patch 1.01 - Work in progress

Time of Fury spans the whole war in Europe and gives players the opportunity to control all types of units, ground, air and naval. Not only that, each player will be able to pick a single country or selection of countries and fight his way against either the AI or in multiplayer in hotseat or Play by E-Mail. This innovative multiplayer feature will give player the chance to fight bigger scenarios against many opponents, giving the game a strategic angle that has no equal in the market. The game uses Slitherine’s revolutionary PBEM++ server system.

Great fixes to replacements based on supply. While this still allows units to be able to fight at full effectiveness, it at least prevents them from recovering their full strength. So it is a huge step in the right direction.

Totally agree with waichou's comments. Thanks for taking our feedback and using it to improve the game.

Doomtrader, thank you for getting this patch out quickly. I am happy to see the care put into this game. It has great potential to be a staple diet for many other WW2 ETO Lovers.

By the way, will old saved games and PBEM games be compatible with the patch?
