What's in 1.02?

Piercing Fortress Europa is a new game from veteran game designer Frank Hunter, which covers the campaigns of the Western Allies from July, 1943 through the end of April, 1945 in Sicily and Italy. Each area has its own map and time scale to best represent the campaigns for Sicily and Italy and the player is offered complete freedom, limited only by a historical order of battle and logistics model, to plan his operations and explore all of the many “what ifs” that the Italian theater has to offer.

What's in 1.02?

Post by FrankHunter »

Just wanted to let everyone know about what 1.02 is.

First, I've fixed the problem of units behind rivers not being able to use withdraw orders because technically they're not in a ZoC.

Second, there's a major bug caused by saving a game and reloading it. It only hurts German players and helps Allied players. If you're playing the German side and you see the hexes around Verona at 0 supply you know the bug has appeared.

Third, another big bug, this one tends to appear in the Sicily scenario. Basically an Italian coastal unit can be eliminated and since its eliminated it doesn't retreat and therefore an invasion against that hex is deemed a failure.

Fourth, fixes a bug in the Air Force orders for the German player when trying to make an attack on a port, and related, in PBEM games the Axis player didn't see the popup telling him how much damage he inflicted with his port attack.

I'll be uploading 1.02 this weekend and hopefully it will be available this coming week.

First and fourth use the word fix. Second and third don't use that word. Do they fix the bug or just identify it for us?
Thanks.

The failed amphibious invasion when you destroy the defending unit? Yes Jim, that should be fixed.
