Saturday morning 20 Dec, Philippe will post an update of the patch containing:

- Fix of French texts
- Fix of air duels (most of them reported no air combats, so I fixed)
- Fix of strictly-turn-based errors reported by some of you

A few hours of patience. ;)

Important: I strongly recommend all players to download and install this 1.05c Patch update, even those that are using the English version.

The reason is that I managed to includ some key fixes:
- Finally Air Duels are back!
- I fixed regression bug that caused a lock in Strictly Turn-Based mode
- plus some other little glitches are corrected...

So do not hesitate in installing this 1.05c update! ;)

The strictly turn based mode seems locked even with this update... something is wrong, sorry... :bonk:
For the time being please play in WEGO mode. I'll try to do my best to find the solution again.

Sorry,

Thanks Calvinus. You have given us a great toy for us to enjoy this Christmas.

Now go enjoy Christmas yourself and forget about us for awhile.
