  Also, Cavalry is more resistant to movement threat disorder. The target hex threat value is halved.

  adjacent to own units.

  until within 3 hexes and in LOS.

Boy, there is alot offered in that update and alot of new stuff, too!



Great to see one of my all-time favorite JTS titles getting some love!  


Thanks Rich.

Good updates,
however
'Adjusted viewing, LOS is now only viewable from occupied hexes under FOW.'
From my point of view,that's a little inconvenient.

Wow! That's an amazing list and it'll take a lot of getting used to I think. Really great!

I like the LoS only viewable from occupied hexes. It encourages scouting to examine the terrain. Napoleon didn't have Google maps.

Nice, lots of good stuff there, I really like the idea of possible artillery disruption.

Any idea which title might up next for this treatment? ( hopefully one that I own haha) Cheers!

Once we're confident the update is solid, we'll be updating the entire series in short order... so before the holidays I would expect you to be able to play any game at this same version.

Excellent to see the Nappy series get this kind of attention. Night fatigue is a very welcome addition.

I'll be interested to see whether the modifications to Move Threat Disorder make it more playable - following the adverse commentary here and elsewhere, I've avoided using it.

Thanks!

There was a problem with the replay function, so a change was needed...grab the new update off the site:
