Total Tank Generals

Total Tank Generals Update 1.3 Patch Notes: 22nd June 2023

• Available separately from the Rommel Campaign
  
• 10x scenarios with new Medals and Achievements
  
• This campaign is designed to be more challenging than the Rommel Campaign. Battles that appear in both campaigns have been reworked and utilize several new elements that we’ve added in this and the previous update - such as new objectives, events, and AI improvements.
  
• Scenario list: Battle of Arras (1940), Siege of Lille (1940), Operation Skorpion (1941), Operation Crusader (1941), 2nd Battle of Tobruk (1942), Battle of Mersa Matruh (1942), 1st Battle of El-Alamein (1942), 2nd Battle of El-Alamein (1942), Battle of Kasserine Pass (1943), Battle for Caen (1944)

• Capture all Major Strategic Points and eliminate a number of enemies in some number of turns.
  
• Eliminate a number of enemies in some number of turns.
  

• Defeat conditions can now be combined in a way that suits any specific scenario, instead of always checking the three default ones (first three conditions on this list). This allows for creating defensive Scenarios where reaching the turn limit is not synonymous with Defeat.
  
• Defeat due to reaching the Turn Limit.
  
• Defeat due to losing all units.
  
• Defeat due to losing all Major Strategic Points.
  
• Defeat due to enemy Capturing a specific Strategic Point from the Player.

• Fixed an issue where the “Ammo resupply” perk gave twice the intended amount of ammo.
  
• Fixed an issue where the “Counter battery” perk would have had no effect most of the time.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Anti Air “Anti-tank overwatch” provided its bonus against all targets, to all units on Hex, and only if the owner was not in Overwatch.
  
• Fixed an issue where the AI was not resupplying units that were out of morale.
