hexes without attacking, causing the German units to retreat after they took damage. Fixed.

Bug Fixes

actually arrived. Fixed.

2. Forts were not building to level 5. Fixed.
3. Production screen – Clicking on the number of units for a type of ground element, where

Hi
Google has new system that is auto blocking me from down loading this patch.
Its saying " cant be downloaded securely ".
Some new protocols they have put in place from the beginning of the year.

I just purchased WitW (thru GOG) and have come across an interesting problem applying the update. My computer is designed to keep only MS Win 10 and its files onto a 256GB drive (C:). ALL of the games and app add-ons go onto a 2TB drive (D:). What is interesting is the v1.02.59 update will NOT give me either an option to download the update into my D: disk or if I manually move it to D: and into the downloaded game file, it refuses to recognize that my WitW game is even installed!

Since there is nothing in the uninstaller to choose where to unpack this - is this a waste of $80 for me?

I'd contact Help Desk.

Don't have your technical issue.

WITW is defiantly worth $80.

Done - Appreciate your response and I'll just wait for the Help Desk.

AFAIR the GoG version has its own update mechanism, just like Steam. The Matrixgames update can't be used.
