If you could read[;)], then maybe you heard about borders and other features that didn't make it in the original release, patch 1 was about bug fixes, I'm just asking what, if any made the cut in patch 2.

A few goodies added:
1) New map icons to show bases that are low on supply or have had partisan attacks. Map icons will also show hexes which had combat in the last turn.
2) Comprehensive industrial management screen accessed off the top bar.
3) Monsoon weather effects
4) Pilot management improvements and a larger group screen with more controls on it.
5) You can now see search arcs.
6) Lots of bug fixes in the EXE as well as data and the AI.
There are a lot more, that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

So when is monsoon season?
I think Summer ( N. hemisphere ) through early Fall. MaybeMay/ June through September, something like that.

That's a large portion of the year. I wonder what the effects of a monsoon will be?

well, one could guess that supplies will move more slowly, troops will become fatigued more quickly, planes will have trouble finding ground targets etc etc.. BUT that is all guesswork..

There are some limits to what can be done within the game engine. The external tools are more visual than the in game screens. I might add some features to industrial management a little further down the line, but we're not adding anything more right now.
If somebody doesn't want to have monsoon effects, they can make a custom scenario with settings like the current scenarios.

Great! These map icons that show hexes which had combat in the last turn.
What happens during multi day turns( 2 or 3 day turns)? Does the icon/info fade
out slowly if no followup combat happens in the same hex, or does it just blink out
at the start of the next day?
Any change in the political points system / feature ? please
?Oh by the way. Thanks for this little snip of info wdolson.

Build more Yamato's. Also build the Shinano as a Yamato as it was originally designed to be!
