The Panzer Campaigns series now has a new 2D Zoom In view that zooms in the view even closer.

How many of you would like to see this for the Napoleonic series? I know that John Corbin would vote for it. Would this interest you?

Please select the answer that applies to your play style.

It would help to figure out terrain features better.

I often us 2D views, and probably really do not need another myself, but can certainly see where it would benefit others, so I voted for #1. Even if not used, it could not hurt to have it available as another option.

Getting older and not seeing as good as I once did the zoom would be great. I have increased my monitor size but the zoom would be great.

Thanks

Hello,
I use 2D almost exclusively, so I vote yes!
Regards,

I guess I am a little different than most I actually use all map settings including the jump map when I play. I think depending on what you are working out each has a role. As for adding an extra 2d zoom for me not really required as I use 3d for close up however for people like Andy Moss I am sure it would be appreciated.

Salute!

Well my eyesight hasn't failed me yet, but indeed I play exclusively in 2D for HPS games. I'm happy with things as they are, especially in the larger games where it's the Jump Map which is the essential feature. However, another zoom in level could be useful although it probably won't improve my playing ability.

It couldn't hurt, the more options the better. :D

I only use 2D Zoom Out for troop movement and strategy planning
but I may be amongst the only NWC players actually spending most time playing in 3D view.
I *imagine* HPS graphics to be as pretty as Talonsoft´s games
and feel miserable as I play-
knowing that HPS games are fantastic, but look like s***

Maybe that is why I still rather play Talaonsoft over HPS

Fernando, have you upgraded your HPS graphics, or are you using the stock graphics. The stock graphics in the older titles are very poor, but the graphics modifications that you can download enhance the HPS games quite a bit. I never play with a full set of stock graphics.

I agree with Mark, after-market mod material definitely improves the game.

BTW Mark, you could have just said, "I never play with a full set..." I think I'd have to agree there, too. ;-)

No, Al, I never play with a full deck......... :wink: :roll: :shock:

Hey, one should always be thankful for whatever they have, even if it is only a single playing card with the corner torn and the spots worn off. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I did not know there were graphic fixes!

Thanks for the advice, could someone please attach a link or tell me where to download them?

Fernando, I will just send you my folders that already contain the files you need. What games do you have?
