Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.77

[MaximKI]

Hello everyone,

Today we are glad to announce a new update for the game. You can download it from the 'File Downloads" section of your registered game in your My Page tab on the Matrix website or by clicking this link: HERE

Here is the changelog:

v1.06.77 – September 24, 2023
Note: version 1.06.77 will allow you to continue with any saved games you started with 1.06.66 or higher. It is recommended that you complete the reaction phase of your current 1.06.66 game before loading it with 1.06.77.

Changes & Fixes:
•Updated the “Production System” document to correct the narrative on research.
•Aircraft being researched will now show % progress toward a breakthrough in the Weapons Database screen.
•Added correct aircraft graphics for Allied Re.2002 Ariete (thanks paulopanz!)
•Improved Allied AI in all theaters. Weather over the target will be less of a factor in determining a valid raid unless weather exceeds the max overcast setting for the HQ.
•Increased Allied night activity in the Med, and Allies can use oboe/gee from Italy (ranged from Foggia #9) beginning in May, 1944.
•Axis player now has the option to waive a sudden death victory and continue playing the campaign. Each time “sudden death” is checked (every 31 turns) the axis player will continue to get this option if they otherwise qualify.
•US bombers that are fitted with H2S navigation device lose their lower ball turret. Replacements do not begin with H2S anymore, they get auto-upgraded gradually each day after the device becomes available.
•Raid aircraft assignment UI: moved the selection tabs for low/high bomber escorts down to the lower screen for easier access.
•Fixed a bug that was impacting new pilot allocation to groups with a severe casualty history/honor roll.
•Players can now view the current size of the pilot pool for the nationality of the group pilots in the group display screen.
•617 Squadron now carries the 12000 HC bomb as standard.
•Fixed a legacy bug that was causing launch issues whenever single groups were assigned to fly two raids in a single day. Also fixed a related issue where the 2nd raid would not list on the raid display or show force composition. Tip: time your second raid to launch at least 6 hours after the first raid to allow for maximum recovery/repair from the first raid. Note that recon, night-fighters, and the Allied heavy bomber groups in BTR cannot fly multiple raids in a single day.
•Play balance: In Avalanche and Overlord scenario scoring, troops are worth 1.25X more points to offset the increased loss of combat value while retreating introduced in version 1.06.47.
•Removed the screen messages related to detection of Axis night-fighters by the “Monica” device because they occurred too frequently and provide nominal benefit to the players. Monica’s still function in the game normally in all other respects.

Thanks for the Update, But I can't seem to be able to move my Rail Flak units tho via the Regular way. Is there a New way to move them around ?

[simovitch]

Nothing has changed, except the selection highlight color is now yellow instead of blue to make it easier for us old folks to see. You can't select a unit from the list, but I don't think the player ever able to do that properly.

Are you seeing something different?
