Is Official 1.01 the Same as 1.03 Beta?

Subject says it all.

No, very different. 1.01 solved some coding issues that were discovered too late to fix for the initial release, while 1.03 has a mixture of bug fixes, new features, UI and graphics changes based on player requests, AI improvements, scenario improvements, and the first new post-release scenario. Plus some stuff I'm forgetting, no doubt.

1.02, which has a lot of what I just described, is being released tomorrow (the anniversary of the Battle of Williamsburg!). Unclear when 1.03 becomes an official patch, but I should add that if there is a need for a PBEM hot-fix to it that would go up this week as well. (I am right now on a Skype meeting in which the recently reported PBEM problems being reported are being discussed -- our top priority right now.)

No, 1.01 was the release version (an at-release update). There was then 1.02 beta, which is going official as 1.02 tomorrow and the new 1.03 beta which was just posted last week.

(Fun typo: I first wrote "I got her firstest with the mostest." Good thing I sometimes proofread my posts before clicking on "OK.")

Now, now, don't fight. [;)] Thanks, guys.
