Bill101 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi With the release of patch 1.03 and the announcement for our 1870 Franco-Prussian War campaign, I just want to point out that a lot of improvements to other campaigns were also included, and especially to this WWII campaign. Also, thanks for all your feedback which has been a great help here. This should now give the Axis a better chance of victory. Bill Here are the changes: 1939 Storm Over Europe - Media: refugee1.bmp and the png files - French unit morale now falls when Belgium is conquered by the Axis. - French unit morale now falls when there are two Axis units within four tiles of Nancy. - Base Soft/Tank attack values for Tactical Bombers reduced from 2 to 1 (Catacol Highlander). - The German Tactical Bomber that starts near the Polish Corridor now starts with level 1 Ground Attack tech. - Refugees will block roads in Northern France when Belgium falls, reducing Allied supply in the area NE of Paris. - Naval Loops added south west of the Azores for the Allies (The K Man). - Kesselring spelling corrected (Strategiclayabout). - The Allied AI will now support the Yugoslav coup every time (Hyazinth von Strachwitz). - Mekili (283,93) will now be affected by the Malta Effect (Hyazinth von Strachwitz). - The effect on Allied naval units in Norwegian waters has been reduced from moving Norway 15-20% towards the Axis, to 3-8% (Hyazinth von Strachwitz). - One Soviet mine has been added in the Urals, to start producing when industry is transferred from the Ukraine, and the Allied AI will receive two further mines. - Stalino has been changed from a city to a town. - If the Soviets carry out the Winter War then when Finland joins the Axis some Finnish units will deploy at half strength; whereas if the Winter War isn’t fought then they will deploy at full strength. - Soviet winter toned down (Catacol Highlander) and it will be better targeted to avoid it having any effect in most circumstances on Finnish units. - Hodges added to the US HQ build list (Dan Fenton). - Cost of the Operation Chariot Decision reduced from 50 to 20 MPPs (Dan Fenton). - AI’s responses to Decision Events amended (Ancient Demon). - Weather in Flanders and the UK amended (Strategiclayabout). - The cost of Production Technology for the UK reduced from 175 to 125 MPPs, and for Industrial Technology from 150 to 125 MPPs and the UK now starts with 1 chit invested in Production Technology (Dan Fenton). - France now starts with level 1 in Advanced Aircraft (Strategiclayabout). - De Gaulle raised from a rating of 4 to 5. - Greenland will now transfer to US control in April 1941 providing there are no Axis land units in the country (Ancient Demon). - The maximum number of chits that can be invested in Infantry Warfare is now 2, and the cost for the USSR of researching this has been raised to 225 MPPs. - Duplicated French unit names removed (Dan Fenton). - Disruption range of Soviet partisans amended (Strategiclayabout). - The effect on Soviet mobilization of an Axis landing in the UK has been decreased from 20-25% to 10-15%, so that this is in line with the effect it has on US mobilization (Strategiclayabout). - Pop up amended for Operation Mercury so it will fire when Greece falls provided there are no Allied units in Crete (Strategiclayabout). - The cost of Infrastructure research has been reduced from 100 to 75 MPPs. - France will now receive 50 MPPs to help reform the army when it is liberated (Dan Fenton). - Images added to the Victory reports at the end of the war (Dan Fenton). - The Axis AI will now automatically take Luxembourg after France and Belgium have fallen, if it has not done so before (Dan Fenton). - German Tank build limit increased from 9 to 10. - Increased Italy's Occupational Efficiency to 100%. - Reduced the Operational Air Minimum Connection Supply value from 5 to 3. - Decisions 303 & 616 corrected, relating to the US opportunity to ask Germany for surrender terms.
