First of all, I'm not sure if this is supposed to be in the Rec Room or if it could belong in the Axis & Allies General Discussion section since it is pretty Axis & Allies related.
I posted this on the Larry Harris message board late last night, or I guess very early this morning.
Hey hey, I just wanted to let people know that I am going to be (eventually) making a game that is most likely going to be some sort of Axis & Allies hybrid.. I havn't figured much out yet about how I want the game to play out, but I do want it to be hexagon based. It's just a matter of if I want it to be closer to A&A:Minis or possibly like D-Day or the upcoming Battle of the Bulge.
I just started this project yesterday, and have only worked on possible artwork thus far.
Once the gameplay mechanics are pretty well thought out and written in an organized fashion, I will start the basic coding in Gamemaker. Gamemaker is a well, gamemaking program that I have been learning for some time now, and will need to still learn quite a bit about before I can make this game into what I want it to be.
Anyways, back to the artwork, this is what I have completed so far.

I know the Panther and Sherman might not look completely accurate, I just hope it's easy to know which is supposed to be which. ;)
The soldiers that I have right there are just basic riflemen, m1 garand and kar98 respectively.
The other thing hopefully looks enough like a flak88 to be recognizable. :D
Anyways, those are some rough ideas, and that's what I'm trying to get the game to look like. If there is anyone here that wants to help in any way (ideas, graphics, programming, etc) just let me know.
Oh, and if you want to critique anything, go for it. I think the tanks don't look amazingly accurate, but I hope it's enough.
Ah, one last thing, maybe.. If this post has been an unorganized mess, it's 4:30 am, so cut me some slack. Or don't, whichever. :)

I just wanted to add a quick last note that I didn't add in my original post, I know the tanks, soldiers and flak88 aren't in scale to eachother. I'm well aware that those guys would not fit in those tanks. I was just trying to somewhat make it more similar to the boardgames.
Hope ya like, if you have any suggestions, comments, or would like to help me, just let me know.
