13. Gameplay Change: Malaria effects adjusted
39. Gameplay Change: Adjustments to supply consumption by land units

First, you guys ROCK!! Thank you for so much continued effort on this wonderful game.

Second, can you elaborate a little on these two updates? Are the malaria effects adjusted to be more disabling to LCU's, or less? Will LCU's use more or less supply?

Thanks again,
bc

Wow, some massive changes in there! Thanks for the all hard work guys!

46. Improvements to refueling calculations and processes. Ships are more likely to fuel from bulk oil supplies on oilers/tankers. Also adjusted the refueling and rearming sources for the “from port” and “at sea” variations.

I think there is a typo in this one - should "oil" be "fuel" in the second sentence? Probably won't trip up experienced players but worth fixing for the official readme.

And there's another in item 48. West of Ceylon, not East.

Great work guys!

Question: If we load the patch with the new garrison requirements in China, I suppose right on the first day, Japanese players will have a problem, right? You will have to scramble to fill out new garrison requirements.

At least it doesn't trash the industry though, just costs supplies, VPs, and damage.

I know many of you will consider the public beta to be the same as the official patch - but I would just like to remind everyone that is not the case. The public beta is certainly 90%++ (maybe 98%+) the same as the official patch will be - but they are not identical.

Because we know we cannot adequately test everything in the timeline we would like - we are essentially asking the community to help us and itself (the community) by helping us finish the testing process. We will run this for about a week then roll in any corrections then release the actual patch.

Understood. Thank you guys, looking forward to seeing (or hopefully not!) if there's anything which has been missed in testing thus far.

Thank you all very much for your efforts, and to those in the US have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Qestion was the bug that made Units in Strat mode moving along a RR more then 25 hexes to drop out of the strategic mode been fixed???

[BigJ62]

An increase in fatigue and disruption. (why would it be less)
There were 2 bugs where units were using less supplies than required - now fixed.

Couple more questions:

1. Are the monsoon changes embedded in #20 and #21? Somewhere else? Not in?

2. I'm probably just thick, but what's the definition of "glide" bombing? Everything not skip bombing? IOW, level bombing? I must be missing something.

Hi, just wanted to say that you guys did some great work with the patch.

Really love the industry management screen, helps alot when you can control AC production and everything else on a single screen. The visible search arcs are cool also.
