Patch 03a (RC3)

[Gunner24]

Very good improvement on the unit card display in the top right hand corner, and the icons opening up near the unit on the 2d map, both excellent.

I see the Commanders name and the formation name still block out the 2d view when you have the "tac plan" displayed.

Have I missed something, I don't see the ammo supply figures (more interested in the artillery ammo left) on that unit card.

Looking good.

After fighting an MP with the new GUI with Gunner, these are the problems we found.

1. No Ammo amount in unit card
2. No time of unit last spotted in unit card, info Vague and Conditional Delayed used.
3. No size of cannon shown on unit card but what is "02h 02h 02h" ?
4. Link Order button does not work for Corp but does for individual units.

This new display is excellent, I will be using it all the time when the last few little things AJ mentioned are fixed, until them I will go with the old display options, a very good idea to be able to switch between the two until the new one is finished.

?? Link order works in solo...

I would add that I am not particularly happy with the unit cards:
- The card itself is too big and seems to occupy too much of the screen
- The info in text is "too much" and not very easy to understand quickly in the thick of the battle. Maybe some graphic representation (like the bars in the original 03a, maybe with differet colors or icons) and some option to present a more detailed info if needed by the player would be more useful.

In MP, the Link Order is accepted by the Corp but the Corp never executes it

If you click "G" and use the old GUI, give the Link Order and then toggle back to the new GUI, it is executed

Its going great actually, but there is a couple of things
We can get the link orders but I cant get the March order to work for some reason.
Also we dont get ammo casson cannon replaced in the second day........this one I have found some time ago. But havent been able to confirm if this yet.
anyone esle getting this ?.

I had a problem getting the march order to work in a solo battle yesterday, I had to press G, order march and then press G again. Having said that I think the new GUI is great and will certainly be using it in preference to the old one. It just takes a bit of trial and error to get used to it

Maybe what we are seeing is not a problem related to a specific order.
It has been reported that the move and link orders do not work. Nevertheless, I assure you that in a solo Quatrebras battle I played yesterday I had no problems ordering a corps to move and another to link in support. In both cases the order was received and executed correctly. BUT on the other hand a deploy order to another corps, although received, was never executed !

At first I thought I found the reason but now I am not sure. I found that I inadvertently had turned off (red) the IA button of the recalcitrant corps (that button is right next to the UP button). But turning it back on did not solve the problem...

Did anybody get the Link order working in an MP BATTLE?

[gazfun]

Im getting all orders to work now!
This is a far more dynamic appearance in my view, shows imagination and forsight!
