Title: The Drift Released!
Post by: spelk on April 06, 2012, 12:05:17 PM
It's finally out! So stoked for this game, since it depicts one of my favourite last stand scenarios in the Anglo Zulu Wars. Rorke's Drift 1879.

I snagged it.  The graphics look good.

I'm trying but my screen shots are too big.  How does one downsize with Hypersnap?

I didn't know that they were associated with HPS.  Interesting.

I may be wrong about this, but I thought I read Jeff Lapkoff was involved with HPS Tigers Unleashed.

Yeah, I was right! It's a Lapkoff co-developed game.

It looks like it might be an interesting game.  I can honestly say I've never played a game based on the Zulu wars.

I've played the NTW mod based on the Sudan campaign and it is great. This title interests me...any reviews posted?

  How does one downsize with Hypersnap?

From the main window with your image already loaded, select Image, then select Scale. from here you can use the slider bar to adjust down to say, 50% or whatever.

Thanks; the HPS images suffice.
