Testing thread for Public Beta 1.03 M3 : Last Update 4th april

[Vic]

Hi,

In fact its me that changed the size of those OFF + DEF modifier boxes in the last BETA version.

I'll see if I can get the fonts clearer. I like the smaller box since it obficates the troopType artwork less.

Best wishes,
Vic

As someone whose eyesight isn't great, have to say that I much prefer information clearly presented even at the expense of some graphical niceties. Not my call of course, but I'd be very much in favor of the old red/blue modifiers that were clearly readable. This seems like a case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" [:)]

Puplic Bata 1. 03 M

Just a reminder, or for information, the Wehrmacht used for numbering their units often also Roman numerals I, II, III, IV, V, VI ...
For example: III. Panzergruppe = 3th Panzer Group.

Otherwise, I find in the Puplic Bata 1. 03 M extensive corrections of the German texts.
I will intensively deal next weekend with the game and look forward.

Thank you.

Actually thats correct to use roman numerals for Armeekorps, but for Armies the numbering was 4 Armee for example. While at this stage the panzergroups were not technically full armies they followed the numbering format. It helped clarify on map markings at a glance which were armies and which were corps.

Hmmm. I like the "War Diary" concept, but so far the diary entries seem to have nothing at all to do with what the division is actually experiencing in the game. For instance, 30 June entry is something about "panic" and his platoon having to abandon its positions and run helter-skelter to the rear. But in game, the relevant division had just finished leading the encirclement of Bialystok and spearheading the successful final attack on the city. Certainly no panic, the division didn't even take any casualties in the final assault.

Also, I can't find where to access the diary, aside from the pop-up at the beginning of the turn. And it would be nice to be able to designate the division you want to track, rather than having it randomly assigned.

Also, I like your new swamps better than your old swamps!

Yeah, diary definitely not working. Poor deluded Hans is reporting to his parents that Stalin has surrendered and he'll be coming home next week. It's the 4th of June and I'm only just over the Dniepr, far far from any of the main objectives, much less Stalin's capitulation!

[lancer]

Hi Chuck,

Clean start or a save game?

The Stalin has surrendered is a rumour (one of a number) that is circulating around the platoon. We are talking a private's perspective of the war here, not that of a Field Marshal. WAD.

In the attack on Bialystok is it possible that one of the other units involved panicked?

Cheers,
Cameron

[ChuckBerger]

Clean start. Definitely no panics in the stack, or anywhere along the entire front. This was turn 2...

My aging eyes thank you for reverting to the bigger Red/Blue offensive/defensive modifiers. Much easier to read. [:)]

Hi Chuck,

Found a small bug that was causing unnecessary panic in the ranks.

Thanks for highlighting it.

Cheers,
Cameron

[Vic]

Updated version 103M to version 103M2 which has an updated scenario file fixing the issue with the panic story.

Best wishes,
Vic

1.03M played until around September (made it to around Smolensk). No issues what so ever. Windows 10

[Vic]

Thanks for reporting back!

@all: do please keep us posted even if all is working well with v1.03m. This is going to be an important patch for 'mainstream' users who are still at the official version of 1.02g.

Best wishes,
Vic

Has anyone found a use for Siege Arty in a normal game, or better, with the restriction of converted track only?

Free setup is clunky to use. How about just drag and drop?

Just asking...
