■ Release Notes ■
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTES:
Now, the new 1.033 & 1.040 updates have blacklisted the Scene ISO release
SERIAL NUMBER, which means only people that have a newly VALID Serial Number
are able to install the update.
* PS: good thinking Matrix Games.
This Patch does a Serial Number check before it will install the Update.
Our release is needed for both ISO and RIP users.
-END NOTES
Update Info:
------------
V1.040 - June 2nd, 2005
(Third Update Changes and Additions)
Please Note: Old save files (v1.005, v1.016 and v1.033) should be able to be
loaded with the updated version. However, if playing PBEM, once one player has
loaded the game using the patch, all the next players to follow must also play
the game using the patch. Not all fixes will work in games that continue from
old saves.
1. Data Correction - Movement between Lanchow and Mongolia now correctly costs
one movement point in any games started with this version (was incorrectly
costing 2MP in prior versions).
2. Rule Change - When using Advanced Supply rules, supplies expended when a
World Power attacks a neutral country are now taken first from the areas
nearest to the attack. Also, if the attack on the neutral is not allowed due
to lack of supplies, and the move into the area cannot be undone due to FOW
and the spotting of an enemy unit, then the attacking units will be
retreated as if they had attacked and did not conquer the area.
3. Addition - The game will use considerably less CPU cycles whenever possible.
4. Bug Fix - Fixed at least two bugs that were causing damaged units to be
destroyed instead of being placed on the production track at a factory for
which they had a legitimate path.
5. Bug Fix - Fixed a bug that was causing fleets to retreat into a frozen area
when they had alternative areas (within the same retreat priority level) to
retreat to. Fleets may still retreat to a frozen area if there is no
non-frozen area at the same retreat priority level.
6. Bug Fix - When playing with the No Supply Required game option, attacks
against neutrals by World Powers that normally require supplies are now
allowed to attack neutrals.
7. Bug Fix - Air units based in Sicily will now correctly Op-fire at passing
units. Also, Sicily will now generate one Interdiction Point per the normal
rules (instead of 0 or 2).
8. Bug Fix - Fixed several problems that kept the attack selection pop-up from
always activating immediately when move mode is exited. Also, if for any
reason the attack selection pop-up does not appear when it should, the
player can always move the mouse over the area and right click to make it
appear.
9. Bug Fix - Units that have not fired in a combat no longer have their
interdiction points reset to zero just because they were in an area where
combat took place. They must actually fire at an enemy unit in the combat to
have their IPs set to zero.
10. Rules Clarification - The Auto Supply game option does not move supply
automatically for defensive combat requirements. You need to ensure you
have supply in or adjacent to the zone that have units you want supplied if
they get attacked.
11. Rules Clarification - Naval Retreats
A) In section 8.6.2 item 3 should be replaced with the following "The unit
moves to any adjacent sea region unoccupied by enemy or allied units
(go to the area with the most friendly combat units)"
B) In section 8.6.2 it should state that naval units will never retreat
through a narrows that is controlled by an enemy land region. Also,
fleets are never allowed to retreat further than their maximum Speed
rating.
C) In section 8.6.2 items 4, 5, and 6 should state that the units will
retreat to the port containing the factory they are tracing to if there
is one.
D) In section 8.6.2 item 7 should be replaced with the following: "The unit
will retreat to the nearest sea area empty of enemy or allied units."
E) Fleets retreating from a port that is captured will follow the standard
retreat rules listed in section 8.6.2.
F) Sometimes a fleet will automatically retreat from a port to an adjacent
sea area when enemy units are moving into the area containing the port.
This pre-combat retreat will occur only if there is an adjacent sea area
free of enemy and allied units to retreat to.
12. Rules Clarification - Attacking Infrastructure - Air units often select
infrastructure that is already at level 2 damage for additional bombing.
This is intended in order to make it more difficult to destroy all of the
infrastructure in an area through bombing alone.
V1.033 - May 17th, 2005
(Second Update Changes and Additions)
Please Note: Old save files (v1.005 and v1.016) should be able to be loaded
with the updated version. However, if playing PBEM, once one player has loaded
the game using the patch, all the next players to follow must also play the
game using the patch. Not all fixes will work in games that continue from old
saves.
1. Rule Change - The evasion modifier for being previously fired upon during
the current turn does not apply during Opportunity Fire.
2. Rule Change - In the last part of section 8.5.7 in the section dealing with
adjusting the net die roll modifier, the 2nd item dealing with units with a
defense value of 12 only impacts the Attack Help Level modifier (caps it at
+ or - 1). It will not cap other modifiers.
3. Rule Change - The fort value of Western Germany is now cancelled if the
player defending in Western Germany does not also control Eastern Germany.
4. Rule Change - Italy will now only surrender whenever Germany does not
control at least 2 of the following 4 regions: Northern Italy, Southern
Italy, Sicily, Tripoli.
5. Rule Change - Germany is now charged 5 supply points whenever it attacks a
neutral country.
