if we uninstall game, download (HistWar-Release01-install) and install game again, shall we still need the patch/es or the download site always keep the latest versions with patches?

Okay i tested now. Download site doesnt have the updated game, we still need patch01b even if we download again.
Btw, the program didnt ask me the serial number when i finished downloading and launching the game... i still have to copy paste serial key to the histwar folder.

The read me says that there aren't any major gameplay improvements, yet it seems much improved after this patch- better all around in terms of how combat plays out.

the areas that are stated as improved are also nice- the new smoke effects and the sound.

The new smoke effect is just... brilliant

I played it for a short time tonight and noticed two things - the sound is improved and for the first time I have heard the horses galloping into battle - very exciting. But. also for the first time, I played in windowed mode and each time I resized the window the sky and lighting changed. I saw grey, deep blue, cloudy, sunset - every kind of sky for each 1mm movement of the window.  I am not sure if this is a bug or a brand new "choose your weather" feature.
My graphics card is Nvida 9600 GT and I have 4gb RAM.

Saw that too, so I have gone back to full screen.  By the way, Blucher (you know the one who's pregnant with an Elephant), STOLE your leg and took it to Grouchy as a token of commiseration

What an excellent week.  I'm living in aniticipation of my Napoleon box arriving AND there's a new patch.  Many thanks, JMM.

Harry, it's not a new patch, just JMM posting last weeks in a different forum

[HarryInk]

I didn't get it last week.  I'm happy to get now.  Thank you anyway, today, tomorrow, yesterday...

Now now, that is no way to speak about a General, even if he is a bit of a nutter

I'm sure Napoleon said worse! ;P
