Hello everyone,
We have just made the latest version of Warplan available. Version 1.00.08 of Warplan is one of the biggest updates yet, bringing new content, fixes and changes for you to enjoy. Game rules were updated to make minor neutral powers align better with the relevant blocks when attacked, AI routines have been improved and various balance changes have been made to allow for more interesting play.
Most important however is the addition of the new North Africa Scenario. In this scenario you can take control of either the British or Axis forces during the Axis push for Egypt. This is a smaller scenario, offering a great way to get some practice and providing its own operational challenges to solve. We would love for you to try it and let us know what you think.
The full changelog can be found below.
Users of the Matrix version can download the game using the ‘Check for Updates’ button on the launcher, or by downloading the latest patch from the Matrix Games Members area. For Steam users the game will be updated automatically.

Warplan Gets a Hefty Update! - 1.00.08 Now Available - 
The extra OP just isn't worth it as I discovered that too many ops points leads to a huge loss of effectiveness and I'd rather have the extra tanks and defense especially late in the game.
