My opponent bought the game on Steam, so it's automatically updated with new versions. But I bought the disc. There is no link here for buyers like me to be able to update their game to version 8. When we tried to playmy oponent I found out I needed version 8. I was able to get version 8 with my opponent's help and update my game. But I think you need to put the link up here for people like me.

I'd also like to see a list of the changes in version 8. I see a red eye on some units when I'm moving my units in the setup phase. What does that red eye mean?

v.1.1.8 is still in beta. The 'red eye' and other targeting icons are identified in the pic below. From Surtur's post on the Steam TBF forum -

quote:

Version 1.1.8 Change Log

• Fire order shot difficulty warning icons have been revised to be clearer and more visually distinct.
• The graphical line showing the selected unit's Fire order is now shown in the same manner as the LOS line you get when giving a fire order (clear/obscured/blocked.)
• Shot difficulty warning icons are now shown over the target when the selected unit has a Fire order.
• The cursor position no longer snaps to the center of the unit under the mouse if that unit is friendly, or if you are giving a movement, Smoke, Ambush, or Defend order.
• Unit Defend and Ambush arcs will only be activated by a mouse click if the mouse is not over a soldier, vehicle, or unit icon.
• US 60mm mortar ammunition basis increased to 30 rounds (from 24.)
• MODDING: Mod weapon sounds now play correctly.
• MODDING: Vehicle crew icon indexes moved to nations.txt.

Thanks for the explanation and the list of changes. So maybe I found a flaw that needs to be fixed. I'm seeing the red-eye during the setup phase of the game before the battle starts. Some units have a red-eye, some don't. Red-eye means no line of sight. But during the setup phase, there is no enemy visible, so you don't know where they are, right? Or is the game telling me some units have LOS to the enemy before I see them?

One good thing, the game only crashed once with version 8.
