After the “Garand” and “Gewehr” updates, we are very proud to release the “Panzerfaust Update”, and there are many reasons to be excited about it. This Update is truly massive, touching hundreds of game elements, bringing the game to its highest level. NOTE: Before proceeding to download the update and to the changelog below, there are three important things to notice. 1) The first is that all the changes and updates previously released for World at War are now in place for War in Europe as Well. This has been a major effort and we’d like to thank the developer for the constant great support on the game. 2) Previously saved games against the AI or in Hotseat will not be compatible with the Panzerfaust Update. Do not update until you have completed your games in progress. 3) The third important element to know is about PBEM. With the Panzerfaust Update current PBEM matches won’t be compatible with the latest version so, if you have important battles going on, our advice is to not update until you have completed the session. You’ll have 3 months to play your multiplayer session after which we would turn off PBEM support for older versions. If you are playing a Steam version, the update to the latest version is automatic, however if you prefer to continue playing for now with the older v1.15.02 version, you can downgrade via the beta branch and you’ll be able to keep playing you sessions in there. To downgrade, simply right click on the game in your Steam library, click on Properties->Beta and then select the applicable legacy version in the Beta dropdown list. But let’s not waste any time further and jump straight into the Panzerfaust Update! You can check the full changelog hereStrategic Command v1.15 Update is available!Aug 28, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsStrategic Command WWII: War in Europe has been updated to version 1.15! - fixed a PBEM++ game error that would sometimes record the wrong winner once the game was over. - fixed a HQ linking issue whereby HQs that were linked and had their regular supply increased while their distribution supply value remain unchanged, will now be able to link to another HQ even though they had their regular supply increased from 3 or 4 to 5. - fixed a combat experience issue where ground or naval units that caused the shattering of a defender did not collect any experience for doing so. - fixed a UNIT script error that had AI events firing incorrectly during AI games and when players had switched sides mid game. - fixed a PURCHASE UNIT error that did not set recently purchased naval units to arrive at a supply value of 10. - fixed a rare close playing sound error that would lead to a CTD. - fixed a unit movement error that would sometimes not reveal the proper fog of war for adjacent units, i.e. Partial reveal instead of Full. - fixed an ADD_UNIT= 2 flag error for PARTISAN events - Amphibious Transports are no longer able to move 1 AP when embarking unless they have achieved at least Amphibious Warfare Level-1. - +/- 1 combat results modifier will now only apply to units that have an attack/defend value > 0, e.g a naval unit attacks land units with an attack value of 0, so defending land units will now no longer have the +/- 1 combat results modifier applied. - +/- 1 combat results modifier will no longer be applied to defender losses if the calculated defender losses would be greater than the remaining defender unit strength, i.e. unit will be beyond destroyed. - unit count totals in the Reports screen will now include units in a naval loop.Strategic Command 1.14 Update Available!Jun 27, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsHi Everyone!

We hope you enjoy!Strategic Command 1.13 UpdateJun 1, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsThis update brings in lots of amendments to the campaigns, as well as a number of fixes. Please see the changelog below for the full list of changes. -Fixed an exploit where if you turned on/off Weather it would re-apply maximum AP to any partially moved units. -Fixed a RESOURCE strength calculation error that should have seen strength reduced when 2 enemy adjacent units were present. This did not happen if a player set a friendly MAJOR country to be controlled by the AI. -Fixed a DECISION firing event error that did not see some end of the turn DECISIONS fire when a country was surrendering. -Fixed a Submarine diving error that could possibly have the Sub dive off the accessible area of the map. -Fixed a PBEM++ replay error that would sometimes show the wrong weather during the replay. -Fixed an additional port control bug where there are multiple ports adjacent to a town/city and one port could switch over to the same control of the town/city but wasn't at the end of a turn. -Fixed a rare CTD when moving or attempting to move units at the very top of the screen and under the strategic menu buttons located in the top middle of the screen. -Fixed a sub diving display error that showed the new location of the sub prior to it diving when playing against the AI and during the AI turn. -Fixed an AI Transport unit error that had the AI unloading Transports from Ports at strength 5, Italy 3 -> 2. -Medium Bomber Build Limited increased: USA, USSR and Germany 3 -> 4, Italy 1 -> 2. -The USSR now starts with 1 chit invested in Anti-Tank Weapons in the 1939 campaign, and level 1 in the 1940 campaign. -The cost of Diplomacy against a Major Power has been increased from 150 to 175 MPPs. -MOBILIZATION_1 scripts amended to severely increase the penalties for an Axis declaration of war against Algeria: Vichy France, Tunisia and Syria will now swing 40-55% towards the Allies (it was previously 10-15% for the first two, and 20-35% for Syria). -Additionally, a new MOBILIZATION_1 script has been added so that the USA will now swing 8-15% towards the Allies if the Axis declare war on Algeria. -MOBILIZATION_1 script amended so that an Axis declaration of war against Yugoslavia will now swing Greece 30-45% towards the Allies (it was previously 10-15%). -Pro-Allied Algerian UNIT script amended for when they join the Allies so that their Corps will deploy at strength 5 rather than 3. -Spain must now have a pro-Axis leaning of 60% for DE 603 to fire. -English and French language 1939 and 1940 campaigns corrected to ensure that the Half Strength Fighter arriving in the UK's Production Queue in August 1940 arrives with no research. -Country ID corrected to Greece in the STRENGTH scripts #NAME= Greek Morale Is Boosted By The Presence Of British Troops In Greece, #NAME= Greek Morale Is Boosted By The Presence Of British Or US Troops In Greece -In the Mobilization_1 scripts entitled #NAME= Axis DoW on Yugoslavia (Greece->Allies), #CONDITION= 120 changed to #CONDITION= 120 . -C...Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe v1.12.02 Beta availableApr 18, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsWe have a new Beta update for Strategic Command WWII War in Europe If you would like to try the patch you will need to access the beta branch To do this - * Find the game in your steam library * Right click on it and select properties * Go to the betas tab * From the drop down select the "beta - openbeta" option * An update (BuildID: 2695519) will queue and once ready you can run the beta *Go to the local files tab and 'Verify integrity of game files' To return to your normal version * Repeat the process but select the "Opt out of Betas" option on the drop down menu v1.12.02 changelog -Fixed a Submarine diving error that could possibly have the Sub dive off the accessible area of the map. -Fixed a PBEM++ replay error that would sometimes show the wrong weather during the replay. -A major power that is not yet at 100% mobilization will no longer have its research levels apply to the catch up bonus if applicable. -Fighters and Carriers in Fighter mode will now have their escorts reduced by 1 point when performing a recon or any other fighter sweep.
