Hi,
decided to look at a couple of problems caused by overlapping deployment zones at Bayeux. And while the files were open, tweaked a few other things. Talked with Steiner about some of this ... and as usual, appreciate his input
new for version 8.0
- Battle Group details information document and updated Stratmap connection image, located in:
C:\Matrix Games\Close Combat Last Stand Arnhem\GoldJunoSword\DATA\Help
Important note:
As the player controlling the German side, be mindful of when and where your new Battle Groups arrive.
If two BG's are occupying a map when a new BG is trying to arrive there ... then the arriving BG will not be able to enter the Strategic map,
and all its units will be lost. Therefore, its best to pre- plan BG's movements with this in mind.
Maps/Strategic Map:
- Bayeux to Rauray Strategic map connection removed
- Bayeux to Magny Strategic map connection removed
- Bayeux map: Tilly entry/exit VL moved further away from Lingevres VL.
- Bayeux map: Creully entry/exit VL moved further away from Thaon VL.
- Bavent map: moved Merville entry/exit VL to create a larger deployment area
Vehicles/Weapons:
- M-10 Turret changed back to rotate, but not as slow as GJS 6.0
- M-10 Turret MG rotates 360 degrees, as in version 7.3
- Bren: increased Kill Rating small amount
- Bren ammo increase to 588 (from 420)
- Vickers ammo increased to 1750 (from 1500)
Allied Teams:
- Piat teams: Canadian Piat team equipped with 2 Piats and 2 crew, other Piat teams are now three man
- AB Bren Group increased to four man team
Support:
- Air Support for Allies back in game
Static Battle Group's:
-German Static BG's at Creully, Thaon, and Hermanville removed
Battle Groups:
-26/12 SS, I./12/12 SS BG's now have a reinforcement schedule, in order to simulate delayed arrival of some Panthers.
- KG Meyer 352 Div: turn 3 reinforcement removed
- 22nd Brigade/7th Div gets one reinforcement
- 1st Special Service Brigade gets armour reinforcement
- II./22/21 Div changed to Armored Infantry
Campaign text option:
# Recycle Disbanded BGs (0 = Never come back, 1 = Return next day)
Enabled option for BG's to recycle back (Return next day) to Strategic map after disbandement.
This option currently only works for BG's starting on a major supply depot,
at the edge of the strategic map. Therefore two Allied minor depots are changed to major,
which allows all Allied BG's (except AB) to take advantage of this option.
German BG's dont start on major depots (at strat map edge) ... and therefore won't recycle back
when disbanded, instead units will be obsorbed into other BG's.
Elememts:
- less chance of immobilization on Small Hedge and Stone Wall
- Tall Wall: Vehicles can not enter this terrain

Steiner noticed that some Strategic Map arrows are misaligned in ver 8.0
Guess I goofed something up when trying to remove the StratMap arrows ... for connections between Bayeux - Rauray and Bayeux - Magny. Those connections were purposely taken out of the game.
After checking a few things ... it seems the alignment problem can be corrected by using the original GJS 6.0 "StratMap.txt file".
Removing the ver 8.0 "StratMap.txt file" and replacing it with the original version 6.0 file corrects the arrows alignment issue. But when pushing the space bar in Strat map view ... the arrows still show for connections between Bayeux - Rauray and Bayeux - Magny.
But when moving BG's on the Strategic map ... the game won't let you move at those connection points and it also doesn't display a move arrow for those two routes.
So the mechanics of the game work fine ... just a minor graphic thing where you see those two connections when pushing the space bar, but they aren't really active connections.
So, that seems to be an ok fix for the arrows
I'll put a link to the file here: right click the StratMap.txt file and select "save link as"
