I love your work Oleg! Many thanks from me.....

Continuing our interesting discussion regarding the deciduous vegetation of NW Europe......... I assume that you will have a 'summer' vegetation scheme, considering when the Battle of Britain took place.....

Currently IL-2 has a basic Summer landscape scheme, and for some maps, a Winter scheme......

My question is, have you allowed for more variations of season in the Storm of War game engine? (Allowing for later development) So for example, could there be a difference between early-Spring, and mid-Summer, and late-Autumn......? There could even be differences in the fields reflecting agricultural activity over the year....whether there are the tracks of the harvesters, or haystacks, or crops ready to be sown, or just stubble, etc etc etc....

Another question (and this relates to my ignorance of English vegetation)....from the screenshots, it seems that there is a 'standard' tree height........is there scope for allowing variations in height due to exposure? (trees near a windswept coast tend to be short and bent by the wind), and other location factors. (Trees in a valley might be taller and lusher because of greater access to water, and less exposure, for example).
