Changelog
Update 1.07 5th October 2015
Added:
– Campaign variant of Archangelsk-Astrachan « The Eastern Front » done by Zigmunds Steins
– formations can be changed before deployment and chosen when units are recruited
– formation size now limits number of support units:
*Batallion 2x
*Regiment 3x
*Brigade 4x
*Division 5x
– formation influences refit costs (batallion as bases) : +10% for regiment, +15% for brigade and +20% for division
– variations for mountain and hill textures & meshes
– minefields can be layed or removed by combat engineers
– minefields have strength and can damage units that move onto them. Every hit reduces the strength of the minefield
– shortcut key « L » to get to the statistics screen
– shortcut key « I » to reach the list of shortcuts
– new shot effect for rocket launchers
– varying effects for different attack distances
– new marker system to differ mines, ground and air units
– landscape may influence readiness of units with these consequences:
* mountain hex:
units loose readiness by moving on it
units can not be supplied any more and loose readiness each turn they stay on it
* swamp hex:
units loose readiness by moving on it
units loose readiness each turn they stay on it
* steppe hex:
units loose readiness each turn they stay on it
– movement penalties for tanks and SP guns:
* hills +3
* swamp +2
* snow (terrain not weather) varies depending on type and time of the war:
#Soviet medium and heavy tanks +1
#Ostketten models (Tiger, Panther etc.) +1
