COCAT to Support Projects?

[Double Deuce]

I'm thinking COCAT would be an excellent graphical tool for tracking development of the scenarios. We could plug in the maps and create units in COCAT to show locations, movement, equipment, etc. Of course the maps would need to be resized to scale to match COCAT. It would take some work and I would have to modify the equipment databases in COCAT BUT it would work.

Here is a sample screenshot. We can break down the units further to show actual position, facing and route of march. This would help in scenario design immensely I would think as it has 3 zoom levels (screenshot is most detailed).

This is great!

Do you think that we may (somehow) include this kind of represantation in the final product?

Perhaps something like a slide presentation (a self extract exe) ??

Anyway, I will ask Don if something like this could work with the SP campaign editor.

cheers,

Perhaps an outline written in MS Word with background information, history, map screenshots from COCAT showing deployment areas, screen shots from WinSPWW2, etc. Then take the document and convert to pdf as campaign companion handbook.

Screenshot added to 1st post! :salute:

Yes... very nice indeed :smoke:

We may work the background map a bit (maybe the zoom level) and we may then prepare a handbook pdf as you suggested.

This should add a lot in the final product!!

The screenshot is very poor quality. In COCAT when you take a screenshot it creates a very crisp (but large) bmp file. If we had topographic maps these can be used in COCAT as well.
