Armoured Commander II News

We've done quite a few Community Challenges on the Discord, but this is the first time that we're going to try a real-time campaign challenge, playing through either the Poland or September Campaign over the next five weeks or so.

Community Challenges are an opportunity to play through a campaign and compare your fate with that of other players, and to see where your final score ends up on the leaderboard.

Please join our Discord server for more details and to join our community there!

ADD: New units from YARD and cjprince - a collection of additions from two prolific modders, adding new units and minor changes to some existing units
FIX: Keyboard command not working in Crew Aswsignment menu

This is an exciting update since it adds the first controller support to the game - I still want to add a few more Quality of Life features to help support this, but at least the game should be easier to run on the Steam Deck! Full changelog follows:



ADD: Game controller support
ADD: New tutorial slide regarding game controller input

CNG: Config file now stored in user directory
CNG: Increased minimum Unbog chance

FIX: Crash in Unit Gallery when no units meet filters and Campaign Roster is selected

Just a minor hotfix to address a crash, and to add a sanity check to the filtered list in the unit gallery when no unit types are being displayed.

ADD: Weapon definitions can now include a special_ammo_regional tag: a dictionary of regions, ammo types, and rarity calendars; any ammo type found within the region of the current campaign will override the standard rarity calendar for that ammo type
ADD: Check to make sure that game has write permissions in its own directory - if not, an error message is displayed and the game closes to avoid a crash
ADD: Sanity check to avoid a crash when a non infantry/cavalry unit has its facing set to None

CNG: M3A1 Stuart now has C in South Pacific campaigns from August 12, 1942 onward
