new graphics

Panzer Battles uses the Squad Battles 'larger' hexes. Panzer Campaigns is unchanged with the 'double size' zoom.

The only thing I believe John did with both games was to program the elevations which is actually a hexside. I'm not certain it was left in the hexside bmp though.

I don't believe there was any change in the layers but I could be wrong.

David, my worries comes from the fact that screenshots over at JTS clearly shows how changes have been made in the layers after this new PzC update are applied.
I am sure these changes work well for the original game, but they will create huge problems for MapMod, because it was made with the old layer logic in mind; where low objects always are placed on the map before high objects. A sudden change in this order will create weird side effects in MapMod that I wont be able to fix.

So just to be clear: I'm not critizising PzB or the new artwork. My worries are purely selfish - I am worried about the future of my own pet-project MapMod. Thats all.

Jison,

I was definitely not precious

Just wanted to make certain that you realized that there was a difference between the systems. I can't understand why John would make radical change such as reordering the layers. He set Panzer Battles up so that slopes didn't have precedence and rivers et al overwrote them.

Get Ed to ask John, or I can do it for you if necessary, we need your mods!
