WWII-Europe v1.09 Status Hello,
Decided to start this thread as we make the run towards the next version release. I have been working on the game since Friday, since I am cutoff due to road closures due to Hurricane Harvey. The house is dry and the power is still on. Many of my friends and day-job coworkers were not so lucky. It has to stop raining sometime in SE Texas. Current status is:
1. Autoscroll has been improved. It now works on all edges. For scrolling left or right, just move the mouse cursor to the narrow band (3 pixels wide) from the edge. For scrolling up or down, there is a narrow band where autoscroll is active. Just move the cursor until you find it. Note the Autoscroll is off while the cursor is in the Command Panel.
2. Air Ground Support operation has been modified so that it works for both attack and defense. Just move the air unit into the same hex as friendly ground units during the Turn Deployment phase. If that hex is attacked in the enemy Combat Phase, then the air unit performing this op will be included as a defender. Note that Air Ground Support for attacking units work the same way as it has in previous version. i.e. The friendly air unit performing this op in an enemy unit ZOC can be selected a an attacker.
3. Design Note icon has been added to the main Command Panel. Clicking on it will display the Design Notes for the current scenario. Works similar to Game Status. I am converting the information in a form that can be displayed rapidly.
4. New scenarios for this version are 39, 40, 41, 77, and 79. There may be a few more by October when the release is planned.
That is it for now.
Happy wargaming!
