Some snafus in the HoN UI

Hello,
In the 5th tutorial campaign, I assaulted the half-track with Clint and killed it, but did not get credit for the Secondary Objective. I suspect that was due to the assault.
Also, there have been a few cases where I have had to click on the board to get the game out of its "pause to show results" mode, but there has been no prompt with a "combat result" (miss,hit,unit detroyed) as there usually is.
Otherwise UI works very well and I really want a version of the combat calculator that I can run on my Android phone and use to resolve combats in the boardgame

Hi, Bjerregrav and nostradunwitch!
I'm going to check this Clint thing immediately: my guess is that it's an error in the condition for the secondary objective, but I'll be more precise after the analysis.
Did the "waiting to press" thing happen again, even in non-tutorial missions?
PS: One of the things I'll really want to do when I get a couple of free hours from patching/answering/followingUp/developingTheEditor, is writing an article on our development blog, about how we calculate the percentages of the firing actions and assault actions. A printable pdf with the tables our AI uses would really help the board gamers. And if I had an additional couple of hours I could easily write a webapp with the combat calculator
Back to work, though...

No credit for the kill, got rid of the vehicle with a grenade.

I've destroyed in with the Stuart's main gun in addition to what other posters have said and not gotten credit for the Secondary Objective. Out of 5 times playing this mission, 4 times I have not received credit for the secondary objective even though the HT was destroyed in each game.

There's a mistake in the secondary objective condition.
Thanks to our awesome automatic updater, we can correct this without even releasing a patch.
Just let me check and upload, I'll let you know when the problem is corrected.
Thank you so much for helping us catch this bug.

Great to hear CatRabbit is right on this issue!
I would like to praise the engine in general. It has caught me forgetting a couple of rules while playing. Although there are a few elements missing still.
Is Machine Gunner implemented? (That is the one that lets a machine gun spread its bonus over multiple targets.) Given the UI, I can understand why not, but the symbol is still on all the units so for someone who plays the physical version of the game it is a bit disconcerting
I do miss the Action Cards. Hopefully that can be implemented at some point.

Slow road to hell : nothing happens upon passing over counter with equipment crate on the far right in bushes.

Have noticed that fire on the move penalties are double of what they should be sometimes - will try to remember to take a screenshot next time

Activating Clint causes the next given official order in the line of orders to disappear and the ordered unit can no longer be activated that turn. It's also impossible to activate Clint after all other official orders are executed.

Actualy, you can do whatever needs dooing with Clint before or after the unit who's order is up, Just don't use the proceed buton till after both the unit and Clint have done what you hoped for.

Thanks for the info. Works like a dream.

We probably corrected the error that was causing the freeze with the box, and we already released a fix with a silent patch.
Hopefully you shouldn't experience the same problem anymore. (if you do, please tell us)

Last mission of the first commonwealth campaign.
Shouldn't the bazooka be able to fire at the tank? Line of sight across open fields and a pond.

What is the square directly adjacent to the Bazooka ('below' it)? If it's a hedgerow then it would block LOS to everything 'below' the diagonal line (so you can see the pond, but nothing 'south' of it). Does that make sense?

Bazooka is limited by range

That was my first thought but it should still be range 7 which is clearly in range in the picture. I believe it's the hedgerow blocking as I indicated above.

my guess as well would be yes, easy to check mind you, as if you haven't got a shot, then it's blocked, it's that simple
