I remember those special terrain tiles

. Always wondered how they managed that. Used to use them myself quite a bit on maps.

I agree with you guys. Would be very atmospheric. Played the Stalingrad Factory campaign and the carnage was unbelievable at times and I often thought how neat it would be if there had been a few bodies left behind.

They did it by creating a separate terrain SHP file, ter90zx.shp. It contained at least 300 tiles, if I remember right. Dead cows, blown-down trees, wrecked vehicles, knocked-out guns, aircraft, fences, etc. and dead men. They were simply overlays, ie there was no LOS or MPs attached to them. Pure eye candy.

Wow, that sounds amazingly atmospheric.
Quite a resource for a creative designer.
