Second Front screenshots
I made this one in max zoom mode so it's a little big... As you can see the game is getting to the playable stage. This one is D-Day at about noon on Omaha Beach...If you look closely you will see Tom Hanks on the left

Here's another one from the British beaches where things are a little less hairy...

Great job, Nemo! You're right -- the half-track graphic is mucho better. Thanks for the sneak preview... can't wait for the scenario to come out!

Blimy that looks great,
just a little question: will both the Germans and Allies be playable in this one or is it Allies only?
Anyway keep up the good work

Very impressive, Nemo!
My favourite unit is the British infantery.
One suggestion: green/brown camouflage on the bunkers would also look good.BlahComment

why don't you put the same icon over the shield for the aircraft and the infantry of the Americans? I like the white star a lot better.

Thanks for the vote of confidence and the positive comments.
Just a few answers:
This one again will be a Nazi-smashing scenario, ie only playable as the Allies. It has so many features that are geared in that direction that I cannot make a playable from both sides:
The Allied are 2 Civs Airforce + Landforces so the planes can't land in France until airbases are secured. It's played in FW with an edit to the sav file so it's kind of a "Hotseat" game where you control 2 Civs.
The Allied motor vehicles require fuel to run and this has to be brought over from England in convoys.
The Allies have gliders with airborne infantry that need to land in Normandy (Try to teach the AI that)
And of course massive events which are geared toward the Allies...Basically I could build the reverse scenario but it would be an entire new game.
There will be approx. 8-10 phases each between 4 and 12 turns (Total 88 Turns) each phase will have its own rules, units and events.
Regarding the airforce Logo I wanted to keep it historical... That is the USAF logo... I also like the white star better. Maybe I should color in the background so it's not blue on green?
See this screenshot of the RAF fighters with their shields:

well, I tould be cool if they all had the same little insignia over the shield. Instead of looking historical, I always just thought you couldn't make up your mind as to which one to use.
Say, why are the allies green? I would think they'd be a bluish color. That's just me though.
