Moscow '42 OOB

[Hadge]

Hello chaps,

Congrats to the project team on a fine piece of work in Moscow '42.

I'm just doing some personal updates to the unit .bmp pictures for M42 to suit my taste - as I suspect that Volcano Man may well be busy on other topics for a while.

In doing this I have come across a very, very, very minor issue - that has no impact whatsoever on the gameplay - just the esthetics if you change/update the unit pictures.

In the German units folder there are two units for Gen Heinrici -
1) - Gen Inf Heinrici
2) - Gen Lt Heinrici

However both the "Summer" and "Counterattack" OOB's have him listed as "Gen Inf Heinrici"

At some point during an update it would help to change the "Counterattack" OOB so he is renamed Gen Lt Heinrici, and therfore he can have a different unit picture (to represent him as XXXXIII AoK commander (counterattack scenarios)) from the unit picture of him as 4th Armee commander for the summer Kreml period scenarios.

Now a reality check - as it stands it makes no difference at all if you are using the game supplied unit pictures - but for preferance I like to use a unit picture representing the specific flag of the Korps or Armee - then it does make a difference.

There is a similar problem with Von Bock and Von Kluge in the summer scenarios too, but as there are no duplicate counters included presumably thats as its intended to be, so maybe we should leave that for the moment.
(I know its a "what if?", but why is Heeresgruppe Von Weichs commanded by Von Bock?)

I have also attached a replacement 2DSymbolsLg .bmp that takes care of the issue where Soviet Tank Corps have either just a unit size of "x", or nothing, on the unit tile on the board - use this and they will show as "xxx" on the unit tile - again, pure esthetics with zero impact on game play. Save or rename your original 2DSybolsLg and drop this in the "Map" folder and see what you think.

None of the above should detract from the obvious huge effort that has gone into this title, so please dont feel I'm intending to be critical.

Now all we need for Christmas is the next episode in the FWW series to make it a dream year for Tiller titles

Cheers for now
