Hi guys
we had a lot of little issues reported and fixed a lot of small thigns so thought it best to build you a new beta.
The old MP beta is now closed and you must upgrade to play PBEM. We have very little time to make any more tweaks so the more feedback we can get quickly the better.
Thanks!

Hello, I'm downloading now, should take approx. 30 minutes. Are there any specific issues/scenarios that you need feedback on?

Not really just as wide a coverage as possible.

Took forever to download (approx. 4hrs) but uninstalled beta4 and installed RC2 with no problems. Seems to run fine. Noticed you fixed the "Wehtmacht' error on the opening screen.

Hello, I saw no RC2 release notes thread to post this in, but I noticed a little oddity. I bombed an empty victory hex, a fortification at (22,26) with my Ju 88 strategic bomber, and wanted to check if the AI could lose prestige that way.
This is normally shown on the combat log, but the log is completely empty each time? Is this a 'feature', because it isn't a city hex or something?

Yes, strategic bombing is done on supply hexes only.

Seems logical. But perhaps it is possible to indicate that it's pointless to bomb such a hex? Because you get the attack icon and you can bomb the empty victory hex players might expect it to work the same as bombing supply victory hexes; causing the enemy to lose prestige. Now it just wastes ammo without any indication what happens.
