Gents,



The new Waterloo (1.02) and Wagram (1.06) patches are now on the HPS site:



Changes for Campaign Waterloo 1.02
- Implemented a minimum bridge strength requirement for crossing a damaged bridge of 50, 100, and 150 for infantry (and leaders), cavalry, and artillery (and supply wagons) respectively. See the section on Movement in the Users Manual.
- Put cavalry charge factor in parameter data.
- Put cavalry charge multiple in parameter data.
- Put disordered movement fraction in parameter data (now at 2/3).
- Added the ability to define a unit as "Has Boats" which allows the unit to enter water hexes.
- Added option to prevent defender elimination when there is no valid retreat after melee.

Also tweaked the PDT file to reduce the about face costs, to help defenders fight a delaying action.

All in all the changes should help the defense quite a bit, which has been lacking. The new rule listed at the bottom, No Melee Elimination, is a big change.

Please refresh my memory.

I am currently playing a scenario of Campaign Waterloo. If I download the patch will it effect our game??

Thanks,

You should be fine...there were now changes to the weather entires in the PDT file, which caused a problem with the 1.01 patch.

The other changes will take effect immediately, except for the optional rules, you will have to select those when you start a new game.

Rich,
Thanks for the info, it will be interesting to see if the defence now has a better chance against "blitzkrieg tactics" :)

The boards are slow for everyone, it is a server problem

Did the Waterloo patch fix the problem of certain Prussian skirmishers, once disrupted, being unable to rally?

It fixed them not being able to rally, but missed them not returning to good order...so an "a" patch will be issued in the near future, along with the rest of the patches for the series.
