Hi Guys, I thought I would start a new thread, that over the coming weeks, will highlight a lot of new stuff, being added to the game, for your future enjoyment.

Here as a starter is a list of German Air Aces that will be in the game, a great many more Commanders will be included in the game for all Nation's. All these Commanders played important rolls in World War 1, and I dedicate their addition to the game, to all their relatives and friends, to all these brave souls, who gave their lives for our freedom.

Kirk,

Like in the past: Will your MOD be on the game's scenario playlist?[8D]

Good luck with the MOD, Bob[:)]

Some more new German Commanders.

Hi Bob, Yes it will be added as a new 1914-1920 + Grand Campaign.[:)]

Hope there is going to be an expanded "Production Panel" to handle all these new commanders....

Zeppelin now cost more too produce and upkeep! As do Fighters & Bombers, these changes I think will improve the Air Warfare game even more.

Kirk, Am I reading this right? 1914 till 1920? If true, this is what a lot of players have been asking about or have wanted in this game....[;)]

Hi Bob, There is no need to expand the production panel as such, all the new additional Commanders, just activate as the war progresses.

1919, Is going to be absolutely "murder"! [:D]

In an attempt to stop the gamie ploy of disbanding Small Garrison units, I have reverted them to what they were designed to do, and that is Defend your Cities behind the frontline, these are your home guard units, so just be grateful that they are their protecting your precious Cities.

Also as an added bonus, all the scenarios in the game will be even harder to win, as the AI player will have more advantage, as per units on the map, when you play at higher difficulty levels.

As I said previously elsewhere, Convoys are now on manual control, this is something that has been, needed since the games first release.

This has been a "Bone of contention" for a lot of players: To disband or not disband SGs? Many do not realize the advantages or disadvantages of disbanding for the exact reasons you point out in the above SS.
