Johan, I've got a comment on the map. Nice as it looks there is one big problem, having used it as an example in some of my other posts. The (nice looking) counters are in most cases obscuring the names of the provinces they are in.
I had to look up the area in Google Maps and workout the likely names of the provinces from the cities/towns that I could see.
Even if our general knowledge of places like France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Russia is OK, I think most people who don't live in those places will not know them well-enough to identify most of the provinces from their position on the map in HOI2. With four or five times as many land provinces in HOI3 this is going to be much more difficult. And certainly we won't have a clue when it comes to less well-known areas (with all respect to South West Sweden
).
We need to be able to see the province names on the map. So could your graphics designer please look at the positioning of the counters and province names to try to ensure they don't overlap?
IMO at this zoom level the font size on the province names and the size of the counters can be comfortably reduced to fit them in next to each other.
On a related note. The problem of managing units in so many provinces. When we get messages in the log that "1st Infantry Division has arrived at Stromstad" this is really difficult to immediately picture the importance of, because I can't even always remember which theatre/front the province is in, nevermind where in that theatre/front.
Could we have more information, please. Even something like including the country name:
"1st Infantry Division has arrived at Stromstad, Sweden".
If we have proper OOB, then even better would be:
"1st Infantry Division (II Corps, 3rd Army) has arrived at Stromstad, Sweden"
If I know the 3rd Army is engaged in South West Sweden then I should be able to find the province/unit fairly quickly.
And instead of:
"1st Bomber Wing has finished it's Ground Support mission"
Could we have:
"1st Bomber Wing (2nd Air Force) based in Goteborg, Sweden has finished it's Ground Support mission"
