Version 2.2 Changes

- Operation Editor added (allows building operations based on historical situations)
- Added dropdown to campaign screen which allows selection of available operations for the specified nation, theatre and date
- New victory condition for operations (besides capturing all supply sources): eliminate all opposing units on the operation map - this is the only option when an enemy supply source is inaccessible (offshore, for example)
- Added ability to customize icon, name and category for units which appear on the operation map
- When categories have been specified for operation map units, force compositions in battles will reflect the specified categories - for example, a battle involving an armored unit may feature many tanks, while an airborne unit may have only infantry
- Modified massed tank attack feature when player has won serveral battles in a row so it is less frequent, added tag to theatre configuration to turn this feature on or off
- Modified air attacks to allow multiple planes under certain conditions
- Added greater variety in positioning of random mission objectives
- Added ability to drag and drop soldiers to and from vehicles on the purchase screen
- Added right click menu to the purchase screen which allows adding soldiers to existing squads or vehicles for a price
- Purchase screen shows occupied crew positions when an existing vehicle node is expanded
- Purchase screen shows enemy vehicles destroyed and added bonus of 10% of vehicle value
- Deployment screen shows mission briefing text
- Allow multiple xml files for nation, map, vehicle, squad and human data - this allows adding new content without modifying existing files
- Added ability to specify 2x starting point bonus per nation per theatre in nations.xml
- Allow customizing point ceiling in settings.xml
- Code improvements and fixes

A note about difficulty:
To get the most challenging experience out of DCG you will want to do the following things:
1) Always save your mission result and continue, even when you lose the battle or lose all your men
2) Play MoW on "Hard" difficulty and have "Fog of War" set to realistic
3) Activate the mini-mod included with DCG called "minimapfix"

Thank you very much.Hours of fun ahead....
Nice also to see that we can add soldiers in vehicles in the battle prep screen.

Couple of questions though.
1)What does the pantherfix does?
2)"Modified massed tank attack feature when player has won serveral battles in a row so it is less frequent, added tag to theatre configuration to turn this feature on or off"
Where exactly is this tag ,having trouble to locate it...

[Dilust]

Very impressive work!

Question: Will I still be able to use my old 2.1 Save files with this?

You can try, but I'm 99% sure that the 2.2 version will invalidate any older version saves.

Great, excellent changes, very promising! downlaoding

[Orrie]

Everything is now uploaded at my site.

Use that if you find Filefront slow and unstable.

No, thy aren't compatible, sorry. In fact, you need to completely erase the previous version before you install this one.
