We've just released another update for 1775: Rebellion which includes the following improvements and fixes:
Added a new reference section to the manual which includes a list of the dice faces for each of the factions and also a complete card library.
Improved map zoom with the mouse wheel so it should work regardless of what the mouse cursor is over.
Fixed an issue with the victory achievements not triggering correctly.
Fixed and issue with one of the land connections between Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Fixed an issue with game stats not being loaded correctly from saved games and in multiplayer (ie. the amount of cards played, battles won etc.)
Fixed and issue whereby joystick input could cause the map to keep scrolling incorrectly.
Volume sliders take effect as they are moved rather than when the settings are saved.
All sounds effects should now be controlled correctly by the effects volume in the settings menu (including the muskets sounds on the title screen!)
In future updates, we are planning to release a Linux version of the game and also make further improvements to the AI as well as fix any other issues that come up of course!
We hope you all enjoy the game :)

Update v1.02
We've just released the first patch for the game which includes the following improvements & fixes:
Added new 'AI Camera' option in the main settings menu. This allows you select how much the camera will zoom in to the map areas during the AI turn and has an option for both no zoom (ie. the camera will just pan) and also a static camera.
Increased the amount of time that the cards the AI is using is shown. It is also possible to click the card to skip it.
Fixed an issue on the Quebec scenario whereby the AI could place incorrect reinforcements.
We hope you are all enjoying the game and please keep the great feedback coming on the forum!
