Armoured Commander II News

A preview of the upcoming major update 7.0 is now available for all players to test out. To enable it, open the game's properties, click on the "Betas" tab, and select the 7.0_preview branch from the drop-down menu.

Please note! - this branch is only for testing, and you will not be able to continue campaigns started on this branch after the full 7.0 update goes live. The update has been tested and debugged over the past couple weeks but there might be a few lingering issues, so if you do test it out and find something wrong, please do let me know on the discussion board.

A minor update today with one new campaign and a few changes and fixes:

[h2]Changelog for 6.1.3[/h2]

ADD: Barbarossa to Moscow (Soviet Union) campaign
ADD: Ineffective firepower attacks (including missed HE shots) now have a small chance in increasing chance that target is spotted next turn, as if they had been hit by firepower
ADD: Bail-out command to attempt to bail out through a hatch in the other location (turret/hull) from the crewman's position
FIX: Displayed value for player unit VP modifier was sometimes 1% off the actual value
FIX: Bug in firepower resolution where destroy odds for small teams could be > 100%

A small but important fix today:

[h2]Changelog for 6.1.2[/h2]

FIX: Added missing driver hatches for German tank destroyers and assault guns including Marders

A small update today to fix some bugs in the most recent medium-sized update:

[h2]Changelog for 6.1.1[/h2]

CNG: Player unit VP modifier now displayed as a percentage change in tank selection menu
FIX: Enabled movement sound effect for Tank Destroyers
FIX: Loader hatch incorrectly included on the Sherman V
FIX: Added HE ammo to the Churchill IV for late-war

A medium-sized update today, it doesn't break saved game compatibility, but there's a ton of new content that's now been added. Most important are a pair of new late-war campaigns that allow you to fight on the Western Front on either the British or German side, between June 1944 and March 1945. A number of new tank models are also now available to the player, including Churchills, Cromwells, Panthers, and Tigers, and will also appear as enemy units where appropriate. The two existing late-war campaigns have also been updated with lots of new enemy units and a few more player choices. With this update, the game now has 254 unit types.

Any bugs or crashes, please report them in the discussion boards. Changelog follows:
