Hi Everyone,
We have the v1.01.07 installer ready to be downloaded.
The update is available via the Store page https://www.matrixgames.com/game/gary-grigsbys-war-in-the-east-2 or your 'My Page' area (if you are logged in and have the game registered)
Happy War-Gaming!
Comprehensive Change List:
v01.01.07 17th August 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
Changed rules for isolated support/multi-role units inside HQs when the HQ displaces (either through relocate order or forced displacement). Now those units will be destroyed when the HQ displaces. As with surrenders, some small amount of men and equipment can escape to the pool.
Reduced the number of fighters that are assigned by default to air transport missions.
Reduced by 50% the chance of pilots being killed when an operational loss is recorded.
Added Living Manual v1.05.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through game version 1.01.07.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
Cant access MP games using 1.01.03 version. Fixed.
Multi-role units can't convert back to be on map units (no 'Convert' showing in their unit detail screen). Fixed.
CR screen - Location/Storage tab SU column always shows 0. Fixed.
Export ports not receiving freight. Fixed.
Units are sometimes surrendering when they should be routing instead. Fixed. Note: You may have to go through a logistics phase for the bug to be fixed in existing games as a units data may already be corrupted in a way that would force it to surrender instead of routing.
Partisans are operating less effectively than they should in non-campaign scenarios, especially in low partisan areas. Fixed.
Corrected spelling of High (Hight) Water Mark in Multiplayer screen.
AI assist naval ops setting bad stage base and not including nav patrol aircraft from Romanian Air Command. Improved.
AI Improved Axis AI line forming just north of the Sea of Azov in 1943.
AI Improved Axis pull back in Baltic States.
v01.01.03 9th August 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
Added in-game scaling for all right side panels (factory navigation, turn summary, Air Directive creation, right unit bar) and for supply details window. At this point, all parts of the game except for the top bar area are impacted by the display scaling percentage preference item. Note that you will see issues with these right side changes in the editor if you are running at over 100% (best to use the editor at 100%).
The supply priority of naval units are automatically set to 4 at the start of every logistics phase.
Reduced the effect the range of the mission has on op losses for naval patrol missions. Should significantly reduce the op losses of naval patrol missions.
Made automatic rail repair a higher priority during the logistics phase, making it more likely that automatic rail repair units will be able to secure the needed supplies/freight to do their work.
Improved system for airfield construction so it is more likely that construction will occur if there are available construction units. There is still a supply/freight requirement so it is not guaranteed in low supply areas.
To be eligible to escort an air transport mission, the fighter unit must now either be within range of the target hex, or if not, be within range of the stage base while the stage base is in range of the target hex.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
Multiplayer If disconnected from the internet when attempting to upload a save, game could become unstable and crash. Fixed.
Bug 9103 - Naval Support Group always appears isolated - never gets resupplied . Fixed.
Bug 9150 With TB control on, you cannot clear the withdrawal data on the bottom left of the air unit detail screen, with it off, you can clear the data. Fixed.
AI Bugs 9152 and 9167 German AI, especially in late 1942 and in 1943, launches many bad hasty attacks. Fixed.
AI bug 9170 The pure AI (not AI assist) was corrupting the ground attack intensity air doctrine for some Luftflottes and Air Armies. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
Stalingrad to Berlin Changes:
o Corrected Soviet AI first turn script
o XXIII German Corps does not Disband on Turn 117. It does not Disband at all.

v01.01.02 23rd July 2021
IMPORTANT NOTE: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.01.02 may not load these newer save game or scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
New Features and Rule Changes
Added Display Scaling Percentage preference item. This allows players some control over scaling their display in-game. Note that when this version is first used, the system will automatically reset all preferences to default and attempt to set a scaling percentage that is best given your windows display settings. Players can change the scaling percentage by hovering over the value in the preference screen and selecting from the dropdown list. The game will only allow the player to select scaling percentages that fit their current display. When you change the scaling percentage, it is necessary to exit the program and restart in order for the new setting to take effect. At this time, items that appear on the right and top bars are not scaled, but the map and all other windows are impacted by the scaling percentage preference.
Editor - Unit/Air group transfer TB flags will be automatically cleared when a scenario is loaded into the Editor. These transfer flags display in-game dynamic state and should be clear at the start of any scenario. Loading and saving off a scenario in the editor will now clear this info.
Added Living Manual v1.03.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through game version 1.01.00.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
Units that detach from city forts disappear (placed in 0,0). Fixed.
Dismissing leader via leader pic on right bar doesn't dismiss leader but does cost some APs. Fixed.
Minus Fuel on hand at AB after Air Freight Transport. Fixed. (system will use city fuel or convert freight at stage base into fuel from the pool).
In rare situations, resources/supplies/fuel/oil stored in a city could go negative. Fixed in 1.01.00 but unreported in the whatsnew.
CTD when trying to create AD for PVO Air Command in RGOW. Fixed. (Also data change with RGOW scenario).
CTD from clicking on manpower on left of production screen. Fixed.
Selecting "Mission" text on air unit detail activates disband unit window instead of fighter/bomber switch. Fixed.

