Dev Diary #4 - Motorized Infantry and Waypoint Editor
Wed, March 27, 2024




Greetings Commanders!

Following up on the infantry improvements highlighted in our previous developer diary, the roar of engines heralds the arrival of motorized infantry as a novel force in Armored Brigade II. Motorized units combine the rapid mobility of mechanized transports with the adaptability of foot soldiers, enabling commanders to swiftly shift their forces to where they are most needed, be it for a surprise attack or to bolster a faltering defense. This category of unit was underrepresented in the original game, and their appearance not only facilitates more dynamic gameplay but also enriches the database with a greater variety of combat formations and support units. They exemplify a tactical trade-off between protection and mobility, balanced with affordability. These units enable rapid troop movement across the battlefield, presenting a cost-effective alternative to traditional APCs and IFVs, which are more heavily protected or equipped with greater firepower.



However, the real enabler is the new option to separate dismounts as a distinct formation from their organic transports, a feature highly anticipated by our community. The separation mechanic allows for nuanced tactical play; transports can be directed to safer locations once their precious cargo has disembarked, minimizing losses while maximizing offensive and defensive potentials. This feature not only facilitates the appropriate use of unarmored transports, such as trucks or jeeps, but also enables the recreation of tactics like the Soviet bronegrupa or experimentation with the motorized experience of the US 9th Infantry Division in the late Cold War. However, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight a mechanic often overlooked even by seasoned Armored Brigade players: using the Advance command while dismounts are disembarked enables infantrymen to move ahead, with their vehicles following in support. To make this effective, simply allow them time to reorganize.



Next, we want to introduce the Waypoint Editor, a game-changing tool designed to give you more control over the movement and behavior of your units. This feature allows commanders to meticulously plan the path of their units, editing waypoints and orders along a route where units can adjust their standard operating procedures, formations, and even engage in predefined actions like disembarking and separating from their transports. The editor is designed to be intuitive, making it easy for both veterans and newcomers to plan their strategies down to the smallest detail.


The Waypoint Editor is still a work in progress

To complement the waypoint editor, we have also implemented waypoint synchronization. This feature enables formations to coordinate their movements, ensuring that they arrive at their objectives simultaneously. This is crucial for executing complex strategies that rely on timing, such as coordinated attacks from multiple directions or simultaneous strikes on different enemy positions. Synchronization ensures that no unit goes in alone unless specifically intended, bolstering the effectiveness of combined arms tactics.

This level of control empowers commanders to execute complex maneuvers that were previously difficult to manage, bringing a new dimension of planning to Armored Brigade II. By synchronizing the actions of diverse formations, players can create synergies on the battlefield, exploiting timing and coordination to outmaneuver their opponent. Moreover, this is part of a broader development plan, as these features serve as enablers for AI scripting. This will eventually allow for greater control over scenario creation, and enable the development of predictable tutorials. We will delve deeper into this aspect in one of our future developer diary installments.



Both of these features stem from our commitment to providing a deep, strategic experience that mirrors the complexities of real-world military operations. The waypoint editor offers the flexibility to navigate the battlefield with precision, while waypoint synchronization brings a new layer of tactical coordination, allowing for more deliberate and impactful engagements. We believe these updates will significantly enhance the gameplay experience in Armored Brigade II, offering players more tools to craft their approach to each mission.

It should also be mentioned that alongside these substantial improvements, a series of changes, perhaps superficially irrelevant at first glance, have been implemented to enhance the overall gameplay experience. A notable improvement is the overhaul of our road march formation and pathfinding algorithms, designed to facilitate smoother unit movements across the battlefield. Additionally, new parameters have been introduced into the database, such as mobility and acceleration, which further refine the behavior and performance of units. Each change, no matter the scale, is aimed at providing a richer, more detailed simulation of warfare. As always, we are eager to hear your feedback on these new features. Your input is invaluable in our ongoing efforts to improve and expand the game.

Stay tuned for more updates and developments in our next DevDiary. Until then, let the engines roar and your strategies unfold on the digital battleground!

Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2 Morale Update
Mon, March 25, 2024



Good news for all you Gary Grigsby fans out there, a new update for War in the East 2 is now live.

