As always, the hard work is evidenced just in this description. I particularly like the changes in radio allotment.

Sweet!! PBEM campaigns seem pretty interesting, thanks again guys!!

Great, sooner than expected.
One question, if I patch the game and I have a single player generated campaign in progress, will I have problems? Will I have to restart the campaign, or anything like that?

Also, what about single PBEM battles, can the games be updated while in progress or we will have to end the battle and then update the game?

As with all PBEM games, finish off your in progress games before upgrading, since any changed OOBS in the patch will cause a security violation.

Ongoing Campaigns are not usually a problem, unless you are using a custom OOB you edited yourself, and that gets replaced by the new stock OOB.

Solution to both could be to use the OOB swapper utility - create a new sub-folder with the old OOB set in there before installing the patch, and swap in that set as required before starting those games, and then swap in the new defaults from the default folder when finished.

Cheers

Please allow to check up Russian OOB, for removal of possible spelling errors.

Secret it is guaranteed.
For example it can make KraMax or I.

There is NO chance EVER of me forwarding an OOB to a third party for any reason just before a patch release.

NONE.

I'm more than just a little amazed anyone would even think I would.

You've had an ENTIRE year since the last patch to mention any "spelling errors" in that OOB and if you did and I noted it on my list they were corrected. If not then maybe we'll get it next time but be aware that in translating the Cyrillic alphabet into English there can be more than one "acceptable" spelling and I'm confident that any "error" in spelling that may be in that OOB is minor.

Attempt not torture (Russian proverb).

Long-awaited patch, again novelties which will change rules of fight in Steel Panthers!
