Grenadier -> Changes in Lost Victories (3/27/2002 2:41:17 AM)
|
Hi all,
First of all, on behalf of the entire team I want to thank all of you for your patience and understanding. It is our sincere hope that your patience has been rewarded with this definitive "Directors Cut of Lost Victories". The changes are myriad, but the single most inmportant is that the core force was revised, this solved al host of problems, such as the AO changing from Vebber to an unnamed leutnant after the 3rd or 4th battle and the entire list of non core force units becoming all lets or unnamed or with the same name and the issue of leaders with low and incorrect ratings like for infantry and armor ratings. This also solved the problem with the sound files playing inconsistently as it appearred to be a memory leak. Now all the sond files play consistently, so If you never heard the speech by Dr Goebbels or By Hitler in the game, or the Wochenshau OKW communiques, you will now.
All the scenarios in the MC, 260 total, were checked to make sure the OOB's and objectives were correct and that the core force worked properly in all of them.
Many of the sound files were redone to deal with the low volume issue and to add the musical prelude to the OKW communiques. The sound files are in a separate download for those of you who want them.
Many more documents were added and photos captions redone that were incorrect. The translations for all the German sound files are now part of the main breifing instead of a separate document in the documents section as are the lyrics for the German marching songs
The entire storyline of the MC was redone to be consistent with the "you are there" feel of the MC. The results descriptions are more personalized and there is more dialogue in the battle descriptions and the debreifings.
The battle descriptions also have more historical background added to compensate that the documents section could not contain all of it in close relation to the time line. There is a much more detailed history of the battles of Radziechow, Dubno, Uman , Kiev and the Crimea, most of this now being in the battle breifing.
There are a few new added features to make this more historical such as the remote detonated mines The Russians used in The Crimea and one of the most nefarious weapons of the war. You Will have to play it to find out
Because of all of these changes, I highly recommend you start Lost Victories from the beginning. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding. You are, without a doubt, the greatest buch of gamers in the entire wargaming community
