3.2 Design changes *NOT FINAL*

I see your point, but remember that the units aren't exactly in the middle of the hex. The main thing I wanted to fix was the horizontal fronts being 'bumpy' and allowing flanking attacks everyhwere diluting their importance.

The other choice would seem to be requiring 180 degree attacks, which would make flank attacks almost never happen.

I feel that if you stick your nose out that far, it should get punched.

I think your'e right. It just took me a little while to see past the hexes and the counters. Perfection is never going to happen although I notice that you keep trying. Long may that continue. Thanks.

Best wishes but still wishing I had my beloved pipe...

You do. Because this could potentially change the balance of some scenarios, it is strictly optional.[8D] We plan to make any major changes optional.

Minor changes, you'll have to deal with, but major ones like this should always be optional.

You really are de man! [:)]

Fixed another bug.

Weather just got worse. The clouds weren't clustering the way that they should have.

Aweome, I always thought the clouds' formations looked a little...retarded.

Awesome. Does this also apply for the mud then? Is it dependent on hex size?

I don't know why Ralph omitted this one from the above list, but it's so good I have to mention it:

Ranged-iconed units (artillery, HQs) can now be placed in Tactical Reserve without fear that they will move into the front lines if left in that condition at the end of the turn. In other words, when in Tactical Reserve, they only provide support and lack the "move into the attacked hex" part of it. Non-ranged icons in Tactical Reserve still work the same as before, and Local Reserve still works the same as before, even for ranged-iconed units. (So, if you really want that HQ to move toward attacks, then place it in Local Reserve instead of Tactical Reserve.)

So now, players no longer have to fret over the risk that an early turn ending will find all their artillery in tactical reserve instead of dug in, thereby causing those artillery to jump into the arms of the enemy because of it.

Is there a timeframe in mind for release of the 3.2 upgrade? Thanks in advance!

Yes. There are lots of moving pieces involved, however, so the official answer is 'When it's ready'
