testing obligations taper off some, they're very demanding of time at present. Besides, I don't even understand the different ratios engine here yet, so it'll be a while.

But wouldn't a 1:1 scale either throw off the battlefield size or make the sprites so small you could hardly see them?

Correct, that's why you would have to have a 1:1 scale map to go along with them to really do it accurately.
