Hex of Steel News

- Added : New Europe map, this one starts in 1941 for Operation Barbarossa ! Special thanks to Gibclaret1980 who reacted when I said I needed help for making maps. A 1943 version and MAYBE a 1944 version will be available as well.

- Change : I continue the revamp of all soviets units. I did around 20 today, so half of what's left. I will finish it tomorrow ! Here's the units I did : IS-2, SU-100, SU-85, BM-13 Katyusha, MIG-3, LAGG-3, Tupolev-2, Tupolev-SB, SU-76, BT-7A, SU-122, KV-1S, SU-152, and ALL t-34's. So the T-34 76 1940, the T-34 76 1941, the T-34 1942 the T-34 1943 and the T-34 57 1941.

I really love how they look, hope you will love them too, I did them in order of use, I think the ones that are left are of little use to everyone so that's why I haven't rushed them.

Cheers !

- Added : You know can upload videos to the workshop, which will be played (with sound) when the games open, in the main menu. Format NEEDS to be .MP4.

- Change : The way wallpapers are being loaded. I figured it was dumb to load ALL custom wallpapers as you only need a random one each time you go to the main menu. Now its not loading them at all, but loading a single one when needed. Basically saves a ton of time when launching the game.

- Change : Soviet revamp of the following units (I invite you to join us on the discord server with the link on the store page of the game to see the before after of almost all units im revamping) : Light infantry, AT infantry, MG team, Mortar team, Engineers, Desantniki, Lavochkin-5, Lavochkin-7, Ilyushin-10, Ilyushin-2, Petlyakov-2, Petlyakov-2R, Petlyakov-3, T-34 85, T-70, T-60, BA-10, BA-64, Yakovlev-1, Yakovlev-3, Yakovlev-7, Yakovlev-9 and all its variants (same illustration), BT-7 and BT-5, KV-1, KV-2, T-26, I-16 Polikarpov.

Will try to revamp as much tomorrow. I should be able to do more, I woke up really late today (12) lol.

Hope you will enjoy the revamp of the units ! Honestly, I'm stoked, I love the new way I came up with to make them.

Cheers !

I am working onto soviet units now that need a revamp too.
