PANZER BATTLES 4.01 UPDATES RELEASED!

Hello all,

We are pleased to release the 4.01 Updates for Panzer Battles today.

All three released titles as well as the Panzer Battles Demo now have 4.01 patches available. New purchases will be full 4.01 builds. The full builds will also be available on your store account page. It may be easier to download the new version and uninstall the existing and replace with the 4.01 build. We recommend that as the best approach for the Demo. Either download the patch or full build, rather than placing another order and receiving another key.

The 4.01 update includes the following for all titles:

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where assaults could be initiated with insufficient movement points.
Fog of war reveals between turns have been corrected.
Suppressed an error message when playing a PBEM campaign in cp_start.

Enhancements

Implemented new Dynamic Toolbars for the Main Program.
Implemented Settings > Action Speed.
Removed A/I > Fast A/I Processing. Replaced by Action Speed.
Implemented View > Roaming Mode.
Implemented Units > Arrived > Place All. This mirrors the setting in Panzer Campaigns where all arrived units can be placed en masse.

Content Changes

Updated Scenario briefings.

There have been other minor content changes across various titles, but many of the user interface updates as well as the new Action Speed that was introduced with Panzer Campaigns has been included.

The Place All function is particularly useful in a title like Normandy, while roaming mode simplifies larger scenarios.

Here are some screen shots from each title of the new tool bars, closely emulating Panzer Campaigns. (all screen shots can be clicked for full size)

The last image here is from Battles of North Africa 1941. Rick Bancroft designed all the scenarios for the largest battle included in that title, Operation Crusader. Rick has continued to create more content and shares more below.

You can grab all the updates here, or get new full installers from your Store Account page.
