All complaints should be directed to Martin James. I am a mere pawn in his diabolical machinations.

Many thanks Uncle Billy.

But now you have disgorged the required files, you need to be terminated with extreme prejudice, so no loose ends remain, and I collect the royalties. Well I am diabolical after all

Am forming an elite SWAT team for the purpose. Stand by, Hays & Digby - there's money for you in this. No, forget the washing-up Diggers..... this is more important. Oh hang-on a minute, KG Soldier has just volunteered to do it for free.

One thing I am not, is cheap.

I am so glad that I have managed to avoid taking any responsibility for this.

Hey Kevin, I just tried this, and broke it immediately:

I gave a division commander an order to move to a spot a little way ahead of me, and then flicked to the map (while the division commander was still selected) - and it showed a black box where I had asked him to go.

That makes it too easy for me to know where I am.

Can it be fixed?

I don't think so. I think that is a game engine graphic. Just don't cheat and all will be well.

Well, I wasn't even trying to cheat, but it immediately gave the game away. Are you saying that, when I want to view the map, I must ensure that I have myself selected?

By "game engine graphic" - do you mean the little black square is hard-coded?

Yes, I believe the square is hard coded and cannot be removed. I don't view it as a cheat. I think a commander's staff would know the general location of the unit. They just would not necessarily have a moment to moment update on their precise location. I think it perfectly fine for a player to know his general starting location. But after that he should be responsible for knowing where he is on the map. It makes navigating the road system much more interesting. That is especially true of the Nap maps I made. I deliberately left off some of the roads, to simulate the imprecision of the maps of that period.

I'm certainly looking forward to trying it out!