6. Rule Change - The Liberation rule in section 11.5.3 has been modified. Now,
when a World Power successfully attacks another friendly World Powers
region, the player will be asked "Occupy Area Yes/No". If they answer no,
then the effects listed in 11.5.3 will take place. If they answer yes, then
they attacking player will take control of the area as they would any other
region and their units will remain in the area. The area and its
infrastructure will now function as if they belong to the occupying World
Power. Any population and factories in these occupied areas may be used by
the occupying World Power using the factories normal factory multiplier.
Example: Germany has taken Leningrad. The Western Allies successfully attack
it and answer Yes to the Occupy Area question. They now control Leningrad
and if they repair the factory there it will provide the standard Soviet
multiplier (x2 or x3, not x1) under a Production for Soviet Union section in
the Western Allies production screen (using population in Western Allied
controlled Russian nationality areas).
7. Rule Change - Units that have already fired at an enemy unit during their
turn may not enter an enemy controlled land region, even if there are no
enemy units in the area.
8. Rule Change - Units that are damaged or destroyed do proceed to the next
combat phase, but fire with the combat modifier disadvantages listed in the
manual. The exception to this is air units. Air units that are hit either
in the Air vs. Air phase or the Land vs. Air phase will not proceed once hit.
9. Addition - Added a new Game Option titled Fuel Cost. If this option is
activated, all ground units are fueled and expend one 1 extra supply when
they move over a 2MP land border.
10. Addition - There is a new Preference Item called Language that lists the
players Language setting. Currently it only allows English, but eventually
we will have other choices which the player will choose from at the start of
their first game and they will be able to alter this choice in the
Preference screen.
11. Addition - The game uses far less CPU power when minimized (in windowed
mode and full screen mode via Alt-Tab).
12. Addition - The four arrow keys will now scroll the map.
13. Addition - Added a button in the Production screen that when clicked will
use all remaining production points to build supply. This button is just to
the left of the normal build buttons.
14. Addition - Added a way to spend maximum on the research screen pop-up
(shift key when clicking on plus should spend max). Shift-click on minus
button removes all research for this turn.
15. Addition - The text pop up over the Isolated Resource Centers number on the
Production Summary screen now shows what regions are isolated. Also changed
the pop up text for the isolated numbers on this screen to: Isolated
resource centers and Isolated resources.
16. Interface Change- The "Exit the game and go to the Main menu?" text is now
red to minimize confusion with the "Exit this phase?" text.
17. Interface Change - Removed "unit is already here" text in move mode.
18. AI Improvements - Many changes were made to improve the AI play involving
both movement/combat strategy and production/research strategy.
19. Data Change - Allied Bomber Evasion was changed to 5 and Durability changed
to 3 in the Campaign I Scenario; all other scenarios were adjusted
accordingly.
20. Data Change - Japanese Heavy Bomber Evasion was changed to 5 in all
scenarios.
21. Data Change - Heavy Fleet Aircraft Attack was changed to 3 in the Campaign
I Scenario; all other scenarios were adjusted accordingly.
22. Data Change - Two World Standards were changed. Armor Evasion and Tactical
Bomber Land Attack World Standards were both changed to 7.
23. OOB Change - Several Soviet units have been repositioned in the Campaign I
and II scenarios. The repositioning involved units in Moscow and 3 Eastern
(Siberian) areas.
24. OOB Change - Germany has been given 15 additional supply points in Campaign
I to help offset the new supply cost for attacking neutral countries.
25. Bug Fix - Several bugs in the combat analyzer have been fixed. It now
yields a more accurate estimate of losses for each side. Among other things
it now accounts for air units not bombing when damaged and militia
generated before a combat. It also provides a better estimate of battles
involving surface ship combat, although this still can vary greatly based
on how many surface ships actually participate.
26. Bug Fix - Fixed a bug that could allow you to move and undo a move
indefinitely, gaining 1 supply each time.
27. Bug Fix - Several corrections to correct Op-fire bugs were made, including
that now Op-fire directed at units moving over transports will fire at the
transport instead of the moving unit as per the manual. The transport fired
at will be within one region of the region where the Op-fire was triggered
(i.e. might be further along on the chain of transports). Also CV
Airgroups were not op-firing in all cases. Also, with Fog of War on, it was
sometimes possible to avoid being Op-fired at by units that were visible if
moving into an area that was not visible. Several other Op-fire corrections
were made as well.
28. Bug Fix - Fixed a bug that kept some air units from participating in
combat.
29. Bug Fix - Fixed a bug where areas that were both rough and cold regions
required only 2 to 1 to retreat the enemy instead of 3 to 1 (per Rules
Clarification that rough areas require 3 to 1 to retreat the enemy).
30. Bug Fix - When loading a PBEM game with Fog of War on, the opponent's map
will no longer be (briefly) seen.
31. Bug Fix - Heavy Bombers will no longer incorrectly attack ships with their
land attack value.
32. Bug Fix - Damaged Factories can no longer be strategically moved.
33. Bug Fix - Air-only attacks on China (or any area that generates Militia)
will not produce Militia units.
34. Bug Fix - Units will no longer retreat into a frozen area except as a last
resort.
