The organization of the Grossdeutschland division in May, 1944

These new formations model both the differing quality of equipment different divisions were supplied with, and the time period they historically were organized.

There is also increased variety for other Axis powers OOB's. Italy now has divisions modeled for the Metropole, North Africa, and the Russian Front.

While the changes to the Order of Battle are the most noticeable feature with this update, there are several others worth highlighting. Aircraft with anti-armor cannons are more likely to deliberately target AFV's, all scenarios were updated to include the new Division templates, there are a host of bugfixes and scenario updates including the correction of certain formation and location names, along with changes to scenario reinforcement and supply pools.

We are very proud of this massive update, and hope you enjoy playing it.

Thank you guys so much for doing this! I remember during the beta my mind was blown seeing foreign tanks in security divisions. It just makes so much sense! Wishing everyone a great holiday season next month. Can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us in 2024.

Thanks for catching that. We're working on resolving the date issue.

Edit: This should now be fixed

You should be able to continue your game with the new patch. However, you should make sure your opponent is also going to update, as if one updates, you both must update to continue your game.
