Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace.

Patch 3.0 - D-Day Anniversary, two more missions!
Patch v3.0
Operation Overlord, or D-Day launched 76 years ago on the windy morning of June 6, 1944. To mark that momentous occasion, we've got some brand new content for you! Two new free campaign levels (each with new historical documents!) and variety of bug fixes. Why not mark the anniversary of the beginning of Europes liberation by recreating the event yourself, digitally?
MAJOR
- NEW Melfa Pursuit mission (Italy). You are to pursue fleeing German units after penetrating the Hitler Line in Italy. Using scouts and snipers, avoid enemies and guide your small force to the rear poisition of Ceprano to dig in to prevent enemies from escaping.
- NEW Le Mesnils-Patry mission (France). After losing ground in the Juno Beach Counterattack in France, you are ordered once again to advance and retake lost ground. Prepare for an all-out brawl, with both sides fielding heavy armour and large numbers over a small area. This bloody battle was plagued with poor communication, and as such you will be working with an AI teammate in your assault.
Both missions come with new historical photos, video and other documents. Check them out!
MINOR
- Added Free-play and Challenge mode to Dieppe Revisited mission
- Increased tank health 25%, morale by 20%, tanks now move in squadrons of 6
- Added viewable barrage range stat for Artillery and Anti-tank guns
- Fixed artillery sometimes incorrectly reporting amount of barrages left
- Added voice line right after artillery fires about running out of ammo
- Various bug fixes with threading
- Moved briefing, log and field manual aside when playing very wide maps
- Added another video and newspaper article to Ortona historical documents about Victoria Cross recipient

WHAT NEXT?
This is our second big free content update. Where do you want to see the game go next? Let us know in the steam discussion forums, or on our discord.
Patch v2.01 - bug fixes
Minor
- Potentially fixed units not moving bug
- Fixed challenge mode Achievements not always unlocking (selecting any campaign will give them to you if they were missing)
- Fixed Turkish 'I' character not rendering properly
- Fixed weapon occasionally profiles not properly loading
- Fixed wrong voice actor being occasionally used
- Fixed Gunnery Drills perk not having effect priority
Free content update: CHALLENGE mode unlocked & voice commands for Linux!
Patch v2.0 - CHALLENGE MODE & voice commands now available for Linux!
Hitler died 75 years ago to this day (April 30, 1945), so it's a fitting time to launch our first major free content update. Whether you're a green recruit or a grizzled veteran, there's never been another time to begin (another) tour of duty!
CHALLENGE MODE
We've added a new challenge mode option to all missions to up the difficulty (not for the faint of heart!). Instead of simply increasing enemy damage by 30% like most games, each scenario has a unique and hand-crafted difficulty added to it. For example, in Leonforte the enemy now has artillery, and the towns have additional fortifications. For the Hitler Line, expect a new fierce armoured counter-attack when you breach their line is breached! Beat all of of the missions in challenge mode to unlock a new steam achievement!
VOICE COMMANDS HAVE COME TO LINUX!
Let us know how it works for you!
SPEECH RECOGNITION IMPROVEMENTS
Your voice is more powerful than ever! Thanks to everyone who donated their voice data, speech recognition performance has been improved for both US and UK speech models all across the board (but most specifically for problem terms "HOW", "JULIETT" and "FIRE BARRAGE AT").
Major
- Hand-crafted CHALLENGE MODE difficulty option for all missions
- Voice commands now available for Linux!
- Speech recognition performance improved thanks to user-donated speech data! (specifically "HOW", "JULIETT" and "FIRE BARRAGE AT")
- Added 'Retry' button to pause menu
Map Editor
- Made it so you can't save maps without entering a filename
- Fixed error saving map editor maps without administrator access
Balance
- Hitler Line: topmost enemy infantry replaced with AT-gun, added foxholes to towns themselves, altered nothern road
- Operation TONGA: added extra tank squadron to enemy counter-attack, made existing enemy tanks head to central town of Robehomme instead of stopping in Varaville, switched all units to dynamic AI for counter-attack
- Made AI tanks less content to garrison objectives (they'd rather attack)
- Minefields are now cleared if they deal a certain amount of damage (the enemy's triggered most of the mines)
- Falaise Gap: added road in south east of map
Minor
- Made AI counter-attacks use more available units (as opposed to only using the minimum required)
- Enlarged map compass text directions
- Removed unnecessary free-play option for tutorials
- Made units retreating out of mission from reaching objective landmark capture landmark before leaving
What's next? The next big free content update is scheduled for the anniversary of the D-Day landings (June 6th). Stay tuned!

Patch v1.06 - 'Move directly to' command, and map-editor features galor
Patch v1.06
A 'Move directly to' command, and map-editor features galore!
You asked, and we answered: you can now directly order your troops to walk in a straight-line. Fastest path? Pfft. WALK DIRECTLY OVER THAT MOUNTAIN. Useful for when the enemies guard the road, making the most efficient/fastest path too dangerous to take.
Reinforcements have arrived for the map editor! Behold more new features than you can shake stick at!
Major
- Added 'move directly to' command - this makes the unit move in as straight a line as possible (will still path around rivers). Want to walk DIRECTLY over that hill and through that forest? You got it!
Note: 'move directly to' not available for voice commands

- Increased font size of stats panel
- Added tooltip about speech models
- Improved localization of a few tooltips
- Fixed speech model setting not saving properly between plays
- Fixed microphone setting not saving properly between plays

- Fixed artillery mis-reporting actual number of barrages remaining
- Fixed Dieppe Revisited overview not appearing for French localization
Multiplayer

Map Editor
- Added notifications on uploading, saving and loading of maps
- Fixed clickable layer of objects (units on top, then landmarks, then terrain)
- Removed irrelevant landmark fields from certain landmarks (hid drawing landmark for landmarks where you can't do that)
- Fixed bug with foxholes/fortifications/bunkers being named for speech recognition
- Fixed units being freakishly slow moving uphill
- Retroactively fixed old maps with wonky colliders (i.e. roads, rivers, forests) - they should now work when loaded
- Fixed missing voice-lines when moving to non-objective airfield
Balance
- Increased tank minimum damage by 0.5, increased tank default defence by 5%
- Significantly increased effects of all tank veterancy perks (we want veterancy to feel more impactful)
- Increased effects of other veterancy perks
- Increased snipers minimum damage by 0.2 to make their damage very consistent
Localization
- Fixed certain random events not being localized properly ('we ran into a group of sheep!')
Multiplayer

Minor
- Unit stats panel automatically closes when mission ends
What's next? Localization improvements to map editor, and eventually 'straight-line' move command (I promise!)

Patch v1.04: You can help the war on speech recognition!
Again, from the last patch we suggest recreating your old map-editor maps from scratch. Previously placed roads, rivers and forests may be wonky.
If your old map doesn't load, please send them to michael@foolish-mortals.net

- Added animated loading screen to main menu (to make the long load time more bearable)

- Fixed bug with units retreating from battlefield still being reported around by other units (Ortona, TOTALIZE, Falaise Gap)
- Fixed red 2.4 text floating around after Ortona mission
- Added missing source file for photo
Balance:
- Ortona: removed enemy infantry near Torre Muccia (he kept running away like a coward), replaced one enemy infantry in old town with an infantry battalion
Localization:
- Improved choppy lost location reports
- Improved relative move orders
- Localized unit slots in unit management screen
What's next? Localization improvements, more map editor bug fixes and eventually 'straight-line' move command (I promise!)
