Dave will provide the detailed changelist in due time, but the most important things to mention are: - major AI overhaul fixing a lot of issues like slipping attacks, HQs leading an attack etc, - network fix; - a number of minor things like scenario bugfixing, new Soviet splashscreen…

Overa…
Guys, within next few days (probably next week) we're going to update the BETA branch with a new build which will actually be the first release candidate for the next major patch. This new build will introduce a lot of changes into the AI, rendering obsolete all the saves/recordings you may have made so far with the current BETA, so be careful. Regular players not using BETA branch will not be…
Next patch will introduce certain new mechanics which we'd like to explain a little bit. The problem As all of you guys surely know, in Command Ops 2 you, a human player, can issue bombardment mission orders directly to artillery units. This feature itself is realistic and quite a natural way to employ your artillery, however, people often have been complaining that it is way too powerful. Some…
The patch 5.1.43mp (multiplayer fix) is available for beta-testing. Aside of the multiplayer (now supposedly working) there are also some minor new features and bugfixes added. The patch is available as "beta" branch on Steam and has to be switched on manually with the help of Steam client. Participating in beta-testing is voluntary, regular players' saves and gameplay won't be affected. The pa…
Soviet riflemen, Far Eastern region, 1938 Ok guys, here's the second part. I've deliberately made it completely disconnected from the previous one trying not to break the immersion effect. There's no peeking into Japanese side here, the entire post is written from Soviet perspective. Sorry if you find there some stylistic mistakes and typos, I don't have much time to proofread it this evening.…

Soviet BA-6 medium armored car and its crew, supposedly of 7th Armored Brigade, Khalkhin-Gol area, 1939. Intro If any of you guys do remember Norm Koger's TOAW PC wargame popular in late 90s and early 2000s, then you may also have played his Nomonhan'39 scenario. This scenario was very well designed and very interesting to play (even though it was quite annoying mid-game to click through 25 tur…
