This update expands scenario design possibilities. The scenario designer can place the AI side formations, pillboxes, and obstacles in the Mission Editor.

The AI counter-attack aggressiveness can be adjusted for each scenario separately, allowing more customization over the opponent's behaviour. Two new scenarios are added to the base game to showcase these features. Also, the planning tools are improved, so the player can draw colored lines on the map and attach text to the map markers.

Very cool, thanks

The new lines thing makes me wish it was possible to draw and write and map after the battle ends. Would be neat for AARs.

Agreed, also ability to access unit info after the battle ends. You cant pull individual unit info, just the OOB, be nice if you could also pull up the enemy individual info after its over and of course more symbols to use.

Here is an example of how improved an ARR can be when using the Mark tool:

I always wondered why wargame developers didn't put simple AAR tools in their game. Certainly makes it quicker to do AAR's which are a big selling point, at least for me they are, I always look to AAR's to help me make a decision on a game.

Thanks for the update.

Is this it for updates on this engine?

Not yet.
