Hello everyone,
Just a quick update to keep everyone informed of progress. With the Release of Patch 9 for Release 7, I decided to focus on the next full release of CFCS; Release 8 (Heinrich).
Now, what separates this from previous releases? Well the inevitable bug fixes, tweaks here and there. Nothing much worth mentioning there (although I have finally solved the Main Menu issues, so all buttons now work as they should). However, there is more;
- New Random Maps for Jungle Chapters (Singapore, Burma, New Guinea in the Commonwealth Campaign. The Philippines, Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Okinawa for the US Campaign. Okinawa is now a separate chapter to Iwo Jima.)
- New "prologue" chapter for the Commonwealth Campaign. "Poland 1939: First to Fight". This means the player can experience the invasion of Poland from all three perspectives (Polish, German and Soviet)
- Additional units for above chapters (mostly aircraft)
- Completely reworked campaign scripts (which units you get, when) for the Commonwealth and US Campaigns. Better represents historical progression and more evenly spread in terms of new units being introduced.
I cannot give a timescale at this point for R8 being completed and released. I am in final bug testing for the US Campaign so, it hopefully will be some time in the next few weeks.
