New Features and Rule Changes
• Added Living Manual v1.18.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.44.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Air units in non-reserve theatre boxes stopped being set to automatic upgrades as they should be,
and in fact were incorrectly being set to manual upgrades. Fixed. Now, units in non-reserve
theatre boxes should spend no more than one turn, after their arrival there, in manual upgrade
mode, before being set to automatic upgrades.
• Found another case where air units in the reserve could automatically upgrade even when set to
manual upgrade. Fixed.
V1.02.44 – 12th October 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: 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 1.02.44 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• Brigades can no longer be used to create Soviet rifle corps.
• Adjusted combat so that various Mech ground elements will be considered dismounted when shot
at under 500 yards. Made it less likely they would be fired at by armored piercing direct fire at
ranges over 500 yards.
• Made it so partisan type unit type units can be used and in most ways is treated as if it’s a fort
type unit. However, unlike a fort type unit it can retreat. Partisan type units are not used in the
standard game scenarios, but are used in one of the Steel Inferno scenarios.
• When a leader is automatically replaced, the system will now attempt to find a leader of suitable
rank, if one is available, before promoting a lower ranking leader.
• Removed the Vehicle Repair line from the left side of the production screen. You can still find the
number of vehicles in repair on the right side of the production screen.
• Added Living Manual v1.17.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.42.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• In some cases the AI depot assist will not function until the game is saved and reloaded. Fixed.
• Fixed typos in logistics report loss by phase section and in send air units back to reserve text.
• Temp port was not retaining its city ID link. Fixed.
• Airbases could end up with over 20 air units, and/or over 300% of airbase capacity. Made
adjustments to transfer routines to prevent this.
• The production screen aircraft build numbers for 2 German aircraft models was increasing by
thousands each turn (display issue only). Fixed.
• Damage to an airbase in a temporary port hex in displaying as overlapping text in the city detail
screen. Fixed.
• Unit moving onto a ferry is incorrectly able to undo its move even after moving next to an enemy
unit. Fixed.
• Vehicles listed as built in the production screen incorrectly includes captured vehicles. Fixed.
• When Soviet corps are broken down, the interface should automatically select the first unit on the
right unit panel. Fixed.
• Air groups in the reserve set to Manual Upgrade are automatically upgrading. Fixed.
• Some ski units were not displaying the ski unit symbol (but were getting their CV bonus). Fixed.
• Editor – Changing the ‘action’ in one action line in an event (example: SET TO) could change
other action lines in the same way. Fixed.
• Editor - Going to the Ground Elements tab in old editor forces you into the new editor. Fixed.

V1.02.41 – 4th September 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: 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 1.02.37 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• The odds brackets for the loss of combat preparation points (CPPs) have been changed slightly
from v1.02.39. They are now as follows:
o Deliberate attack
<20 to 1 odds – 50% reduction
>=20<35 to 1 odds – 40% reduction
>=35<50 to 1 odds – 30% reduction
>=50 to 1 odds – 25% reduction
o Hasty attack
<20 to 1 odds – 50% reduction
>=20<35 to 1 odds – 35% reduction
>=35<50 to 1 odds – 20% reduction
>=50 to 1 odds – 10% reduction
• Lowered front line attrition by roughly 30%, although it is still roughly double what it was in
1.02.32.
• Amphibious HQ units may no longer enter ferry hexes.
• Added visibility to losses due to front line attrition in logistics report losses by phase section.
• On map units in reserve mode will no longer commit into hasty attacks.
• Reduced the amount of lend lease vehicles received by the Soviets per turn as follows:
o 1943 - 4500 -> 2500
o 1944 - 6000 -> 4000
o 1945 - 1500 -> 1000
• Improved the system for sending back non-standard OB ground elements during the logistics
phase and when building up units. The system will be less likely to send items that don’t match
the items in the unit TOE, and will better account for items that are subbing in for non-standard
items. However, there is still a chance that items will be sent back due to limited slots and/or
having non-standard items.
• Audited flak code to bring air phase and ground phase flak into alignment. The changes are
expected to bring down flak losses in some cases in the air phase, while increasing them in some
cases in the ground phase.
