Hi,

apart from a couple of new maps what has improved in the Meuse 3.3 version?

Anyone have the readme without me having to download?

I have a very old version of Meuse from literally years ago. So what have I missed. Again as my internet connection has been ramped back to 56k speeds until next month I am looking to choose my downloads carefully.

I am currently downloading Karelia hoping that this is a good mod although I know nothing about the Russian offensive against the Finns in 1944

"5) Added Entry VL's to any map that has reserves appear and a entry VL was not defined (v3.2a changed Entry VL's to 50 points)"

this is an extract from the meuse site change readmes. I did not know that CC supported reserves coming onto the map? Does this happen in some mods now. If so awesome feature for when you are flanking on the strat map it actually means you get flanking units in the tactical battle screen.

Please confirm?

Also do the reserves come from the right direction onto the map that they were facing on the strat map?

simply put it is worth downloading!

Destraex,

CC5 does not support reserves entering on a map during a battle. But BG's that reform or are scheduled to arrive later on maps need an entry VL defined on their entry map. If there is none the computer will randomly select an entry location for the arriving BG, sometimes creating an unrealistic battle because of the wrong starting troop locations.
