Thank You for your years-lasting effort and devotion. I hope you are at least well rewarded (although I can't imagine how big the reward should be, to compensate for nerves and health...)

Having installed the new patch and used the Z key it does work as it says however I think there's something else happening different to how it worked before the patch.

In the attachment the highlighted unit could recon fire using the Z key into the german hex after the patch it can't. Is this as intended or a bug. If it's as intended it will really make a huge difference to game play.

I think I can say that for everyone: We wholeheartedly wish you both and Tim Brooks that your beloved games will keep the players so well entertained for another 20 years to come. And a lot of health!

Thanks for this wonderful upgrade.

looking at the actual rally code - A0 will only rally his subordinates, i.e. anyone attached to his A company (which includes company commanders for B, C etc as well as random platoons not individually attached to B,C etc coy). He is just another company commander.

So any rally that I or others may have seen with A0 will have been company command elements, or unattached platoon commanders or subunits of such platoons.

No big deal really, just another reason to keep A0 in the proper place - somewhere on the back line and away from all combat.

I may include a new test to see if A0 is nearby to give units a wee boost to their rally chance though.

Will this stay the same as it has been for the next update?

How will this work exactly?

Well.. I was setting up a game to walk through the steps to explain how this would work when I discovered we have a problem with that code so the release for both games may be delayed

It has been removed from the code
