-Airstrike dialogue no longer occurs in H2H mode. The whoosh and FX appear without counters.
-Tunguskas cause game-crashing range check errors when firing their SAMs at helicopters

Status: offline 		I have been playing the new patch for a while. Love it! The new maps are beautiful and cleaner, a very nice improvement. The game for me is running very smooth..no bugs yet...will try larger scenarios. Just been playing the tutorial. One thing is for sure...as a WP player mainly, I will have to re-learn how to play this game. Holy Jesus...I dont even reach a contested battle at the tutorial anymore. Soviets seems more blind than ever and for every blue line, 4 to 5 of my precious T-80s are wiped out, that freaking tornado took 7!...my goodness. Will have to re-think all my tactics...I have just finished another decisive loss..where, where, where is my vodka? (hands shaking)...

Status: offline 		Indeed, it seems that "getting in close" isn't even the grace anymore. Have to be more defensive now and take artillery abuse to the next level. Although the tutorial scenario is not supposed to be balanced. Try a larger scenario such as... perhaps Dawn's First Light.

Test of Wills was hard even in the older versions, I think I will try and tackle that scenario next time I do an AAR.

Status: offline 		Thanks for your input Stimpak...will try to be more defensive and rely more on artillery... NATO is now superior in every aspect. You are right, getting close does not equalize things anymore. Reality or not, still lots of fun. It has never been easy to be a bad guy anyway . Oh but NATO will pay, they will...they can throw me all that sparkling technology stuff, I will find a way to hurt them! Bear fears no one! Cheers!

Thanks, Rob

From memory:
Tunguska pair in open plain engaged a pair of AH-1F (Version with I-TOWs) over a mixed hex at far range, causing the game to crash.

Otherwise the patch seems good. Very stable and no bugs found here.

If fprs is running on the second screen (not full screen) a yellow label "You must stay within the setup bounderies." popups then selecting a counter on the game screen (running the setup phase).

This tutorial was made with 2.06 and its start with a command cycle of 16|17|19 but the beta command cycle is now 13|13|13|14.

This make the described actions different.

Are there plans for updating the tutorial? And perhaps update the pictures also?

It was a real turkey shoot.

I'm sending you a saved game (black Horse, renamed in gif..) where an artillery firing in an empy hex switch to an adjacent one probably following a hidden moving unit....

Hope this help.

Thanks
Paolo

Status: offline 		Mystery solved. The game does in fact turn the numlock on. That way you can use the number pad to move the map in various directions. You can turn it off and all appears to work fine. You just can move the map with the number pad. Learn something new everyday.

One question left:
Is it a bug act as a feature or a feature act as a bug.
