To add to Chad's post-- Rich recently posted an update candidate for Modern War

So far Gabeeg has had a look, anyone else out there that has the title and wants to lend a nahd - head over to tthe thread - there's a link there with the new update candidate file - please give him a hand and have a look.

(I should also add that I got involved with JTS through responding a test request thread a few years ago -so who knows where things can lead? ;)

We are currently looking over the RV update.

Currently it looks like these are some of the changes with the new update.

- Added Weapons Off option under View Menu to hide discarded weapons on the map.
- Added reliability 'X' for loads, weapons, and vehicles.
- Added Leader morale modification to assault morale (see Assaulting
in User Manual).
- Added Demoralize load effect which causes units to become
Demoralized or Disrupted (see Weapon Types in the User Manual).
- Changes that reduces protection and movement cost between adjacent
Trench hexes (see User Manual under Movement and Firing).
- Added Inspirational Weapons in addition to Motivational Weapons.
- Added option for Mouse Wheel Zoom.
- Added hot key 'F' in main program to toggle Hold Fire.

It looks like DBP may be next.

Come on guys. Now is the time to help get involved in helping make your favorite John Tiller games even better than they currently are.

The more help we can get in looking things over, the quicker we can get the updates released.

I concur with Chad, here. This is a great opportunity to get involved with the testing team as well as helping push these updates out quicker. This is the first time Rich has opened this up to the general public, and I think it's a great way to get the community involved.

Get on over there and test a few scenarios.
