I just noticed this from Matrix homepage. Was it a slip to have it as there hasn't been a peep on either forum? Can't wait to get this add on package! Great approach to give us more battles, regional in 1862, and some more grand campaign options. I hope CWII is getting the sales it deserves for all responsible.

Looks like it's mostly the rest of the campaigns that came with the original AACW game, plus Gettysburg and Atlanta scenarios. I wondered why they didn't include those campaigns in CW2; now we know. It's OK, I'm in.

The Matrix writeup for Bloody Road mentions it will use update 1.03.

Not heard about 1.03. Any news on it available? What will be fixed? What will be added? When will it be released and last but not least...

Will we have to buy Bloody Road to get it?

I'm sure the patch will be available with or without the expansion. The expansion is really the extra campaigns and scenarios.

Only a guess but they usually post their patches, etc. on Fridays.

According to the Matrix Games front page it was released on the 5th. However there is still no option to purchase when you click on the link to the product page.

I am a little perplexed at that as well. I went looking last night and am now looking again.

Better a day late and a good pack, then on time and a bad pack.

It is out - downloading it now. About 1Gb in size, so it will take a while on my slow connection.

No, but The Bloody Road South requires it, hence why it is included the download.

Yes the patch will be available without the expansion. We are still working on integrating it in to the update system so don't worry it will come once we've completed the testing!

Pocus over at the AGEOD forums has just announced that Matrix are changing the way they release patches, and the 1.03 update encountered some technical issues as a result but will be out in a few days.

Yeah, no problem getting it in the expansion though. Pocus also said the patch in the addon is big, and the free one will be "slimmer". What does that mean? The free patch won't have as many fixes, features?

I think it means that Matrix are changing the way they deliver patches, and that the 1.03 stand alone patch will be considerably smaller in size that the 1Gb size of The Bloody Road. Obviously the stand alone patch is not going to have the content of the addon, but I have seen nothing to indicate that otherwise the update will not be the same.

I am happy the expansion pack was released. It makes the game playable for those of us with a life and/ or short attention spans

. Thanks a lot. Just what the doctor ordered.

I'm a little confused. I bought the expansion, but 1.03 is not with it? I ask this because the version stills says 1.02 as it is loading.

Mine had a screen pop up that said something about making sure I had patch 1.03 from Alea Jacta Est loaded(which I do have). But I clicked onward and everything seemed to load fine and shows v1.03.

I got expansion too. As I remember, Beginnng of install it let's you know you are at 1.02 and asks whether to install 1.03 before expansion. Then it installs 1.03 before installing expansion. Everything working fine running 1.03.

AGEOD are the good guys. Their games are supported forever with full feature patches at no cost. I wouldn't worry.

What is going on? This is not turning out to be a very good advert for AGEOD. Expansion released that contains loading errors and no automatic patch for the original game. Hmmm seems to me that business considerations have resulted in a rushed release. Not good at all.

No problems here installing. When prompted it installed the new patch included with the game.

Relax. It means you will not have the additional scenarios. You will get the same patch as everybody else. Expansion download is big because of the additional scenarios you receive in the Bloody Roads South. "Regular" game patch will not contain those. Simple as that.

Yes, that's the way it works.

When I installed Bloody Roads South it seemed to install fine, and the scenarios are there. HOWEVER, when loading to start at the bottom right the screen still says "1.02" version.
