Does "Various unit updates" include the fix to the 1942 Italian SU reinforcements that are incorrectly permanently frozen in the 1941 campaign scenario? I'm assuming no but just curious.

EDIT: Just realized I could open editor and check myself. Will do when I get back to main comp.

[OberGeneral]

Thanks. Downloaded and installed.

[Great_Ajax]

Not yet. That is in the 1.00.13 patch that is currently undergoing internal testing.

Thanks!

[mikael333]

Cool. Thanks. Will the German AI assist be improved so that it generates less losses?

[OberGeneral]

Does this patch include the previous patch or do you have ti install that first?

[Erik Rutins]

All updates are comprehensive, so they always include all previous updates.

[OberGeneral]

Thanks Erik.[&o][&o][&o]

[First_Contact_Gamer]

"For a support unit to be committed to battle, the HQ that the support unit is attached to must be within 30 motorized movement points of the attacking unit being supported"

Changed from 5 hexes to 30 hexes - why? ..this is a huge differance

[Denniss]

not hexes, mot movement points. The support units are assumed to be motorized so they must move to the battle. If that movement would cost 31 points the unit would not be able to support in battle.

And it still no further than 5 hexes

Any ideas when the next Beta comes out? I was mentioned about a month or two ago you where planning on issuing another Beta in June on top of 1.00.12.

[Joel Billings]

We are still working toward trying to release a new public beta before the end of June. We are testing out in-game scaling now, but it won't be fully ready this month. We're trying to release an update that has all of the bug fixes and improvements we've made since .12 (30-40 code items and a number of data improvements as well). It will have some changes/improvements to some windows that were made as part of the scaling work, but changing the scaling from 100% in-game won't be available yet. No promises, but we do want to get these changes out soon and then go back to finishing the in-game scaling work to the point where players can use the new scaling preference item.

Thanks, I get scaling is an important thing but I'd echo your sentiment in not holding up the release of other fixes just for that, especially if it will take a little longer. I've been waiting over a month to start a new campaign because of the fixes/updates I know are coming. Appreciate you and the team's work, again!

Thank you Joel for the update.