• Air unit transfers in the ground phase are no longer reported in the logistics report. These had
been getting reported to both players. Now, only air unit transfers that happen during the logistics
phase are listed in the logistics report, and this info is not in the enemy report.
• Editor Clarification – To create a temp port in the editor, first set the x,y coordinate, player and
nation for a location slot, name the slot. Next, with that slot selected, press the Build Temp Port
option.
• Added Living Manual v1.16.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.41.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Air group renaming does not change aircraft as listed in the rename. Fixed.
• Rallying appears to be automatic and not dependent on range to HQ. Fixed.
• Axis vehicles in depots goes negative, resulting in millions of vehicles. Fixed.
• Soviet unit gets freight from an Axis depot. Fixed.
• In some cases, airbases with aircraft never received any ground elements. Fixed.
• Editor - Can't delete objective cities from campaign victory screen. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• OB.dat file changes – Soviet Mountain units now have their own OB chains and they are
unbuildable. A few other minor OB changes.
• Factory.dat change – Complete review of vehicle factories in Soviet Union, Axis minor and
occupied countries. Reduced vehicle overproduction in Germany.
• 1941 Campaign(s) changes:
o 50k damaged vehicles added to Soviet pool
o several low-priority depots added to supply frozen units in Hungary, Rumania and
Slovakia
o Tyrol removed from Italian Theater Box
o several small scale fixes to events
o several units slightly moved and/or reassigned in Rumanian sector to better match

allowed.
• Destruction of Southwest Front – Added 15k damaged vehicles to Soviet pool.
V1.02.39 – 2nd August 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: 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 1.02.37 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• Increased general front line attrition (damage/destruction of ground elements in units next to an
enemy controlled hex).
• Increased the chance of leaders being dismissed due to perceived poor performance.
• Increased the base costs of dismissing Soviet Front/Army/Corps leaders.
• The loss of combat preparation points (CPPs) by attacking units, instead of always being a 50%
reduction in CPP, is now based on the type of attack and the final combat odds:
o Deliberate attack
<10 to 1 odds – 50% reduction
>=10<20 to 1 odds – 40% reduction
>=20<50 to 1 odds – 30% reduction
>=50 to 1 odds – 25% reduction
o Hasty attack
<10 to 1 odds – 50% reduction
>=10<20 to 1 odds – 35% reduction
>=20<50 to 1 odds – 20% reduction
>=50 to 1 odds – 10% reduction
• When the sub units of an Axis Division or Soviet Corps reform into the larger unit, the unit with the
lowest CPP value is weighted as if it was two units, when calculating the unit CPP. Example:
When units with 25, 50, and 100 CPPs recombine, the combined unit will have 50 CPPs
((25x2)+50+100/4).
• Adjustments to ground combat:
o Reduced AFV losses, focusing on reducing the extreme losses of AFVs by the losing side
(90%+). Now, as AFV losses climb, there will be a chance that the remaining AFVs will try
to refrain from engaging in combat.
o Increased the willingness of armored cars to engage soft targets.
o Small increase in fire against soft targets.
o Reduced the amount of shots taken by medium flak ground elements, more so against
soft targets than AFVs.
• Changes to Max TOE for Axis units in non-reserve theatre boxes:
o Units will normally have their Max TOE automatically set to 100 when in a non-reserve
theatre box.
o Axis non-motorized, non-elite units, in non-reserve theatre boxes will have their TOE’s
lowered if they do not have the sufficient manpower in their national active manpower
pool as follows:
a) German non-motorized, non-elite units, will be set to Max TOE of 80 if the German
active manpower pool begins the turn below 150,000. They will have Max TOE set to
65 if the pool begins the turn below 75,000.
b) Italian, Romanian, and Hungarian, non-motorized, non-elite units, will be set to Max
TOE of 80 if their national active manpower pool begins the turn below 20,000. They
will have Max TOE set to 65 if the pool begins the turn below 10,000.
c) Finnish non-motorized, non-elite units, will be set to Max TOE of 80 if their national
active manpower pool begins the turn below 10,000. They will have Max TOE set to
65 if the pool begins the turn below 5,000.
d) Slovakian non-motorized, non-elite units, will be set to Max TOE of 80 if their national
active manpower pool begins the turn below 2,000. They will have Max TOE set to 65
if the pool begins the turn below 1,000.
