First off the COTA Patch 3 build 146 is being tested as we speak. If all goes well we will release this patch soon.
Included in the Patch will be revised versions of several of the existing COTA scenarios - Foothills of the Gods, Charge of the Centaurs and Parachutes over Corinth. In Paras over Corinth we have fixed an anomoly ( ie swapped the bridge from the Abn engineer to the LAH engineer ). In the other two we have made some minor fixes ( like resubordinating the 72nd Div Base under its Div HQ - oops ) but we have also taken the opportunity to add several new reinforcement schedules which greatly expand the replayability of these scenarios and offer scope to increase the difficulty level for both sides.
But the big news regarding scenarios will be the inclusion of a brand new scenario called Gamble and Scramble. This is a what-if scenario that sees a major bold counter-attack on the German rear area, targeting Elasson and specifically the Germans resupply line that runs through it. The Allies are taking a big gamble that this will stymie the German push south to Athens and the Germans have to scramble what forces they have to hand and launch a decisive counter-attack.
There's plenty of manouvre, cut and thrust action and scope for command flair in this one. Here's a screen dump showing the Germans counter-attack in full swing.