Can assign combat units and additional support units to FBD/NKPS units (should not be possible). Fixed.
Event open when Event window opens doesnt immediately reduce unread count. Fixed.
Axis Allied manpower production is using German production usage percentage instead of using Axis Allied production usage. Fixed.
Production screen built number for German manpower showed a negative value at the start of some small scenarios. Fixed.
AI - During AI turn, a human player AOG changes the higher level AOG it is assigned to. Fixed.
AI - CTD at 38% of Soviet AI in 1943. Fixed.
AI - Strange Ai attack with only support units and no defender listed. Fixed.

New Features and Rule Changes
Far into work on adding an in-game scaling preference option. Since the work is not complete, we have not yet made the preference option visible. Once completed in a future update, the program default will be changed to use application scaling, and players will be able to adjust the scaling using this preference item. As part of this, engine improvements have been made to more fully support ClearType fonts and to improve the placement of certain unit/map elements for better scaling, performance and clarity. Several windows have been redone/improved, as part of getting them to scale. Improvements include: added sorting of additional columns in some windows, information on assignments to HQs now also showing in the HQ detail Elements tab, changed selection of multiple battle reports in the same hex to a drop down list (hover on top left corner of battle report).
Added a new scenario that is a modified version of the 1941 Campaign (1941 Campaign No Early End). The only difference between this and the 1941 campaign is that the no early end version does not make checks for Sudden Victory or Sudden Loss. There is still the check at the end of 1944 re the Soviet HWM needing to match the Axis HWM (or Allied control of parts of Germany). This scenario will always contain the latest 1941 campaign changes unless otherwise noted in the scenario update notes (the plan is to keep them totally in sync).
Rule Errata
o HQs and attached support units in isolated city forts that are forced to retreat are destroyed. Units will be rebuilt per the normal rules, except in this case HQs will also be rebuilt.
o When Follow Path is set to no for an Air Directive, each mission created by the AD will automatically set a stage base for the mission when it launches and the aircraft will fly directly to the stage base and then directly to the target. The stage base created is heavily weighted toward the bombers in the mission (so not as useful if you have short range escorts you want to fly in the missions). In this case the player selected stage base is ignored.
o When tracing distance for freight movement from a depot to a unit, the number of MPs will never be more than 4x the number of hexes.
o The Command Range Modifier is slightly different than as explained in the manual. When determining the modifier, instead of subtracting 5 from the range before determining the modifier, you subtract the following:
Corps HQ 5
Army 10
Army Group/Front 15
High command - 20
o Manpower multipliers for Finland, Italy, and Slovakia are different from that listed in the manual. They are:
1941,42,43,44,45
Finland 10,3,3,3,3
Italy 3,3,3,3,3
Slovakia 1,1,1,1,1
Rule Clarification for Leader Dismissal Costs:
The cost of dismissing a leader is increased by the political rating of the leader being dismissed. If the leader is an Axis Allied leader, the cost is double the political rating of the leader.
The cost of dismissing a leader is reduced by the political rating of the leader of the Higher HQ for the leader being dismissed (i.e. OKH political rating is subtracted from the cost of dismissing the leader for Army Group North).
The base cost before items a and b, are as follows All High Command 30, Axis Army Group 30, Axis Army 20, Axis Corps 10, Soviet Front 15, Soviet Army 10, Soviet Corps 5.
There is a minimum cost of 2.
Rule change for temporarily motorized units:
o Soviet units may not be temporarily motorized in 1941.
o Corps and division sized units have a minimum AP cost of 3 to temp motorize.
o Temporarily motorized units have to pass an extra admin check when determining their MPs (failure reduces their MPs).
o Soviet motorized units that are brigade size or smaller have a max MP of 35, and this applies to temporarily motorized units.
Romanian Surrender - Romanian Surrender event no longer triggered by the loss of Constanta, Sulina, Cogealac, or Medgidia. Since this is a data change, it is only in games started with this or a later version of the game.
Adjusted formula to spread out assignment of ground support over more air units where possible instead of overusing the same units. However, it is still heavily biased towards using air units flying shorter distances.
Reduced the combat effectiveness of Light Mortar ground type weapons. Increased the combat effectiveness of Mortar ground type weapons.
Added the ability to cancel an AOGs withdrawal orders on the AOG detail window. Linked any cancellation of withdrawal orders for an Air Command HQ to the withdrawal orders for its associated army level AOG. A cancellation of either, will cancel both.
Moved Assault Squad category higher on the left side of production screen.
Changes to logistics:
o Reduced effectiveness of super depots at reducing rail congestion penalties in 1941-1943, with less effectiveness reduction in 1943 than in 1941/42. Net effect is deliveries to super depots earlier in the war will be lower.
o Reduced effectiveness of single rail lines when using super depots. Net effect is potential for less shipments to super depots via single rail lines than in the past.
o Changed the algorithm that selects an NSS as a freight source to make it less likely to pick an NSS that is already heavily utilized.
o Note: Priority 0 depots have never been more or less likely to be picked as a freight source for a shipment just because it is priority 0. Priority 0 depots simply never receive a freight shipment. If you want to ensure getting rid of the freight at a priority 0 depot, you need to disband the depot.
Significantly increased the incremental (fractional) experience gain each time a pilot returns from a mission. This will reduce the number of missions flown needed to gain a full experience point.
Rule change Units in refit and more than 10 hexes from the nearest enemy unit may now gain morale points even if their morale is over 50 (still must be under NM). The morale gain is now 1-2 points, not 0-2.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
Assigning Construction Units to HQ on a city hex sometimes costs 1 AP (should be free). Fixed.
Units in City Forts were not able to receive ammo from a depot in their hex during defensive combat. Fixed.
Unit in City fort that renames appears in two places. Fixed.
Losses reported for units not in the battle when Leningrad is captured. Fixed.