• Removed the additional sound effect clean up routines added in 1.02.32 as they were
unnecessary and they caused some bad side effects.
• Adjusted ground support commitment routines to better ensure that there will rarely be more than
300 aircraft committed to any one battle. Also, increased the chance that the Soviets will commit
less bombers to any battle before 1943.
• Increased the chance that level bombers will destroy or damage an element when conducting
ground support (more so for defensive ground support), as opposed to just disrupting.
• Soviet vehicle mobilization during the first 10 turns of the war will now mobilize 60% of the original
number of vehicles. Instead of 260,000 vehicles mobilized, The Soviets will mobilize 156,000
vehicles.
• Changed the display of air unit range circles shown in the AOG view for fighters and fighterbombers that are set to Mission: Fighter. They used to show a purple line equal to their escort
range, but now, they show the purple line equal to their combat (intercept/patrol) range. The unit
detail screen has been changed so that for fighters and fighter-bombers set to mission:fighter,
show escort range/intercept (combat) range. Clicking on a hex with an airbase in the normal map
view (with no ground unit in the hex), will still show both the green (escort range) circle, and the
purple (combat range) circle, for each air unit at the airbase.
• Added x and y coordinate columns to the CR screen for ground units.
• Entrained units are no longer susceptible to first winter rules.
• The Reinforcement & Transfers screen now has a new Renames tab under the Units and Air
Groups tabs. The Renames tab shows all scheduled ground and air unit renames, as well as
some information about these renames.
• Editor – A new editor is under construction. It is possible to switch back and forth between the
new and the old editors when on the editor main screen. The old editor is still fully functional,
except for unit and air group renames. These renames must be done in the new editor. Each
rename no longer takes up a slot in the editor. Instead, all the rename info is contained in the
original unit’s slot. Note there is now expanded search capability. For a directed search with
multiple words, start with a quote (“) sign to limit the search. The new editor has improved use of
larger screens and in-game scaling, but is not yet fully functional. Work is continuing to complete
full functionality in the new editor.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• German and Italian leaders are never promoted. Fixed.
• Ground units in the Axis national reserve were skipping key logistics routines that increase
morale/experience and deal with damaged elements. Fixed.
• Fixed another bug that was causing defensive ground support to completely miss all targets.
• The Max TOE values of human controlled German units were, under some rare conditions, being
altered during the Soviet AI turn. Fixed.
• Axis Allied units can merge into German units. Fixed.
• Air transport freight airdrops are benefitting when delivering to hexes with size 0 airfields (airfields
starting construction). Fixed.
• Units that required a very small amount of support help were not receiving it as they should
(example: Motorized Flak Companies). Fixed.
• Fixed rollover text over requested aircraft in the air directive creation panel (used to say required
aircraft).
• AI – Brigades in city forts could be moved out of the city fort by the AI in a way that had it showing
in two locations at once. Fixed.
• AI – Improved the Axis AI use of Max TOE settings based on manpower remaining in the national
manpower pools.
• AI – Improved Axis rail repair in Road to Leningrad.

V1.02.32 – 23rd June 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: 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 1.02.32 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• HQs on map and in the national reserve may now be placed into refit mode. This can be done on
the CR screen or by right clicking on the unit within the Reserve box on the map.
• Added more frequent use of clean up routines for processes created by sound effects.
• Editor - Added an option to disable the Soviet ability to create new units. When disabled, the build
new unit menu button does not appear (and the hotkey will not function).
• Editor - Added a function to clear all ground element and aircraft production pools.
• Editor – Added a function to remove off playable map depots, and zero out their vehicles and
freight.
• Errata: Undocumented rules - For a deliberate attack there are some important modifiers. If the
attacker (in the current phase) or the defender (in the previous phase) has moved the relevant HQ
there is a -1 modifier to the chance of a Support Unit being committed. If the attacker has not
moved their HQ in the current turn, then there is a +3 bonus to the chance of a Support Unit
commitment.
