v1.03 CHANGE LIST
- fixed a PBEM++ error where Neutral countries attacked on the very first turn of a challenge showed a few extra units (in the attacked country) during the replay sequence.
- fixed a scripted SURRENDER_2 event error that would cause Minor countries to surrender to 'Neutral' as opposed to their Axis or Allied occupier.
- fixed a zoom issue, center of the map area currently being viewed is now used instead of the upper left corner.
- fixed an issue where the game was not recognizing Windows display scaling settings and as a result was then not properly showing all information areas, thinking it had less space to do so.
fixed an attacking air unit targeting error for when defending naval units in storm conditions could not be targeted if on a clear sea island hex.
- fixed an error in the SELECT CAMPAIGN screen that did not allow you to view a full list of campaigns if you had more installed than the current 13 listable slots.
- fixed a sound playback error that had Cavalry Brigade and Divisions using the Corps movement sound and not the Cavalry Corps movement sound effect.
- fixed a custom sounds and fonts error that still did not have them properly read and load if set in a custom campaign.ini file.
fixed a naval unit action point recalculation error for when a fully mobilized unit encountered a hidden non fully mobilized unit under fog of war.
- fixed missing weather information when mouse hovering over resources that are also on top of terrain such as mountains or rivers.
- mouse hovering over Oil and Mine resources now show their STRENGTH value as opposed to being listed as a SUPPLY value.
- Subs in Silent mode will now have that mode displayed on the unit whether it is a friendly or enemy unit.
- Subs that are attacked while running in Silent mode, will now have their potential losses reduced by 50%.
- Subs that are attacked while running in Silent mode will have their defensive return fire effectiveness reduced by 50% with no hits possible against attacking aircraft.

Curious whether 1.01.04 beta PBEMs are permanently forked as well.

Hello Leadwieght and Seminole
I'm sorry, v1.03 is not compatible with v1.01.04 games. However if you do not update you can of course continue to play these until the next beta release.
This is currently due in approx. 3 weeks but does depend somewhat on circumstances

Thanks for clarifying.
We're making good progress (50 turns in), so I'm hoping my first PBEM pushes through to the end so we can upgrade.

Does this update include the earlier hot fix over Denmark-Norway Axis takeover not working. List does not say so which seems peculiar.

Yes, it's this one:

- fixed a scripted SURRENDER_2 event error that would cause Minor countries to surrender to 'Neutral' as opposed to their Axis or Allied occupier.

Is a saved single person v1.02 saved game compatible?

fixed an issue where the game was not recognizing Windows display scaling settings and as a result was then not properly showing all information areas, thinking it had less space to do so.
If this has to do with the pictured area, it is still the same here.


mouse hovering over Oil and Mine resources now show their STRENGTH value as opposed to being listed as a SUPPLY value.
NICE !

Hello jackharry
Sorry for not spotting your post earlier

Yes, single player games from v1.02 will work with v1.03, although campaign changes probably won't take effect until you start a new game

In your case it looks like it wouldn't have an effect as you already have very little real estate there for an extra info. It was more an issue on other systems that showed considerable space for extra info but it was still not being shown.

one small wish is when off my view air attacks I dont see the loses for those attacking air units while watching the review of opponents turn
