Status: offline 		Am finally preparing to dive in the GC, Allies vs. IJ AI - but am wondering which update I should use (since I'm bound to be stuck with it for the duration); the
last official patch is 1.01.06i, I believe. Should I use that one, or wait for the next official patch, or use a Beta-patch?

Thanks for any advice,
Houtje

Playing against AI you can update anytime you wish.
And even playing PBEM you can, as long as you and your PBEM partner follow the update rules.

Whatever, as you want to play against AI (as I do) I strongly recommend to update to the latest patch (currently 1108p1).

But it will cause quite some confusion regarding new rules etc. I cannot remember that I upgraded strategy games while playing a campaign at all.

I agree with USS America. I avoid the beta patches, even if they appear to be stable for most players in this instance. Twas not always the case, I can attest. Stick with the official patches-they've been vetted pretty thoroughly.

Status: offline 		I totally disagree as the betas have some pretty major changes that really help the play of the game. I am using the M8 version with NO issues and have been for many turns.

I even updated a PBEM game to K6 (?) to help fix some issues we were having and that has worked wonderful too.

Status: offline 		With latest official patch you will face few bugs, which were fixed in beta:
1) Aircarfts onboard CVs do not rest
2) Some ships do not return to pool after disbanding
3) Pilots appear from air, if their pool is empty (they should be pulled from trainee pool), this is serious problem for Dutch, Philippines, and China
4) Some LCU Devices can change to different type, and you can end with LCU unit with only support, and no Infantry Squads.

The last one is impossible to repair, so to avoid this, you should use beta from the beginning.