• Errata: In addition to the rules above, a Soviet Rifle Corps can be formed with 3 rifle brigades.
This will follow the usual rules for Guards/non-Guards status and will need at least one turn to refit
to full strength
• Added Living Manual v1.13.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.27.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Crash in CR screen after filtering down a list of units that had been created by clicking in the
Production screen on the number of units using a specific weapon (like Romanian Rifle Squad
39). Fixed.
• Airbase units switch support to Hiwis but get no support. Fixed by never allowing Hiwis into
airbases. This will also correct existing games.
• Airbases don’t send men back to the pool when no a/c are at the base. Fixed.
• Scroll is missing from list of cities in campaign victory screen. Fixed.
• Editor - CR/Production link for units with a specific weapon produces incorrect numbers when
filtering on the CR screen. Fixed.
• Editor - Improved ability to move/edit air groups without altering AOG assignments.
• Editor - Generic factory data is displaying incorrectly in editor. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• 1941 Campaign(s) changes:
o 19th Panzer division - OB change to Czech tank based PzDiv OB 31, added some
missing ground elements
o 8th Italian Army - arrives directly to MAP

• Ob.dat changes – Added reduced size Soviet Rifle Corps to be used in future scenarios.
V1.02.29 – 13th May 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
• Several tweaks were made to reduce the intensity of air to air combat.
• Added a line to the scenario victory screen to display victory points scored from Events (campaign
victory screen already shows event points).
• Editor – Added the ability to Lock Generic Data in a scenario file. On the main tab in the editor,
selecting yes will allow you to alter generic data in your scenario file, save the changes in your
scenario, and not have the changes overwritten when loading the scenario. This functions as it did
in WitW. There are 16 generic/semi-generic files. When you have these locked, there is the ability
to either update your scenario with all of these files, or check just those you want to use to update
and click on the ‘update selected generic data’ option. Locking the generic data in a scenario file
will only impact the scenario. Note that for the 3 semi-generic files, only some of the data in these
files have been treated as generic (i.e. things like depot levels and storage in cities are not generic
and never required locking in order to make changes in each scenario, while the name of a city is
generic and to change this in a scenario would require locking). Note: Currently you will not see all
the generic files listed if using a minimum resolution display. A height of at least 960 is required.
This will be corrected in future versions when we add in-game scaling to the editor.
• Editor – Added the ability to set starting number of ships in the production screen. Also added the
ability to set the number of ships in Lake Ladoga.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Combat execution slowdown caused by a bug fix in v1.02.27. Fixed.
• Theater box garrison values, and CV values of units in the unit display were dropping the 0 to the
right of the decimal place (i.e. 0.08 was displaying as 0.8). Fixed.
• At minimum resolution, in the production screen the number of ships was not displaying in all sea
zones. Fixed.
• Game crashed during set weather phase of the logistics phase. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• Ob.dat file changes:
o Fixed Sturm Brigade so that it fields 88 FlaK instead of 88 PaK
o Removed the Soviet "upgrade" from Corps Artillery Regiment to Corps Artillery Battalion
o Renamed Reduced Shtat Rifle Division OBs to Reduced Shtat RDs so they are not
created by combining two rifle brigades. These OBs are intended for smaller scenarios
and their size has been set to brigade.
• Ground.dat and device.dat files – Several minor corrections including but not limited to:
o 12.7mm Breda AAMG corrected to size 1
o speed of the Panzer Pioneer 44 squad corrected to 6
o Soviet Churchill IV 6 Pounder accuracy corrected to 675

V1.02.27 – 22nd Apr 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
• Air units with custom loadouts are now set to Auto loadout, during the logistics phase, if the
availability date of their loadout has passed.
• Increased the fuel used by aircraft each time they engage in air to air combat, thus reducing their
ability to engage large numbers of enemy aircraft in any one mission.
• Editor – Changed the default air doctrine settings that are created when the Init Air Doctrines
function is used on the air doctrine screen in the editor.
