So soon the veil of mystery will be lifted and some more information will then be forthcoming. <\/p>\n<p>I have mostly been working on this game, but also finished 2 new public beta versions. Both are now downloadable from Matrix Games. <\/p>\n<p>First of all <a href=\"http:\/\/www.matrixgames.com\/forums\/tm.asp?m=3340459\">Decisive Campaigns v1.06<\/a> which brings a big balancing improvement for long running games. The problem that a number of German players encountered was that at a certain point their offensive would come to an hold but their high command kept considering the player on the offensive because the Soviets were not making gains. In v1.06 failing to attain high command orders will result in high command taking a less offensive posture and eventually going to a defensive mindset. The Soviet high command will on the other hand become more offensive minded as its player keeps succeeding in holding their defensive objectives. Also 2 hardcore variants are added to the campaign scenarios (hardcore recon and constrained oil), the historical reinforcement schedule especially for SS in 1943 has been improved and a number of other small finetunings have been made. Last but not least quite an improvement has been made to the offensive AI and it should finish off encircled troops more aggresively now.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.matrixgames.com\/forums\/tm.asp?m=3340472\">Advanced Tactics v2.15<\/a> which brings quite a number of fixes and finetunings, but also some considerable AI improvements. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.smallgeneralfull&#038;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zbWFsbGdlbmVyYWxmdWxsIl0.\">Small General<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.sgeasternfrontfull&#038;feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNnZWFzdGVybmZyb250ZnVsbCJd\">Small General : Eastern Front <\/a>have been updated as well.<\/p>\n<p>Some progress has also been made with DC3. But nothing new to report on this front for now. <\/p>\n<p>Kind regards and happy wargaming!<\/p>\n<p>Vic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a bit late with this report, but I do have some news!
