Version 1.5 coming up for April 25th

On next April 25th, our game will be ported to version 1.5 of the engine. In addition to minor content changes and fixes, this version - already in place on most of our recent titles - will offer a much better gameplay experience to players.

In short (details published on April 25), what will apply to Afrika Korps:

NEW

• Battle view: Battle location highlighted on the map for easier recognition.

• Battle List: the participants appear in a popup over the battle location name in the window, allowing examination of the units involved on both sides, quite useful to make later use of battle cards, among other advantages

• Ergonomics: WASD keys to move the map (is QZSD on Azerty keyboard)

• Information: more detailed Terrain info now provided in region windows, dynamically calculated from map conditions.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Movement: Right click move on stack with immobilized units will select only the units that can move (no longer need to split them out of the stack to activate a move)

• AddedCombatcombat bonus are capped at -4/+4 (all modifiers of all kinds added)

• Morale boosters are capped (+4)

• Morale can not exceed 9 (this is max cap, all modifiers from all kinds added)

• AdjustedFoWreconnaissance cards can only view units not under fog of war now (but may be changed by specific scenario rules), so you no longer see or select yellow spots not visible normally.

WARNING Windows 10+ only: engine in version 1.5 only works on Windows 10 or higher. If you are still using an older version of Windows, don’t allow the update, lest you can no longer play the game.
