| Post subject: | Scarecrows |
While playing one of the Big East Tournament scenarios (Antietam #186) I noticed that, in 3D mode, there are scarecrows in the two big fields near the centre of the map. I checked a few other scenarios in that title and a couple of other titles but could find no more scarecrows. So, I guess one designer was having a little fun in a scenario he was involved with for the graphics. Are there scarecrows in other scenarios? Has anyone noticed any other unusual things like this? A nice touch WDS. It put a smile on my face when I saw them. |

I think they used to be called easter eggs, and there were a couple in Murfreesboro way back in Talonsoft days, including one with witches dancing around a cauldron. |

I was talking with my opponent about the scarecrows but he doesn't get them. He even sent me a screenshot of the fields in 3D mode - no scarecrows. So, in Antietam (WDS v4.0) Scenario #186Cedar Mountain (Equal Force Fight #4) do other people see the scarecrows at {16,16} and {18,20} in 3D mode? There's plenty of other things on the map (in 3D only) including: hay bales; cow; stable with horse; and some other things I can't quite identify. |

<Salute> Suh, I cannot resist a challenge  so I went and had a dekko at 186 Cedar Mtn EFF, as you said. There are brilliant scarecrows in the 2 hexes you indicated in 3D. I didn't have enough time here tonight to look in any greater detail but they're definitely there ! Maybe the Union boyz are just short sighted, that's why they gave them repeating rifles...just point in general direction n squeeze the trigger Nice Find Suh |

I thought it was General Newell in civilian clothes when I first saw one. Swear to God!

Nice! I took a look. At the Crittenden House (18, 28) there's a female figure in a pink dress holding a rifle!

This was the first thing I thought of Mike! I knew one of the games had a shark in a pond and it was Murfreesboro as well. At hex (98, 32) |
