www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4068763 New Features and Rule Changes 1. Interface change - Changed the way map zoom works. It will zoom around a mouse cursor position, not around current hex. 2. Interface change - Made the HQ unit selected when going to HQ from right panel. 3. Interface change - Lower level air HQs (ex. Fliegerkorps) will be listed after their parent air Hqs (LF) in air transfer mode (F10). 4. Rule Change - Allow regimental size non-support units to attach 1 support unit. 5. Rule Change - Added an extra delay for overrun air groups. They are put back to the national reserve in 3 turns (was immediate). 6. Rule Change - Withdrawing units are now set to supply priority 4 and this is not adjustable by the player. This is the one case where a combat unit can have a supply priority different from its HQ. This is necessary to allow the unit to build up to the 75% strength required for withdrawal. 7. Rule Change - Air Superiority AD’s now always execute before Naval Patrol flights. 8. Changes to Naval Interdiction missions: a. Reduced efficiency of non-naval air groups for NI b. Reduced efficiency of GP bombs for NI c. Increased efficiency of mines/torpedoes/ASW weapons for NI d. Improved automatic naval load out selection e. Made it easier to reach lower NI and harder higher NI values 9. Changes to air game: a. Increased high altitude fatigue gain. b. Reduced flight altitude evade on very high altitudes. c. Adjusted air flight altitude impact on air combat. d. Adjusted flak code. 10. Fixes and improvements for the air navigation panel. (Mouse clicking should be faster in F10 mode. 11. Rule clarification - Units in the East Front box require less vehicles to carry supplies/fuel/ammo. Rebuilding units in the editor with a delay of 2000 (units starting in the EF box) will reflect this and will have a lower vehicle need. 12. Editor – Now allows the TOE OB upgrade to be set to 0. 13. Editor – Added a few elements of data to several of the CSV files. 14. Editor - Added ability to rebuild air bases based on aircraft located at the base. Il resto lo metto in spoiler per non allungare troppo il post: Anticipazione (Spoiler): Altri cambiamenti Bug Fixes 1. Overrun air groups which fail to evacuate go to the national reserve with wrong pilot number setting, which is causing all planes to stay in reserve. Fixed. 2. Unit with insupply value of >=100 is not routing and surrendering instead. Fixed. 3. Fixed leader assignment bug where Germans saw Allied leaders in their list of leaders when replacing one of their leaders. 4. Fixed unit box display function. 5. Fixed factory filter bug. 6. Fixed inactive nationality names in editor. 7. Fixed unit box display function that could cause corrupted data. 8. Fixed unit selection bug in unit bar. 9. Fixed bug involving AD management features with r-click conflict with return path setting. 10. In some cases a units would not receive replacements in certain ground elements due to conflicts between the normal ground element upgrade function and the ground element swap out function (used when stockpiles are low and another element has high stockpiles of equipment). Case reported involved Canadian units not getting rifle squad or armored car replacements when they should have. Fixed. 11. Unit box items are not drawn in air directive setup mode. Fixed. 12. Fireback ground elements don't appear correctly on detailed combat screen. Fixed. 13. Fixed counter text overlap bug. 14. AFVs with build limit of 0 can get "produced" automatically out of ARM. Fixed. 15. Made a fix for the rail display in n-mode. 16. Editor CR screen - Resupplying airbases in Editor via Commanders Report "Editor functions" changes them to motorized status. Same happens to FBD units. Fixed. (Resupply function won't alter motorization status) 17. Flights can be intercepted by planes with insufficient max altitude. Fixed. 18. Bombing from extremely high altitude can get unexpected accuracy boost. Fixed. 19. Air group fatigue is not recalculated after air execution (display issue). Fixed. 20. The value being shown for “vehicles from pool” in the unit supply detail screen was being divided by 2000. Fixed. Data and Scenario Changes 1. General changes: Fixed damaged railyards spammed by existing depots, some invalid WA rail hexes in Bulgaria/Yugoslavia, neutral rail hexes in Soviet area, some ownership/control issues in soviet area, some locations with zero population and zero manpower fac (both set to 1), a polish location with pops but no manpower fac, addition of 3 railyards to Bratislava, Riga and Lvov. Also fixed Switzerland hexes in some scenarios to become Neutral again. 2. Many continuing general improvements, especially to production and to ground units, for the 45 Campaign, Westwall, Bulge to the Rhine, Op Dragoon and Breaching the Gothic Line scenarios. 3.
