subtract from any positive amounts and you can be left with zero PP
• Reverse sorting order on PG Summary report
• Updated Report Status! script to be faster
• Added GAR to minor Soviet garrison names

appearing. The initial Soviet Shock penalty has been increased from 50 to 70% and tapers off at a slower rate of -5 per round instead of -10%

Melitipol to Melitopol, Dunaburg to Daugavpils, Kurman to Dshankoi
• Soviet Reorganise card base cost increased from 15 to 20 PP

• Soviet Admit Crisis card cost increased from 10 to 15 PP
• Redid Soviet Reinforcement schedule for Central front (less bunched and more spread out over time) & updated briefing notes
• Pripet Marshes hexes 37:40, 32:42, 34:41, 31:45 are now alligator infested swamps
instead of plains.
• AGN starting line-up reconfigured. Memel territory expanded one hex.
• High and Extreme fatigue levels given dynamic tool tips in Daily Logs detailing units
affected and their current fatigue levels
• All Siege Artillery Messages now show in Aide de Camp report (apart from civilian casualties caused ones which are in the relevant Daily Theatre Log)
• Extra info on AP available for unit in unit selection popup for combat
• Hitler Interference can no longer occur on the first campaign turn
• Chief of Staff renamed (pool of ten possibles given more realistic names)
• Extent of Summer mud conditions (July) toned down

Fixed
• Captured fortification bug causing fortifications to disappear once taken fixed
• Fixed bug which was causing excessive Siege Artillery delays. Things will run smoother now.
• When all Soviet Marshals are used (pool empty) the relevant ‘change marshal’ cards are now properly disabled
• Replace Tsarist card now gives historical marshal type with Historical Option ON
• ‘Release Tsarist’ card renamed ‘Release Marshal’ & cost increase per use now working correctly.
• Release Marshal/Dismiss Marshal/Firing Squad! Soviet cards now disable properly once replacement pool of Marshals emptied & any PP’s refunded
• Couple of typos in end of game PDF’s

Pflugbebeil to Gen.Lt Pflugbeil
• Franz Halder demoted from Feldmarschall to Generaloberst (Gen.Oberst)
• Highlighted items like Kommandante = Oberbefehlshaber have been omitted as non german speakers would struggle here. It's also possible I missed a few outliers as there is a lot of text in the game.
• (E) PBEM++ specific bug preventing a number of german game functions from working correctly.
• Fixed yet another and hopefully last issue with the tooltips.
• Fixed some minor issues with the ?-mark tooltips
• Soviet Reinforcements (bottom tab and Change Orders card) properly sorted

Thanks for the update team.

[FeurerKrieg]

Love it when I buy a game and just a few days later there is an update posted. Thanks guys!

[LordCucumber]

Is the patch in any way backwards compatible with existing savegames? Will it affect them?

[Vic]

Backwards compatible as always.

All items listed with (E) will go immediately in effect, all the others (95%) will only kick in when you start a new game.

Best wishes,
Vic

I installed this and the NGB.exe is dated 12/10/2015. Is this correct for 1.02g?

[lancer]

Hi Jim,

If you see 1.02g at the top left of the main splash screen you're good to go regardless of any file dates.

Cheers,
Cameron

Thanks but I posted in the wrong forum. I was looking at Wars of Napoleon. My bad.