35. Bug Fix - Some combats (often involving subs) were not being shown in the
when using the Game Playback (section 7.3). All combats should now be
shown during the replay.
36. Bug Fix - Sicily is now treated correctly as an island for interdiction and
Op-fire purposes.
37. Bug Fix - Carrier planes can no longer counterattack further away than
their speed allows.
38. Bug Fix - Fixed a bug where Chinese production was reset to occur only
every third turn after having been set to produce every turn. Once Chinese
production increases to occur every turn, it should remain this way for the
duration of the game.
39. Bug Fix - Air units are now retreating properly, flying to nearby land
areas that are within range when necessary.
40. Bug Fix - Carrier Air units that participated in a battle should now
retreat along with their Carrier Fleet when the Carrier Fleet is forced to
retreat.
41. Bug Fix - Fixed a bug caused by undoing the move of a Heavy Bomber that was
carrying an Airborne unit.
42. Bug Fix - Fixed a bug that sometimes caused units that were damaged in
combat in an area containing a Factory to be eliminated instead of being
placed on the production track. This bug could have also happened to a
damaged unit that was part of a force retreated after combat to an area
containing a Factory (damaged units retreat first if they lose a battle
before being removed from the map and placed on the production track).
These units should now be correctly placed in the production track
43. Bug Fix - Units attacking with 0 dice due to attack dice reductions (due
to armor on the defender or the rule regarding amphibious units losing
attack dice if attacking after a long movement) were not being displayed as
having attacked. They now are correctly shown attacking with 0 dice. This
is important as they can reduce the evasion of the unit that they attack,
even though there net attacker dice is equal to 0.
44. Bug Fix/Rules Clarification - Political Garrisons required of a player are
now checked only at the end of that player's movement phase (i.e. the
required Russian garrison of Karelia is checked only at the end of the
Russian player's movement phase).
45. Rules Clarification - Rough Terrain increases the odds needed for the
attacker to take an area to 3:1. This stacks with the Fortification odds,
so a Rough + Fortified area needs an Attacker : Defender ratio of 4:1 for
the attacker to force the defender to retreat.
46. Rules Clarification - Area Supply: When the Area Supply game option is
activated, at the beginning of a player's movement phase the computer will
attempt to move:
- one Supply Point into each land region containing a friendly unit.
- one Supply Point into each land region containing an enemy partisan unit
and at least one friendly Infantry, Militia, Airborne, or Armor unit.
This is an aide to help the player maintain one Supply Point in every
region for defensive purposes and help the player supply his anti-partisan
garrison.
If both enemy partisan units and friendly Infantry, Militia, Airborne, or
Armor units are present this means two Supply Points will be moved to
region. The supply moves that occur due to Area Supply only happen if
there aren't already the required supplies in an area.
47. Rules Clarification - Auto Supply: When the Auto Supply game option is
activated, at the end of a player's movement phase the computer will
attempt to move one Supply Point into each land region containing enemy
partisans and at least one friendly Infantry, Militia, Airborne, or Armor
unit (if no supply is already present in the area). The supply must follow
normal movement rules, and since this is at the end of the movement phase,
it may be impossible for a supply unit to reach the desired area. This is
an aide to help the player supply his anti-partisan garrison.
48. Rules Clarification - Combat Phases: The combat phases are listed below in
the order that they occur:
Air vs. Air
Land vs. Air
Air vs. Land (including airfield, port and infrastructure attacks)
Ship vs. Ship
Sub vs. Ship
Ship vs. Sub
Ship vs. Land
Land vs. Land (range 2 then range 1)
Air units hit in Air vs. Air or Land vs. Air will not participate in
additional combat phases. All other units hit should continue to fight in
later phases, but at a disadvantage per the combat modifiers section of
the manual.
Examples:
Ship->ship happens before sub->ship, ships hit by gunfire are easier for
subs to hit and defend against.
Sub->ship happens before ship->sub, ships hit by torpedoes will shoot back
at a disadvantage.
49. Rules Clarification - A unit fired at by the same artillery unit at both
range 2 and range 1 in the same battle (and no other unit prior to the
range 1 combat), will not suffer an evasion reduction during the artillery
attack at range 1 (i.e. a unit that fires more than once at an enemy unit
in the same battle does not count its previous attack when determining if
the target was previously fired upon this turn).
50. Rules Clarification - The exception in the 4th paragraph of section 8.5.3
regarding Op-fire also does not apply to aircraft Op-firing from other
areas (only enemy units in the initial area will are not allowed to fire at
a unit that moves out of the region it begins its turn in).
51. Spelling Corrections - Text on the map for Chungking was corrected. Pop up
text for Bering Sea regions were corrected.
52. Bug Fix - Fixed a bug that was causing some damaged land units that had a
valid path to a factory to be eliminated instead of being placed in the
production track. These units were not having a "unit destroyed" message
displayed, but were simply disappearing from the game. This was happening
when damaged units were not adjacent to a factory (any factory) and did
not have a working rail link to a factory. These units will now return to
the production track as they should.
