Patch 2 Progress - 10/5/2011 8:43:37 AM

Status: offline 		Hi all,

I've been squashing bugs this last week. I have just put out a new set of replacement apps for the beta testers to work on. They picked up one issue I will need to address tomorrow. This afternoon I took some time out of bug hunting to play the Battle of the Roadblocks scenario as the Americans. I really enjoyed it. Thoise Germans gave me a run for my money. I was a little too casual and didn't really appreciate how much the changes we have made have increased the offensive tempo. I scraped through for a draw.

I had to resort to a desperate counter attack by the 2.506th Para Bn to relieve the 1.506th that was being enveloped by the Germans from the north west. But I was unaware that it was in fact a double pincer and my poor footslogging paras got caught out in the open at sun up and two companies were slaughtered before I could call off the attack. I'll do better next time.

But I thought I would also show you the new AAR screen with the extra details on casualties.

There are so much number crunching going on behind the UI, and presenting anything that can help the player understand what is happening, or in this case happened, is more than welcomed. A nice addition!

Bad para and glider landings will certainly fill up that category when the time comes.

Oh, come on! Just call them "features" like any other sensible software developer would, and be done with it already!
