V2.13 – January 7, 2013

Changes:[/b] [ul]
• You can now also create a new HQ without a leader
• Leaders have more staff points now
• Bit slower leveling for leaders
• You can change command of empty units without loss of leader cards now
• You can now move a general (dismiss) to the officer pool without replacing him.
• Mouse over on MXSTF shows a little bit more info now
• Officer pool stats issue fixed
• There is now some variety in initial stats of leaders
• Lower base chance on death or wounded when playing cards and even lower chance when officer levels up
• Added an editor tab that allows you to relatively easily create some leaders for any ATG rule-set scenario by replacing the master with the New Dawn master.
• Already did one such small scenario conversion, you can find it in NEWDAWN/ directory.

Notes:

• Still have to work on getting some cards and feats in there that are specifically useful in high command HQs. But for now you would be wise to put any officer with the training card in a high command position. High command officers is still something that has to be worked upon, suggestions are welcome.
• Leaders are still in beta phase, more feedback is definitely welcome.

2.12 Beta Changes

Thanks for getting this beta patch out so quickly and thanks to Matrix Games and VR Designs for the continued support of what I believe has become a classic operational warfare game.

I've updated my NATO Counters Mod to support this patch.

I am noticing a much smaller range for supply via sea lift. Did this get changed?

New version of the Public Beta now available!

Nice Andrew

I noticed you can now rename leaders, Cool!

wonder if the mouse zoom or a button to slide the UI out of the way like the DC series is still in the plans.

Does it fix compatability with W8?

....

no...

I've not had any issues with ATG and Windows 8 Professional other than an occasional hang when loading the game where only a portion of the game screen is shown. I simply Ctrl+Atl+Delete on those rare occasions that it happens and end task. It then launches ok on the second try.