• Manual Addendum: Fighters, and fighter bombers with a Mission setting of Fighter, display their
escort range for radius in their air unit detail screen. Fighter bombers with a Mission setting of
Bomber, display their combat range (in this case bombing range) for radius in their air unit detail
screen. When the range circles are shown on map using the AOG functionality if the unit consists
of fighter bombers one of two circles will be shown. If its Mission setting is Fighter, the purple
circle will show the area within which it can escort missions. If the FB’s Mission setting is Bomber
then a purple circle will be shown indicating the range over which the plane can fly to strike a
ground target. This distance is 4/3 further than the escort range, but is usually then lowered due to
having a bomb loadout (this can be checked on the load out tab for the air unit). If an airbase has
aircraft but no ground units present in the hex, then left-clicking on the hex will generate one or
two range circles depending on the aircraft at the airbase. The green circle is the greatest escort
range of any fighters or fighter bombers with Mission set to Fighter that are at the base. The
purple circle is the greatest combat range of any air unit at the base. So if the airbase only has
level bombers only the purple combat range circle will be shown but for fighters and fighter
bombers with their Mission set to Fighter, both the shorter escort and the combat range circles are
shown.
• Added Living Manual v1.12.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.27.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Several bug fixes and adjustments for flak:
o Defending side ground support was not being properly fired at by attacking side flak
support units. Fixed.
o Axis flak during June 22 1941 turns was being reduced along with Soviet flak. Fixed.
o Flak and bombing for air units that were diving down to 1000 feet were not being handled
correctly for ground support. Fixed.
o The listing of the number of guns being reported in the battle report as contributing flak
has been improved to be more accurate re the exact number of guns that contributed flak
value against the enemy air mission.
o The current turn column of the losses screen was often showing higher flak losses than
were actually occurring. Fixed.
o Other miscellaneous changes/improvements were made as the flak code was reviewed.
• Several fixes were made involving displacement of HQs and support units in the HQs:
o Support units in non-isolated HQs in isolated hexes (units just surrounded during the
current player turn) are being destroyed when forced to displace. Fixed.
o HQ units in airhead supply that are forced to displace are being destroyed. Fixed.
o AI – AI support units in HQs that voluntarily displace, while isolated or in airhead supply,
are not being destroyed. Fixed.
• Air units, on vary rare occasions, have 255 damaged aircraft. Fixed.
• Units in city forts, and fort type units, are prepping for amphibious invasions, which causes several
issues when an invasion is ordered. It was not intended that these units be allowed to prep for
invasions. This has been blocked so no further preparation is possible. If you have been prepping
any of these kinds of units, we strongly advise you not launch an invasion while those units are
still in the hex with the amphibious HQ.
• AI and AI Air Assist – Improved the air AI so it tries not to fly air transport missions in bad weather
except to resupply isolated units. Bad weather is heavy rain, snow and blizzard. Other
improvements to air transport missions were made, including eliminating missions to hexes more
than 25 hexes from supplied enemy units.
Data and Scenario Changes
• Ob.dat file – Removed duplicate AT-rifles in OB slot 272.
• 1941 Campaign(s) changes:
o Adjusted starting air directives, air doctrines and pilot pools. Note: We’ve tried to improve
the Axis 22 June 1941 airfield attacks and other air directives, causing as much damage
to the Soviet air force while reducing Axis air losses where possible. For players using the
AI Air Assist, you’ll want to push the button to activate it on turn 2 (if using auto AI air
assist, this will happen automatically). Experienced players are free to delete these air
directives (easiest from the Air Directive Summary screen) and create their own. Changes
to the starting air doctrines have also been made to generally maximize effectiveness and
minimize losses. Players are encouraged to review the standard air doctrines, experiment
with changes, and adjust them to suit their air force play style and goals.
o Added event 137 alerting the Soviet player of the imminent disbanding of rifle/mech corps
HQs.
o Changed several Axis Baltic ports to export ports.
o Changed depot priorities of Bucharest and Buzau to 1.
o Changes to land units:
999th Afrika Mot Bde - rename removed, demotorized, set to 65 exp/morale (penal unit)
