I was just wondering...on the 2.02 patch you guys added France, Great Britain and United States and added Russian units to the polish to East Front, in West Front you guys added Poland with french and British units on my desktop, but when i installed in on my laptop i don't see the same. How would i be able to have it the same on my laptop? [&:]

and

when will the 2.10 update come out? im pretty excited. [:D]

I believe the added OoBs are part of the Forgotten Battles mod. Enable that to see them.

Sorry, no 2.10.

We're working on completely new "EF III" / "WF II" / "PF" (Pacific Front) games though.

If you click the Update button on your main game menu, it should apply the necessary updates for you.

Already did that. How do I check if it's the latest version and the update was not a error.

Night visibility variations: I was in more than my share of night actions, and visibility varied enormously depending on the status of the moon, whatever the local weather was (especially the humidity), and how close you were to dawn or dusk.

With CSME and beyond, you can set the visibility on a turn by turn basis, to whatever value you want, day or night. So if you want to see a kilometre away at night, you can set it to do that.

Way more options now for the scenario designer and many more to come!

Ah yes, you have to ensure that you are inputting the dates, the amount of turns and visibility correctly.

The visibility should be: (assuming 30 turns) 1-15[8] 16-30[10] (this has the first 15 turns set at 8 hexes, the remaining at 10 hexes)

The day/night setting should be: (assuming 30 turns) 1-30[d]

Date format is 21 June, 1941
