Goodaye,

I've just upgraded my Battlefront copy to a Matrix one. Much appreciated. I have a question on the 1.70 patch that's incorporated in the Matrix version. Your readme lists an 'improved fatigue system' in tactical battles. How does this work in practice?

Cheers,
Lancer

Old version:
- moving hexes caused a readiness loss depending on terrain type (causing cavalry to tire too quickly)
- half of the readiness lost in battle was recovered

New version
- readiness loss happens only after 20 (iirc) movement points were used up (this means that generally on most terrains you can move 2-3 hexes with 1 fatigue loss)
- readiness lost is not recovered after the battle

Some features remained:
- firing and changing formation causes 1 readiness loss

Goodaye,

Thanks for the fast reply. Can I clarify a few points?

"readiness loss happens only after 20 (iirc) movement points"

- What's 'iirc' ?
- For movement is it a case of a maximum of 1 fatigue loss or are there levels (of movement points expended) where extra losses kick in?

Cheers,
Lancer

iirc = if I recall correctly

I was wrong. You lose 1 readiness for every 30 mp you move with a unit. This is calculated and stored for every unit, once you have moved 30 mps, you lose 1 readiness.

I hope it is clear now.
