Long time, is there maybe a newer version of the scenario then 1.3 or maybe a beta?

In my last playthrough with my brother I noted some small issues with 1.3:

-Activation LIV Korps event 93, changed to hex 142,26 range 5
-Activation XXIV Korps event 104, changed to hex hex 162,16 range 14
-Unconnected Rail east of Mga fixed
-Entry hex of all of 15.SS Gr.Div moved west to hex 40,140 (to ensure it doesn't arrive behind soviet lines)

I've added the changes to v1.3b but the only testing I did was to see that the .sce was still valid, so hope I didn't unwittingly mess up some equipment file or anything else.
I've only attached the actual .sce file, the rest of the files will be same as 1.3

Thanks for the update!

A little question, I wondered about a type of artillery unit found in the Luftwaffen Divisions. It is listed as "7.5cm L/36 PaK 97/38(f)". Of course it irritated me that an AT device is in an artillery unit but the device has a bombardment range and so seems to be usable as artillery device.
But does it still work as AT device?

I think the answer to your question is, "sort of".

Not directly as an AT gun. But artillery pieces have a chance to inflict damage on armored vehicles.

The back and forth movements by the Russian fleet in their "small pond" resulted in this turn in fire from German coastal batteries and massive casualties. I think I sunk +5 destroyers and 1 or 2 heavy cruisers. I would say that the AI may need some support here. Maybe locking them for the first few turns till the coastal batteries close to Leningrad are gone?

I heard about that, but as I tried looking for details I couldn't find anything in the manual or in the readme for the last update. Can you gives any details?

Found this a comment from 2019--

Half of the AP is used as AT ... now I have to look for that in the Manual

Cheers

Many thanks, I hope the manual gets an update about this.

Did some testing.

Target density (unsurprisingly) is important.

In 5-km wide hexes, a target unit with 99 tanks seemed to easily avoid any damage.

When the unit was increased to a strength of 1000 tanks (red dot displayed), then the unit lost close to a hundred tanks when taken under bombardment fire by an artillery unit with 100 105-mm guns.

Would have to test more, but results point to a low chance of damaging armored vehicles with fires if too many units are not jammed into a hex.
