Thanks!

The graphics look great.

Hope there will be improvements on the engine as well.

For this go-around, for Campaign Petersburg, not much in the way of core engine improvements. The focus is more on UI, graphics, and foundational enhancements.

You can thank David Freer of WDS and the Old Banshee Team for the graphics advances. To Rich Walker, John Ferry & co. give credit for the background research, the OOBs, the maps, the scenarios, and the overall vision.

My time is divided between three different game series. WDS took charge of, and I only got full access to the CWB code, a little over three months ago. There is only so much one can do in three months, especially when not working it full time. Note that Rich and John & co. have been working on Campaign Petersburg far, far longer than us WDS Johnny-Come-Latelies.

Major engine improvements are for the future. But in Campaign Petersburg v1.0, there will still be lots of goodies. We hope you will enjoy it.

Great news!
And that Old Banshe's graphics are now stock art is great too, these mods are a must have.
A question here, I guess the older games will get the Banshee graphics too as stock art but will the Banshee weather scenarios also be added to older games?

Looks absolutely amazing! Long overdue for this nice graphics update.

Three cheers to Old Banshee for some recognition and all his hard work......Hurrah! Harrah! Harrah!

Also a lot of thanks to Berto and the WDS for thier efforts in creating these exciting new developments.