The Morale update adds a new optional rule about, well... morale. You can find the new morale settings, which allow you to adjust national morale by country in new games, if you scroll down in the game options. Also introduced with 01.03.09 is a new optional rule that re-balances retreat attrition. When enabled, routing units will suffer less retreat attrition than normal. The default is for this to be off. With this option enabled you are under far greater pressure to actually encircle enemy formations to destroy them, rather than purely by pursuit.

1.03.10 rebalanced air/ground attacks. The number of requested bomber aircraft for Ground Attack Air Directives must now be set to at least 10 (or set to 0 for Automatic). This update also saw improvements to the multiplayer UI, making it easier to report and log any errors you may encounter.

You can find the full changelog posted below.

IMPORTANT NOTE 1
: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.03.03 may not load these newer save game or scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2
: The extensive changes made to the OB and map files in 1.03.03 will require that any modded scenario created prior to 1.03.03 will need to have their generic data locked using generic data from 1.02.52 or an earlier version. If you are going to start a modded scenario that was created prior to 1.03.03, make sure that you are using a version of the scenario that had its generic data locked.

Change History

o Game now logs server requests/responses/errors in a server.log file that is stored in the
main game directory (Gary Grigsby’s War in the East 2). Whenever the game is restarted
and the first server request is made, it will create a new file. It will store the previous
server file as server-prev.log. If you report a tech support issue with your server game,
please attach your server.log and/or server-prev.log file to your report.
o Other changes were made to reduce the number of automatic retries, reduce the amount
of logins, and avoid token expiration issues.

scenarios:
o RHG Command HQs changed to a different OB, restoring the 500 support squad max
size

V1.03.09 – 9th January 2024
New Features and Rule Changes
• New Game Option – Reduced Retreat Attrition – When enabled, routing units will suffer less
retreat attrition than normal. The default is for this to be off. This value may not be changed once
a scenario has begun in PBEM and MP games.
• New Game Option – Morale Mod (by country) – This allows a value between 0 and 20 to be set
for each active country. The value set is added to the ground national morale value for the
country. The default is for all of these to be set to 0. This value may not be changed once a
scenario has begun in PBEM and MP games.
• Leaders in charge of air command HQs will no longer gain victories and defeats.
• In order to reduce failures when attempting to save MP games, the amount of time has been
increased before a save will timeout with a failure.
• Manual correction (section 23.7) - Reserve units committed to support a cross river attack are not
subject to additional disruption.
• Manual correction (section 28.6.2) - Damage is calculated by factory as follows: ((100-
damage)/100) x factory points and rounding up. So a 12 factory with 40 damage would produce 8
(((100-40)/100) x 12) = 7.2 rounded up to 8.

Lots of commonality in the experience.

Everything from seeing if your models are in the Joint Training Data Services (JTDS), to entity enumeration, to DIS / HLA, to common terrain databases, to the various network connectivity issues, ...

But most who come to me seem to think its just a case of joining a "World of Tanks" server.

If it is of any consolation, we're working on all those aspects, or have certain ideas how to tackle them. In V5.

Rule the Waves 3 History Series Episode 3 - The Washington Naval Treaty: 1919-19
Fri, 22 March 2024



The First World War was ruinously expensive. Dreadnought construction had drained the coffers of competing fleets. To help limit this reckless spending the naval powers agreed to limits on capital ship construction. Cruisers and Carriers would be the main focus of naval spending in the interwar period.




Special thanks to Drachinifel for lending his voice to this project.

You can expect Episode 4 out in April.

In my day job there is always a drive for the rapid generation of synthetic terrains for both virtual and constructive simulations, including the support to live training through synthetic wrap.  There must be a better way of generating.
There are, and we're working on them.

Update 03/22/2024
Fri, March 22, 2024

The game is moving to an updated operational phase system.
Fri, March 22, 2024



The game is moving to an updated operational phase system. 1x1 km cells will become a thing of the past, the seizure of territory will proceed node by node, with all the ensuing changes in the operational and tactical phases of the game. Such a significant change will result in the disappearance of signs of entrenchment, and other less significant changes in active operations.

The principle of troop deployment before battle will also change; the areas in which deployment is available will be reduced and tied to the location of the battle group on the operational map.

The algorithm for accounting for the level of fire has also been adjusted, various small changes have been made to various aspects of the game.
