However, if there is an Allied unit there that should later move out of Djibouti then French Somaliland will automatically accept the armistice unless France has been liberated, so it may be wise to keep one there. • Notes added to DE 105 explaining that saying yes means that Malaya will join the Allies. • Increased the chance of New Guinea joining the Allies as well as bringing forward the date of this being possible, so that the Allies will have a much better chance of getting a unit there before the Japanese. • Strategy Guides updated to mention that Japan can impede the flow of 30 MPPs reaching the USSR by placing naval units in the hexes adjacent to Vladivostok port (Pocus).

GAME ENGINE CHANGES - Fixed a Maritime Bomber error that did not take into account its ASW when attacking a sub (Mithrilotter). - Fixed a FoW error that would cause subs to disappear from the screen when they were in Silent mode and within a shroud lifted area after a friendly Carrier would move within spotting range but not adjacent to the sub (Mithrilloter). - Fixed a convoy path checking error that did not consider control of Land + Sea hexes when checking for proper convoy path validity (sschnar1). - Fixed a combat error that did not have friendly artillery return fire from an controlled Heavy Artillery attack if within range (Mithrilotter). - Fixed an enemy raider unit display error under fog of war if the raider unit was a Tactical or Medium bomber (Mithrilotter). - Fixed a port control switching error for when a country surrenders as it was switching under some rare conditions when it should not have been (Mithrilotter). - Fixed a supply map display error (from pressing the 'S' key in game) that showed an incorrect supply distribution value from HQs from nations above #COUNTRY_ID = 100, e.g. Sudan or similar (Mithrilotter). - Fixed an error that had naval units reduced to 1 AP when there would be ice on their current hex, but there was no ice visible on the map due to the 'Weather' option being disabled (Ken Schultz). - Fixed an error that had some countries lose their Primary and Secondary supply positions when their capitals had moved (MJY). - Fixed an error that did not properly boost an HQs supply, via HQ linking and boosting, in some rare cases when it should have otherwise been boosted. - Fixed an error that allowed armored trains or rail guns to be placed upon non rail hexes (PvtBenjamin). - Renamed Naval/Tactical mode for Carriers to Bombers (epekepe). - User saves versus the AI will now remember the last map position and center on that position when loading the save (John Fireheart). - HQ supply rules, plus boosting/linking rules recap: - HQ units, after amphibiously unloading, start at 10 supply and maintain supply for up to 5 turns with a drop of 2 supply points per turn.

Update 1.05.00 brings tons of improvements, from scenarios changes to the game engine and more! Click here to see the full CHANGELOG But that's not the only news! In fact, Five great Mods have been integrated within the base game, for free. These mods change the look of the counters, add new historical scenarios and special mechanics. Kudos to all the creators for this fantastic job! IRONX Graphics Mod, by Andrew Glenn Iron Cross is a major graphic overhaul of the game’s 2-D counters and map tiles and also incorporates some interface changes. The mod replaces many of the standard NATO symbols with custom silhouettes of weapon platforms accurate to the era that change as research advances. Similarly, the map has been completely reworked to produce a more classic board wargame look. Various interface changes have also been made, some of which are designed to help players better understand some of the game’s rules in relation to headquarters, air units and the costs of certain moves. Iron Cross gives the game a completely new look and feel while at the same time leaving the original gameplay unchanged. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34001510/db1212091d61636dc5154f7c7cad179d95b5d097.png High Res Counter Mod, by Christophe SIPRES Alternative 2D Counters with upgrades display for all Majors and Minors Historical colorized silhouettes for Vehicles, Aircrafts, Navies, Artillery's historical colorized portraits for Infantry's units Counters shaped system for better map identification All ground units are squared shaped (HQ round corners shaped) All air units are circle shaped All naval units are hexagon shaped 1944 Triumph and Tragedy, by Robert Carver This mod covers the global war from June 1944 onwards. The Allies are on the offensive in almost every theater. In the Philippine Sea the US Navy is facing the remnants of the Japanese fleet attempting to intervene in the American invasion of the Marianas. Elsewhere in the Pacific General MacArthur and the Allies are clearing New Guinea; and in Burma the Japanese attack on Kohima is falling apart, with the Indian Army poised for a decisive counter-attack. It is only in China that the Japanese are in a position to make some advances, but a Decision Event can reinforce the Japanese in China or alter this so more forces are sent to face the Americans in the Pacific. In Europe the second front has arrived. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34001510/d104974528a97419081e160b766ee93e926aac52.png 1941 Rostov, by Robert Carver This mod covers the German attack across the Dnieper and Donets rivers towards Rostov in the fall of 1941. The attack on Rostov is ordered by Berlin despite Army Group South’s depleted resources. In fact, additional German forces are diverted south into the Crimea. The Germans managed to occupy Rostov for a short while before a determined Russian counter-attack forced them to withdraw. In the mod you will notice the Russians start with ...Version v1.03.00 AvailableJun 26, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHi everybody, Strategic Command WWII: World at War has been updated to version 1.03.00, and its huge!
