1.03 UPDATE

Post by Jason Petho »

Good day.

Just a quick update.

I will be wrapping up the order of battle edits for 1.03 on the 23rd. While the oobs will be incomplete, they will provide an excellent jump off point for expansion (and/or revision) for future Updates. Included will be major additions for the Soviets and Russians in both East and West Front, major additions for the Germans in East Front and major additions for the US in West Front.

After the 23rd, hopefully the BETA BRIGADE can give those additions and the new features a quick once over and note any glaring errors. If any are found, they'll be taken care of and then the UPDATE will be sent to Matrix to convert into the 1.03 Update.

A minor hiccup is that I will be going to Germany and Sweden between the 27th of December and 8th of January (Frankfurt -> Hamburg -> Malmo -> Stockholm -> Oslo -> Frankfurt).

If George and Wyatt are stumped with something I have done, it will have to wait until I return to correct. I don't believe that will be a problem though, as they know far more than I.

Take care and good luck

Thanks for the update Jason.

No problem. I will release a "what's coming" on the weekend.

I am looking forward to it. A bit of driving, but taking the better half for some needed R&R. I lived in southern Sweden for a couple of years, so it will be nice opportunity to see some friends I haven't seen since returning to Canada.

I will go through some withdrawal though, as I won't be bringing a machine.

The horror, the horror.

Shortly after my return. February 1st sounds like a good date. The 1.03 UPDATE is being BETA tested now, so I should have a number of revisions to do when I return from holidays.

Ok, thanks for the update. It is better to take time and do it well, than giving cr@p in time.
Good luck!

Is this the same high quality beta crew that tested the last 2 updates ? If so what are you doing to replace them with an actual COMPETENT beta crew ?

It is just a game Herman.  The beta Brigade are volunteers who are not compensated for their work.
 
I know several of the guys and am sure they would whip your silly a$$ on the battlefield.

Just wondering...have you volunteered your services as a beta tester ?

The BETA BRIGADE came to be after the 1.02 UPDATE.
