Added skirmish-style pricing for War Paths as a starting option: "Individual" is skirmish-like, "Class-based" is operations-style prices

Added patrols for Recon-in-Force and Raid missions: some of the deployed enemy platoons will switch to patrolling behaviour

Adjusted the way Recon-in-Force and Raid mission reduce the maximum number of units in a platoon: Recon, Recon Helicopters, Armored Cavalry, and Mechanized infantry platoons with stealth rating will deploy at their normal strength

Adjusted Alt+Move to work with transport helicopters - a move ordered in such a way will also unload the helicopters at the destination point, similar to how Alt+Move works for mechanized infantry

Added enemy national icon to the Courses of Action menu

Added enemy information on the War Paths results screen

Adjusted the frequency of the 'smaller' nations encountered during War Paths

1.0.99aG (2024-02-14)

If you consistently crash on a specific Operation, map or unit after the update - try re-verifying the files: click on the "More" button besides Play on the Galaxy client -> Manage Installation -> Verify / Repair
Update 1.0.99

Added new Polish regiment - 36. Pułk Zmechanizowany, focusing on motorized maneuver tactics with SKOT APCs

Added a preview of the Task Forces available for the selected Regiment in Skirmish (hover over the [?] sign to the right of the regiment selection dropdown)

Added a platoon tooltip for preplaced strongpoints

Added an option for an alternative color correction profile in the video settings - with more contrast and saturation

Regipedia now displays whether a unit has smoke launchers or not

Added Polish Assault Engineers armed with RPO Rys

Added BMD-2K - it replaces BMP-1PK in 35th Sep Guards Air Assault Brigade

Added Faktoria ATGM for Soviets

Replaced quite a few SPG-9 weapon teams with Spigot and Faktoriya ATGMs

Multiple Warsaw Pact and Belgian task forces adjusted

HMGs adjusted: accuracy reduced, KPVT damage reduced to match the caliber

1.0.98cG (2023-12-26)

Added a new DDR Task Force "Kerze" with a company of BMP-1s: it bumps East German KdA Regiment to the correct amount of TFs and also replaces one of the overused Task Forces in MSR 9

Added US M113-TOW Self-Propelled ATGM (currently uses Canadian extra equipment, will be adjusted later)

Added AIFV-Milan (it was in Regipedia, but wasn't present anywhere). According to the research, it seems to have been used in a light tank-destroyer role, so that's the way it is represented

AIFV-Milan replaced platoons in TFs "Leer" and "Pistool"

Revised US 4-4th ID: removed M577 & Rally TA, downgraded ITV to M113-TOW, M3A2 to M3 - this brings it more in line with the amount of deployment points and capabilities other Regiments can deploy at the start

Revised Belgian 17th Panzer: removed Recce+Milan platoon on Spartan. Same reasoning as above

Standartized the naming of platoons with dedicated MANPADS

West German taskforces "Antwort" and "Sonne" received a new TacAid - an F-4 airstrike with 4xCluster bombs

FV102 set to use Thermals (which should've arrived by 1989), FV438 downgraded to Basic night vision

Heavy machine guns (12.7mm and above) received increased damage and range, medium machine guns (7.62mm) received 1 AP; low-AP penetration tables were revised so that lightly armored units don't take an eternity to destroy with machinegun fire

Assault engineer squads were reduced to 6 soldiers per squad and standartized to use "worse" LAWs where applicable, so they aren't a solution to every problem

LAW stats were revised to be slightly more in-line with reality: generally minor, with the exception of Carl Gustav going from 22 to 19 AP

Slightly buffed cluster bomb damage; reduced 2xBomb TA price to 30 pts

US HMMWV and M109A3 models now feature randomized clutter

West German vehicle models received authentic decals with the identification plates and weight class indicators. It is an exploratory feature to check the workflow - there's no certainty if all nations will receive something like that

Fixed inconsistencies with AIFV-B series scale

Regipedia unit list made more readable

Post-battle screen will now display map or stage name. In Skirmish, it will also display the player's Regiment name

Company label now lists the total amount of soldiers in company, not just the leader platoon (status panel can still be used to check per-platoon counts)

Last stage of the first Operation can now end early properly if you capture all the VP objectives

Fixed a bug that limited the rate of fire in big platoons

Fixed a bug that prevented mechanized infantry platoons from closing to LAW range under Attack or Attack Move command

Fixed AI not dismounting MANPADS platoons until very close to target

Minor tweaks to the projectile hit effects

Fixed cases where AI wasn't using some specific Air and Artillery Strike TacAids

Credits button has been moved to the left bottom corner of the menu
1.0.97cG (2023-09-25)Update 1.0.97

Despite being an update about fixing things, most fixes required significant rewrites, so expect hotfixes.

Added new main menu music theme

Added Czech localization

Added proposed fixes to Italian localization

Replaced BTR-70 with BTR-60 in 120th Guards MRR for authenticity

US TFs almost completely lacked M2A2 as an option: adjusted 2 TFs to include them instead of redundant options

Added a separate icon and decal for the Belgian 4th Pantser Infantry Brigade

Engineering tanks received a minor buff so that a platoon of 3 tanks is equivalent in breaching ability to a platoon of 4 assault engineer squads. M728 CEV and AVRE also made a bit cheaper.

Platoon panel now has a small red blinking dot near icons of the platoons that are in combat

You can now see which targets platoons are engaging when holding SHIFT

Bomb and PGM strikes should now actually ignore helicopters as valid targets

Fixed instances where AI Artillery won't displace after salvo

Fixed AI Artillery idling when there are no same-AI groups to support

Added basic fixes against AI overcrowding in spawn areas

Adjusted Operation "TF McMains" starting resources to be less stingy

Fixed (hopefully for certain this time) cases where a platoon will move through impassable terrain (typically, lake)

Added M109A3GA1 to West German forces, replacing outdated M109G in brigades and task forces where it makes most sense

Added G3A2 with wooden furniture to Heimatschutzen squads
