Just to clarify--- from the patch notes, it doesn't look like this official patch includes the stuff from the 1.03 beta. So I assume for those of us who like the changes in 1.03, we should stick with the beta for now?

Yes -- if you're using the 1.03 beta there is no reason to roll back. Only those still playing 1.01 need to upgrade.

This patch has been released on the 153rd anniversary of the Battle of Williamsburg. I'd hoped to get a beta-version of a new Williamsburg scenario out today as another commemoration, but that's taken longer than I expected. But, on the plus side, the OOB work I'm doing for it will enable me to make a new historical scenario devoted to the May 4th cavalry pursuit as well. So, two new Williamsburg scenarios coming soon, one in the next day or so.

sounds good to me, will take them away on Friday when i go again on hols, thanks

Good to know (still playing with the beta 1.03, although I just experienced a crash in the Williamsburg standard scenario, right after I ordered Jenkins HQ to march up towards Redoubt 9 ... I believe a mouse hover / click somehow caused the freeze. If it continues, I'll try to document it).

In any case, kudos to you, Gil, for introducing me to a new battlefield - Williamsburg - that I have yet to play in any previous board or pc game. The battle map is chock full of varying terrain features, offering considerable replay value, I believe. Really well done!

• Change: Select higher echelons in OOB with click; show selected unit/echelons in OOB

I thought Eric or Gil said this was not fixed yet, the sentence in bold font.

Did this get added to the patch?
