If so what change needs to be made to allow the load to work?

No, I pre-ordered the game there. Now I didn't even find the game on their site.

I pre-ordered and bought it from Stardock, then I downloaded it by impluse.
I can wait a bit more time for the official pathc.
Thanks for your assistance.

In 1937 China campaign I have encountered this with an Armored unit. Can only attack Armor once.

Still checking.........

Status: offline 		A single air attack per unit seems consistent in all my many tries. I will now wander into the realm of anecdote and speculate that the single attack seems a bit more potent. I find myself using every air attack I can. I have not explored this in any depth.

Moving this to the big thread as you are correct about the change.

While only a single attack on a land unit is allowed, it help the AI tremendously.
The AI would always make several attacks and then it would have to replace their losses.
The AI is programed to replace losses on air as a priority.
The losses in combat is too high when attacking. There is a 90% chance the attacker will loose 1 strength point.
While this change helps the AI manage it's PP's more effectively, it harms the human player by making bombers useless.

Before one could use 1 to 3 bombers and make 2 to 6 attacks to weaken the defender enough to increase the odds on a land attack. Then the land attack would succeed and push the defender back. The attacker would pay heavily for this in PP's to reinforce the bomber losses.

Now a player does not have this choice.

The affectivity of air power needs to be increased a little like in the Rising Sun.
The other alternative is to make air losses as floating, using .5 increments.
While an attack by strength 10 bomber may be shown as 10 after the attack, in actuality it is 9.5, and a player can tell by looking at efficiency. It will be reduced because a loss of .5 in strength.

It's in your start folder, too. The patch won't update yet, though. I suppose it's not quite ready.

Status: offline 		We just wrapped patch 1.05, which should deal with all CTDs and be available next week.
As soon as Matrix version will be out we are going to release version for autoupdater.

Any CTD issues found in 1.05 will be fixed trough hotfixes as soon as possible. This will allow you to continue your started games.


Thank you for your patience and continuous support. We will think about something that will reward our delay.

So, stay tuned, wait for official announcement of 1.05 patch and expect next information.
