GAME ENGINE CHANGES/FIXES
- Fixed an HQ renaming exploit that allowed players to rename highly rated HQs while then having the ability to repurchase the originally named HQ at the original high rating as well (Andreas150_ssl).
- Fixed an end of AI turn FoW error that did not reveal adjacent and visible enemy resource supply values.
- Fixed a rare unit at 0 strength error (dhucul2011, Yogol).
- Fixed a unit completed its move determination error that was unfortunately introduced for the WWI release (bmorgan077).
- Fixed a unit placement calculation error that would allow you to incorrectly place a naval unit in an enemy port if the enemy port was located next to a friendly port (Peter Hugo).
- Fixed a recon error that did not properly allow a Maritime Bomber to recon sea hexes (bmorgan077).
- Fixed an issue where re-loading from an autosave would not bring up again any applicable beginning of turn decision events (stormbringer3).
- Fixed a SURRENDER_2 event firing issue, was not firing in some cases, that was linked to dummy DECISION event.
- Fixed a SURRENDER_2 event issue that was not properly removing units and placing them as optimally as it should in appropriate/logical territory.
- Fixed a custom campaign strategy guide launch error (El Condoro).
- Fixed a Operational Action Button error that did not allow players to select 'Recon' or the 'Recon and Bomb' options for WWI Carriers or Seaplane Carrier units (bmorgan077).
- Fixed a naval damages at sea error that caused Troop Transports to take much higher damage than the default maximum of 1 strength point (The Land).

- Added a map scroll speed adjustment bar in the SETTINGS screen.
- Attacks against Ports will now target the port first and then any Transport unit located within the port with a 100% chance of potentially damaging the Transport. Previously these attacks would only attack a Transport within a port.

- Naval Mines can no longer be placed within a port (bmorgan077).
- Naval Mines will no longer be counted in the LOSSES screen (already not counted in the REPORTS screen) and will continue to be listed in the DETAILED LOSSES screen but no longer count against the total losses there ([40-1] Ulrich).

- Added a notification dot red highlight over the info button for first time players indicating there is important information here to select and view.
- Selecting a unit or resource on the map will now switch to the appropriate last major selected in the Country Selection panel in the upper left corner of the game.
- AI Fleets will now be less likely to be baited out of their preservation strategy if scripted as such. This will apply to Germany, Russia and Austria Hungary early on in the war (xwormwood, senjako).
- AI HQs will try and stay out of reach of enemy units slightly more than in previous builds.

The PBEM won't load now. Getting an error message for wrong version of the game. I just started an email game but can't get to it.

I am using the Steam version with the Blue Max mod.

[Hubert Cater]

This should be fixed now.

[operating]

That was quick..!![X(]

[gamer78]

This is great addition.

HQ highlights for assist and manual modes will now show green for attached, red for attached to another HQ, and blue for unattached for all applicable units that are within the attachable range (ArtDen, budd).

Love the changes! I've got one more suggestion for future changes When you entrench and then later entrench again the original entrenchments now just disappear. I think you should be able to build entrenchments and then ADD more later --

The Strategic Command forum over at GOG is pretty much nonexistent so I’ll try here instead. Just wondering about when the latest updates will show up for the GOG versions of Strategic Command? I have I have both WaW and WW1 from them. Luckily I have the Matrix version of Sc WiE.

[Hubert Cater]

Yes, GoG versions of the patches should be available shortly if they haven't already been posted.
