Need some help with WW2 PC games

[Bison]

Do the John Tiller Squad battle games keep track of individual losses after each battle?

For instance, after the battle is over is there a screen that shows how many men were lost? how many Panzer III's were lost?...etc...

Down load the demo game for Squad Battles at John Tiller Software.

Is it my 47 yr old eyes or does Squad Battles graphics looks the same as the JTCS graphics?

I see the Red Victory can show 3D units, but why do some of the other SB titles do not have that option?

Thanks for the video Richie!

Sometimes it's better not to ask why when contemplating features of Tiller games.


The less facetious answer is that Red Victory is a more recent game.

John Tiller designed JTCS before he went to HPS.

He then split from HPS to start his own place.

I don't know why Red Victory, Advance of the Reich, Eagles Strike, First World War have 3D and the others don't. I would guess that the (2) Pacific titles, (2) Nam titles, Korean, Winter War and a few others
don't could be that they don't have the correct terrain or 3D models.

I don't care for the 3D views in the Tiller/ HPS titles at all. The terrain looks DOS like to me. The new Campaign Series: Middle East 1948 -1985 has better 3D, but I like the 2D views better. To each their own.

Now I love the 3D in the Battle Academy titles, but I also use the top down views at times.

I think FWW (First World War) is newer and has 3D in it.
