I have the same thing, the "update" button is there and if you click it a download will start and iirc if you look at the cmbn icon it will show as if updating but when you start the game you will still be in 1.10. After the "update" is complete you can do it all over again if you please. Apple needs to let us upgrade :cool:

Thanks for the replies guys! I guess a big part of it comes down to refining my tactics to better fit the WEGO system (wich I'm beginning to like alot), I come from the Close Combat series so I'm used to instant acces to my troops. This would be an excellent feature IMO wich would add a lot of flexibility. In the scenario I mentioned above I had issued Cover Arcs to my AT assets but since they were in hiding I guess the arcs were overridden by the hide commands.

Hi all! I have a question regarding spotting while in cover or hiding but first: SPOILER ALERT! I'm sure most of you have played Barkmann's corner but those who haven't played it yet read on at your own risk. So, here we go. I'm just starting to really dig into the game and starting to grasp the more advanced mechanics, for example I've learned to take my time and SPOT the enemy before committing to an attack and to try and get eyes on as large a part of the battlefield as humanly possible at all times. Even though I have learned some hard fought lessons I am still very much a noobie and something strange happened to me when playing this battle and I thought maybe someone here could explain it to me. This is about three quarters into the scenario, Barkmann has dispatched a platoon of Shermans that came down the main road and has repositioned so that he covers the approach between the buildings in the centre and a hedgerow running along a wheat field. So far the battle is going well for me, the allied forces are stuck in the field on the other side of the buildings and my infantry is holding good positions and are for the most part still hidden. I have taken some losses (I guess it's a good idea to give your landsers fire arcs if you don't want them to open up on a tank crew while 3 other tanks provide overwatch...) but overall I am in control and the battle has a nice "realistic" feel to it. My left flank is protected by an infantry platoon supported by 2 'schreck teams hiding behind a stone wall running along the short end of the wheat field. Earlier I spotted some Shermans running across the map and navigating into the wheat so I strongly suspect that they will try and flank my position. I have my teams hide behind the wall except for 2 scout teams that will look for the tanks and when they see them everyone will jump up with 'faust and schreck in hand and there will be a hail of projectiles smashing into the Shermans and the day will be won. Well, things didn't exactly turn out like that... It turns out no one was able to spot the Shermans moving at full speed through the wheat, not even when they were at the other side of the stone wall and plastering my poor troops was a single one of them spotted. I don't know, it feels to me like at least one soldier out of an entire platoon should be able to see three tanks blasting away with everything they've got a few metres away. I wish I had a screenshot to show 'cause it was really weird watching it happen. I don't know, you've probably seen stranger things happen but I'm new to this and still learning the ropes. Should I have kept my men hidden or should I have kept everyone at the ready and pray the tanks don't spot them until they are in range? Meh, I guess what I really want to know is how spotting works when your troops are hidden behind cover. I guess they don't have much of a view when hiding but I did have sentries up... Oh well, I did win in the end chirps

Gee, thanks guys! I guess I should steer clear of the second post then... I'll keep on lurking the screenshot thread and all the fantastic AARs. :cool: Chirps

Hi all! First post, medium time lurker. I play the game on a 2012 Macbook Air wich also has the Intel 4000 and it is very much capable of running the game. I run it at 1440*900 with all settings at high/max and a whole bunch of mods active and it runs surprisingly smooth. I suggest using headphones though since the fans will go into overdrive after some time. Oh, and don't make the mistake I did and buy it through the app store, I'm still stuck at version 1.10... Biding my time until the east front arrives... Here are some screenies to give you an impression of what it looks like. So don't be afraid that it won't run on the 4000 chipset, just make sure you can go to v2.0 if you want to and buy the game through Battlefront instead of Apple...
