We have a new update out for the Beta. The big two scenario changes are the addition of Operation Market Garden, and a revised version of Operation Veritable/Grenade. There is also a new tutorial out that helps teach the encirclement order and cutting the enemy off from supplies.

A small update for you folks today. The big addition we have is a new campaign system. When you start a campaign you can now give your player character a name, portrait, and even designate your corps name and badge. If you want to skip a level and get straight to a specific scenario, just use the "Skip Mission" button when selecting a level.

The full changelog is below, happy hunting everyone.

• Fixed lag when clicking on unit with many orders
• Fixed potential crashes
• Fixed supply depots not being capturable multiple times

We are live with latest beta update.

The big additions here are Complex Attack and Complex Defense. These orders will create detailed plans that you can tweak and personalize to create an intricate attack order. Complex attack will order regiments within the division to break through down roads, your artillery to conduct a preliminary barrage, and create a reserve that will automatically reinforce units in trouble. You can then tweak the plan as you want to get the exact outcome you are looking for, or even delete parts of the plan as-needed.

Campaign units now also have persistent veterancy, we have added officers whose traits effect the entire divisions statline, and you can personalize divisions with patches.
