Luckily my opponent still had the hotfix, thanks for the work you keep putting into the game.

"opponent" sounds so "impersonal" don't shun me because I'm playing the dark side [:D]

It was a toss-up between 'the evil one I must destroy', 'that strange Canadian fellow' or 'opponent', your pick [:)]

"209 - Fixed Industry Management Screen - was allowing free expansion of industry"

Damn! Why haven't anyone told me about this before?!

[Andy Mac]

LCU disbands were not really workign they were costing VP's which was not the intent but were also open to exploit so we re did the system

Now you can disband any unrestricted LCU at the national home base (Delhi/Tokyo etc)

And only there at no VP cost.

All other disband to pools are not allowed. So you need to shift the unit you want to disband to Delhi/Sydney etc where it can be disbanded for free and 100% of active and 50% of disabled deices are retrunted to pool

[Zacktar]

Thanks once again, everyone. I really appreciate your dedication to the project.

[Venividivici10044]

Maybe I'm dense, but where is the patch file for download? I can't find it in the tech support thread.

[Zacktar]

Took me a while too -- it's attached to JWilkerson's post #78 in this thread. (I can't seem to link to it directly for some reason.)

Refers to LCU, IIRC

By unrestricted, does that include units which are eventually scheduled for disbandment?

BTW are Chinese corps disbandable?

[Andy Mac]

No units scheduled for disbandment may not be manually disbanded

Chinese are not as they are perm restricted - the warlords wouldnt give up their fporces to a rival.....
