Fixes


• AI units sometimes attacking too many times.
  
• AI moving tanks into terrain which is likely to get them stuck.
  

Added features



• You can now change your game options from the lobby screen using the new "Options" button.
  
• There is a new button in the CAPs area that allows you to set CAP spending on your initiative roll made at the start of your next turn.
  
• Added preference for smaller unit information bar.
  
• Added basic support for campaigns.
  Players can now advance all surviving units between multiple firefights. Surviving units have a chance to gain experience; this chance is 50% for green units, and 10% less for every higher level of experience, so that veteran units have only a 10% chance of becoming elite. Surviving units are available in the new firefight as reinforcements that enter on the first turn in the standard point buy setup area ("GermanSetup" or "RussianSetup")
  
  Note that we don't yet have any firefights that use these parameters.
  
  In the scenario XML file use these tags:
  
  
  • GetPiecesFromCampaignName - name of scenario from which to import pieces (from the XML name tag, not the file name)
    
  • CampaignGainExperienceFactor - multiplies the chance that units moving to a new firefight will gain experience (e.g., setting this to 2 will make green units have a 100% chance to gain experience, veteran units a 20% chance to become elite)

This is TMOADL (The Mother Of All Downloads). Got it on the second try. But I am confused. Does this update contain the improved counter graphics? Will there likely be any changes to this patch when it is made official & not public beta? Doesn't seem like there will be a gazillion people testing it but I may be wrong.

One little think could be better: The scenario setting.
1) The rules option should be seen by both players in the "start scenario" screen (you must ask and trust your opponent).
2) At the moment you must know the scenario for mp (no big deal, you can play one time sp) to know which units will come in which turn and where. There is no complete scenario description like in the boardgame scenario book.
3) Unit placement: I am not able to see the stats and the los of the units. More important with random qualities (place the units to see the stats and make undo).

But this are all no big problems. I can live with that (my solutions are in the brackets).

Thanks!

Only question: Why is this update named 1.12 ... after 1.5? [8|]

Reinforcement areas aren't shown here, but these can be displayed by clicking on the reinforcement symbols at the bottoms of the clock graphics near the top of the screen.
