JosephStephenson -> New! v01.01.15 Public Beta Available (10/15/2021 4:25:49 PM)
|
Hi Everyone!
We have a new installer version for the Public Beta, which you can find on the Store page or 'My Page' if you're logged in and have the game registered.
v01.01.15 Changelog
New Features and Rule Changes
For a unit on the map to disband or be sent to a theater box, it must now be more than 8 hexes from enemy units. To be able to send a unit to a TB, it must also be on a connected rail hex. Other limitations/restrictions re disbanding and transferring to a theater box remain unchanged.
Multiple changes to Assault HQ rules:
o The command point multipliers for HQs in Assault HQs are now:
Date Axis Army Axis Corps // Soviet Front Soviet Army&Corps
1941 1.34 1.17 // no bonus no bonus
1942 1.34 1.17 // 1.10 1.10
1943 1.34 1.17 // 1.34 1.25
1944 1.34 1.17 // 1.67 1.34
1945 1.34 1.17 // 1.67 1.34
o Limits on maximum number of Assault HQs are now:
Date Axis Soviet
1941 4 2
1942 3 2
1943 3 3
1944 2 4
1945 2 4
Changes made to ground combat. Increased the range at which the opening direct fire shots are fired, while increasing the amount of fire at these longer ranges. Increased the number of rounds of combat between opening range and 50 yard combat. Opening ranges will be longer for clear and less dense terrain. Net effect of combat changes increases overall losses slightly.
When captured, airbases will have their ground element experience seeded at the level of the owning sides air national morale.
Now when a corps is created using 2 or 3 guards units, if an appropriate guards OB is not available, the newly formed corps will not be a guards unit. A data change in this version delays the first available Guards Tank Corps to December 1942, and the first available Guards Mechanized Corps to November 1942. So merging guards brigades before these dates will not result in a guards corps.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
Escorts not flying in ground support (usually when enemy has ground support turned off). Fixed.
Cavalry units are being allowed to temporarily motorize. Fixed.
Movement FOW turned on is preventing movement over a ferry hex into an enemy controlled hex with no enemy units. Fixed.
Some units have their transfer flag set during a scripted withdrawal, and it is never turned off. This causes them to show incorrectly in the CR screen as still being in transfer. Fixed.
Very weak units being displaced while isolated could shatter or rout out of a pocket instead of surrendering. Fixed.
AFVs could sometimes return fire at a range greater than their weapons range. Fixed.
Units lose lots of ammo and in some cases their ammo on hand goes negative. Fixed.
Rollover text over Command Efficiency button is wrong. Fixed.
Stacks with X for CV value have attacker CV value showing instead of MPs. Fixed.
When creating new Soviet units in the reserve, they could get a name already used by an active unit. Fixed.
AI controlled city forts are participating in attacks. Fixed.
Soviet AI puts NKPS units in Rostov city fort. Fixed.
Axis Ai attaches 2 German infantry regiments to Soviet 6th Army. Fixed.
Axis AI changes human Batumi to export port. Fixed.
