Looks very good, is there a chance for adding support for 1366x768? Pretty please? Also seems there is no change with AI not knowing how to unload units in a port surrounded by empty enemy hexes (i.e. capture them with garrison, then unload)

1366x768, 1152x864 and 1600x900 will be supported in 1.8 [;)]

Thanks Bleck! This is why you're my favourite dev team!

Have any improvements been made to the PBEM feature for the 1.80 patch ?

Any chance that air losses will be fractional along the lines of ground units? My current game using the Luftwaffe aggressively in Poland turn 1 had 10 of 11 air strikes result in a loss, turn 2 had 5 of 6 result in a loss. I've lost 17.21 strength points, but of those having 16 be air seems excessive.

Acctually,
By the time France fell the German Air Arm was over 25% down accross the board. Later in the game as air level tech increases losses seem more tame.

Did you ever notice the destruction that can be rained down on a 350 PP+ Pz Corps from some russian Tac Air? The price in Air lossed in small when compaired.

If people are using Air to sweep up damaged units then they will suffer losses.

I don't want to make too much promises, but if nothing new occurs, we should be ready for beta next week.

Any chances for a quick update how far are we from the beta release?

You have to ask Erik now.

Yes, some update would be nice, delays happen but please do not keep us in the dark so!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas ....

Well as Doomtrader posted:

That means WI forwarded the 1.8 patch to Matrix and now it's up to them to actually post the patch on their website after doing their own checks.... this has in the past with other patches typically taken a while ranging from anywhere from a couple of days to weeks.....unfortunately they also don't post how far along they are as they have many games they are working on (as you can gather from browsing around the entire Matrix website) and are too occupied to post such comments...

Hence:

To be continued.........

And we are only left with: Be Patient .... it will come....

There you go - Murphy's law again - I make a comment & boom the moment I am finsihed writing, the facts have changed...........oh well........... so forget my previous post - 1.8 is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
