Improves atmosphere and units are touched up. These are not the units for HW2 just cleaned up ones. The game is feeling and playing much better with each new update and is a game we should really keep and eye on.

I hope I can quickly implement the new GUI.

The new Division/Brigade AI will implemented after the new 3D Models.

After that, my activity will be on the improvement of the internal engine, not before releasing the New 3D Models.

The problem was to find a good position if there was a collision with an unit or an object of the map.
The first tests are very good after deleting some bad codes (always normal to make some errors).
Yet some problems with the river but nothing very important.

On vacation for some days... resume the march on the 15th of August... I hope a new version for beta test team on the beginning of September...
and a new version for HistWar at the end of September...

Hello,

VC is always in the HW team but now he can't work a lot on the project.
He is adding the comments on the sources of the program that he has developped in order I can quickly implement the new GUI in the game.
That said, the architecture of program was modified to share the different parts (GUI, 3D terrain/model) and I think it will be easy to use the VC's code.
I worked alone on the code during 18 years so it's not a big problem for me... and I am entering in a new sequence in my professional life so I can work a lot again... and not only at partial time :-)

Otherwise, VC will help me to implement the game into Steam; he worked a lot on this tool and already almost all functions run fine.

Laurent works on the uniforms... Romain is ready to help me for designing the last 3D models and the animations.

Patience my friends...

JMM
