Can you make this optional, that the supply is out for bridge laying and minelaying pioneers are eliminated. Or can you send me this in an special exe-file for our mod JTJS meets PG23D ?

Thanks H.Balck

Status: offline 		How will variable visibility work with 1.04?

I thought variable visibility would work best with bad-weather scenarios, but I believe the floor for variable visibility is 5, which would mean variable visibility would not be available for bad-weather scenarios.

Someone suggested putting a ceiling and floor on the initial visibility setting. For example, if the initial setting is 5, the most it could ever go up or down would be 2 or 3 levels.

There was some discussion that visibility was changing between turns. If that is true, has that been addressed?

Additional details will be released when the 1.04 UPDATE is available for downloading.

Status: offline 		Some time ago I suggested using the mouse wheel for zooming in and out.  A lot of folks agreed but you didn't chime in one way or the other.  Will you be able to consider this for 1.04 (or future).  It shouldn't be all that difficult since it was added to TOAW.  Thanks.

Might come in the future, I don't know. I don't do the programming.

Add it to the wishlist.

That was fast! I applaud your making the assault and visibility optional!
I know some say it will divide the players into two camps, as if they weren't already!?
Options are always better, doesn't leave anyone out and I think people always respond
more positively to a choice, IMHO!

First off, let me thank you once again for all the hard work that you and others have devoted to improving CS and giving more life to our community. It's all deeply appreciated. I eagerly await 1.04.

Speaking of 1.04, giving people the option of using the new visibility rule and giving them an option to use the legacy assault rule or the new assault rule are very good ideas. It will go a long way toward healing the rift that seems to have developped in the community.

You may classify what I'm about to ask in the category of, "you can't satisfy everyone," and I will understand. But is there any possibility of a "compromise" assault system being incoporated in the future? It seems that I, and perhaps many others, like aspects of both the 1.02 and the 1.03 rules. It seems to me that assaults in 1.02 favor the attacker, while in 1.03 they clearly favor the defender. Is there any way that a version that somehow splits the difference will be included in a future 1.05?

Again, please don't interpret this as criticism. You clearly don't deserve any, what with your efforts to improve and preserve our little hobby.

New EXE's are being tested.
The glitches are fixed.
The odds are improved a little in favour of the attacker, although they are still not "automatic" as pre-1.03.
A full explanation of how they assault actually works will be available when the update is released, which will hopefully be very soon. It is being tested by the BETA Brigade.

Status: offline 		Regarding variable visibility, here's my guess (no wagering please -- this is for entertainment purposes only):

Because variable visibility will become optional, there is no point in retaining the 15 ceiling and the 5 floor.  If it's engaged, it'll apply regardless of the original setting for visibility.

It won't change between turns.

It won't change that often, which, as a practical matter, will restrict swings of more than 3 up or down, depending primarily on the length of the scenario.

Variable visibility will be more popular among players who play against the AI than among PBEM players.

Status: offline 		Jason thank you for your promp answer to my question. Iäm happy with the new propose upgrades to this program.

Since I play with the three Editions I also like see more DGC for the Rising Sun Edition. It sure lacks DCG in comparison to the other Editions.

We also need destructable Infrastruture like you are able to have with other programs.

Thank you Jason and Company!

Status: offline 		Hi Jason,

Wow, I disappear for a few days and already 1.04 is being talked about....lol....what happened to the updated update, to the update....1.03???

From the thread I have read thus far, I assume some significant changes are in order....am I to assume from this the indirect artillery fire vs tanks will also recieve a major overhaul? I hope so as this is really my only peeve, beside the upgrade glitches in DCG's.

But to refresh eveyone's memory...I suscribe to the opinion that arty is way over pwerful in DCG's....I am sure it works fine for stand alone senarios...or PBEM...but for DCG's no way. Increasing the replacements are fibne for the short term, however, I am looking for a more permenant solution...is this being addressed for 1.04?

Please keep me posted

The 1.04 UPDATE will replace the 1.03 UPDATE, offering what is described above.

Additional enhancements/fixes/etc will have to wait until the 1.05 UPDATE and beyond.

The 1.04 UPDATE should be available in the next week or two. We are just wrapping up testing for it.
