6.2.8

Sorry for not being so active with HoS for the last few weeks
First of my girlfriend came to France so I am spending time with her
Second of all all the work time I have left is dedicated to my new game (which is really starting to be ready now! At least the beta phase)

[h3]Additions[/h3]
  • Added capitulation events for all Baltic states in Europe 39.
  • Destroyed sea bridges graphics. We forgot about them ! Sorry !
  • Large harbours now have a terrain modifier of -15 instead of -10 (which was the same as the small harbours).
  • Rank icons when you select a unit or hover above one with your mouse, letting you know at a glance the rank of a unit without the need to right click on it.


[h3]Changes[/h3]
  • The AI will not stay on human owned VPs anymore. They will vacate them so that the human player can use his own VPs for upgrade purposes for example. The AI will still get inside those VPs if there is any threat, but will leave ASAP.
  • All Baltic states will switch to Allies when the date reaches June 1940 (Soviets should easily take over and perform the annexation).
  • Winter war in Europe 1939 had both SU and Finland in the same team/faction. SU will now be put in the "Winter War" faction and Finland in the Axis.
  • Removed the Ju-188 recon stat.
  • Strengthened the British position in North Africa in Europe 39.


[h3]Fixes[/h3]
  • AI ships could resupply at sea, sorry about this bug this is a major one.
  • Capitulations events marked as Historical Focus ONLY would get executed even when Historical focus was OFF in the settings … Oops :x
  • Okinawa as the Japanese was doomed to end after turn 1.
  • Couldn’t open the escape menu on mobile if OOB was open.
  • Units with 0 MPs were only blinking half way.
  • Units with custom names couldn't not be redeployed once sent back to the reserve.
  • Winter war in Europe 1939 event was happening one year too late.
  • Strat bombers couldn't blow up bridges.
  • Achilles tank destroyer didn't have the same attack stats as the 17-pdr.
  • Op. Edelweiss on the German side there was a random city that was assigned to Germany instead of the Soviet Union.
  • Op. Edelweiss had a Su-2 light bomber with bomb equipped even though it already is a light bomber.
