I'm saying goodbye to easy victories!

Matrix Games and Simulations Canada combine and completely remake two classic NATO vs. Warsaw Pact wargames into a new classic. Based on the original wargames “Main Battle Tank: North Germany” and “Main Battle Tank: Central Germany”, Flashpoint Germany is a new grand tactical wargame of modern combat. Every aspect of modern grand tactical warfare is included, from advanced armor, air and helicopters to chemical and tactical nuclear weapons. Step into the most dangerous war.. . that never was.

Very happy that the patch is here!

On the list of changes Erik wrote:
Combat. Unit duels were resolved sequentially which gave a marked advantage to the first person to open fire – most often the defender. There were occasions where fire was simultaneous but this was not being triggered very often in practice. Now the criteria for simultaneous exchanges have been enlarged and the incidence of one-sided massacres will be decreased notably.

That's why I was winning so easily against the AI!
Thanks for taking care of this!



BTW, Have anybody tried to create scenarios where WP has "5" training?

It looks like now we will have to make very good use of timing in the move/assault orders. Also, defensive postures playing as NATO could eventually be overcome by the huge number of WP runners.

God I hope so!!

I'm about to play my first PBEM as WP, and knowing my skill set, numbers are gonna be the only thing going for me [:D]

That, and any cheat codes you folks can provide that'll equip my Spandrels with nuclear warheads.

I have tried the patched version and YES! My NATO companies cannot stop cold the WP batallions anymore! It makes more sense now, at least to me!
