What is Snow? Good job Mr. Calvinus and company.

Great job! Looking forward to firing up WW1 this weekend.

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.

Unfortunately I have no access to the ftp space for patches publication...
We must wait Phil...

Patch download is underway. We have extremely slow connection right now, due to pre-Xmas traffic. I hope to update everything before 20:00 PM tonight

The reason is that I managed to includ some key fixes:

Thanks again.

Thank you for the additional update calvinus. Most appreciated!

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

Sorry,
Calvinus.

For those who want to play in strictly-turn-based mode, please install the patch and download the use the attached zip: it's the game executable patched, to be unzipped inside the game folder.

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