Moscow '42 1.01 Released

[Strela]

David, did you have the chance to look at the couple of small OOB oddities/possible errors I PM'ed you about in April?

The note regarding the Soviet HQ's is also slightly misleading, as all D morale HQ's were upgraded, but the B morale HQ's were not downgraded.

Pieter,

I did take into account your comments. Firstly, I believe the various battalions in 78th Infanterie Division balance themselves out. There is a fair bit of variation between sources on the timing of the disbanding of various formations and I believe I have got pretty close to the right number of battalions even if the numbering maybe inconsistent with some documents. To change battalions now would impact a significant number of scenarios for only aesthetic reasons. There is no impact on play currently.

As far as the Nikitskoye ploy in the grand campaign, I decided not to change anything there. The Germans are very low on supply in the 2nd Panzergruppe sector and will wake up the opposing forces if they advance to encircle the Soviets. As you pointed out, it is a very gamey tactic and one only a player who wanted to really risk 18th Panzer Division would do.

I will mention that one player has reported that 249th Rifle Division has the wrong command range (40 instead of 8). As is always the way this was reported the day after we released the patch :) and will be corrected next time around. I will probably start a new update thread in the sticky above to provide interim fixes.

David