o Soviet units in the Caucasus become isolated when Axis units cut the Caucasus off from the rest of the Soviet Union. The port connections should be enough to prevent isolation. Fixed.
Upon scenario load/start, factories in cities that have capture dates earlier than the start date of the scenario, are all being set to 100% damage. They should be calculating damage based on time since capture (there is some randomness to this, so values change each time a scenario is started). Fixed.
CTD when pressing F9 with summary up in ground phase. Fixed.
Can't move units to Kherson by sea. Fixed.
Axis Allied flak are supposed to be limited to only their cities. Fixed.
Some gun/artillery elements firing too close. Fixed.

MPs to depot in supply detail screen were sometimes incorrect. Fixed.
Fixed several minor bugs in air group transfer interface.
Possible MP exploit. Fixed.
AD creation screen lists max ADs as 10 (should be 32. Fixed.
When creating an airbase in a non-location hex, hex number is wrong in pop-up. Fixed.
Changing mode with AD creation visible replaces 1st AD instead of selected AD. Fixed.
Removed set individual AB supply priority via right click (since AB supply priority is automatically set, there was no reason to have this as it had no effect).
Editor Removed AI Line Forming x, y and Formation role from the displays as these are not intended to be editable values.
Editor - Can't edit aircraft weapon set Last Date. Fixed.
AI - Ai moves amphibious HQ into city fort. Fixed.
AI - Amphib moves into swamp hex (from city fort hex). Fixed.
AI Soviet AI units warp into Axis hexes inside the Stalingrad pocket. Fixed.
AI Soviet AI support units in Theater boxes could be incorrectly attached to on map units (where they could be destroyed) while still showing in the TB. Fixed.
AI - In Road to Leningrad some Soviet AI airbases ended up under OKL. Fixed.
AI The enemy AI moves human player air units to an AI airbase. Fixed.
AI - Improved Axis defensive AI enemy threat calculations.
