Please give it a try this weekend, and give us any feedback you may have, remembering that it is a beta. We expect to make this comprehensive update official next week, with all the changes listed, and linked, below.
V1.04.28 – June 8, 2011

[b]New Features and Rule Changes[/b]
[ul]
1) Revised Manual – With this version, you will find a new pdf manual (US Letter) which has corrections and revisions. We hope to periodically update this manual and incorporate new rules and rule changes into the manual. This version has some manual corrections, and a full list of the new features and and rule changes listed at the end of the manual through version 1.04.24. The plan is to incorporate these changes into the text of the manual and remove them from the list as this happens. It will take us some time to catch up with all the changes made since release, but our goal is to catch up. Thanks to Leonardo Rogic (Apollo11) for his efforts to produce this living manual.
2) Hotkey Change – The command link feature added in version 1.04.24 that previously used the ` key has been changed so that it uses the Shift-Z key.
3) New Rule– Added a fire penalty in combat when there is a large number of attacking units. The force value of the attacking side is calculated using the following values for each non-support, non-artillery division unit attacking:[ul]
Corps 15
Division 9
Brigade 5 (unless the brigade has less than 2000 men in which case it is 3)
Regiment 3

Bug Fixes
