While of course all the changes made are going to improve the game many of the ones above will probably require a "rethink" on how to play the game overall.

WELL DONE

Did not see the "C key" feature in the WW2 game but maybe i missed it? or it's not availble.

{edit} ok i see i did miss it now, sorry.

The ability to do a proper programmed barrage (rather than just plot 1 turn in pre-game) did not make it this year due to time taken by all the other things.

BUT it should be in there next year for CD users - and that is what the general and direct support arty is really aimed at. The GS and DS batteries will not have delay problems when firing on the planned barrage.

But right now - they can be used for nations with "unresponsive" artillery support doctrines if so required.

PS - in MBT - not WW2 yet as it had umpty-five individualised buy routines to code - the AI will already buy some GS and DS batteries when it is the attacker, thus getting some cheaper arty.

NB - It tends not to buy arty above the points that trigger an overload, thus proving to me that the (very) few who complained about "too much AI arty" were in error. I have only seen it give me "free VP" in about 1 in 100 AI buys. The AI pick code thus required no changing.

cheers

I like the changes. Can't wait to play it.
Decreasing the vision cost will make me start playing after 80's, the same as decreasing AT-guns cost last year made me start using them during WW2.

FYI

Some years we can get the patch ready and Shrapnel can have have it up and available to DL in a couple of days. This is not one of those years. I'm sorry to say that "for reasons beyond our control" the patches will not be active until sometime next week so if you were hoping to have it for this weekend, that's not going to happen. Be patient.

And Rome wasn't built in a day,either,my friend.

Patience is my middle name and to be perfectly frankly,I'm still enjoying the 6.0 upgrade from last year. I've yet to exhaust all the possibilities that patch offers. If need be that upgrade could last me the rest of my battle generating life(considering where Steel Panthers evolved from). BTW,thanks for making all the previous updates available in one easy to use application.

Anything more is really sauce for the goose IMHO.

Stercus accidit. Remember in war, the only certainty is uncertainty. We will wait.
