The ZIP attached has a few files revised since the DF85 release. These files will be part of the first DF85 patch which will happen sometime in the future - there is no sceduled date - it depends upon any number of factors.
The zip contains some previously revised SCN files where I cleaned up a few impassible hexes which were scattered around the map.
It also includes a revised OOB which removes the now famous TIS capability from the T-80.
FWIW, it seems like this flag on the T-80 was something that came with FG-85, and that I carriered forward to NGP-85. With DF 85 we completely redid the OOB, revised many values as well as OOB components and unit structure. This TIS thing however never came up.
In discussion with Ed, Marc and few others it seems the forum input in the thread below is correct and so we've made the change. We also reconginize that as DF85 is a brand new game and guys may be playing it more freqently over the holidays, that even though a program patch isn't required at this time, it s in the best interest of the gaming community to have the most correct files.
