victory cities, etc. This is accessed by the GT button.
- The Game turn is now accessed by the Hourglass function per WGA standard
(formally the GT button was used).
- Added indexing weather DRM marker [its place on the General Track (GT),
cannot be placed on a chart]..
- Add Weather DRMs to the Weather Chart.
- Added help files stating retreat priorities for reference.
- Deleted the AxRepl secondary map as replaced with General Track. Deleted
corresponding AxRepl markers (different size from GT Replacement markers).
- The Victory Cities marker use for the Campaign game relates to sudden death
major Russian cities. Create a Scenario Bid marker (bid of sum of Rus 1 pt
minor cities and Rus 2 pt major cities).
- Added rail control marker for those who prefer these over railhead markers.
- Restored visibility of other markers in the Markers menu.
- Increase offset of stacked markers on the General Track.
- Optimize sizes of both unit ID and turn number.
- Deleted the extra Urals WEC marker that was used in past for Scenario play.
- Pending: Add Clean Up button (Display Menu Options) that flips things back
to default (can be used to flip all air units/bases, remove railed markers,
Airdropped markers, Sea move markers). This is found in the WGA Panzerblitz
& Victory in the Pacific modules.
- Added city control marker or Axis captured major cities in Russian. Both
Campaign game city marker (Russian Major Cities) and Scenario city marker
(minor cities worth 1 point, major cities worth 2 points).
- Pending: Import VP button, and custom code that exists in WGA Russian Front
module and WGA Gettysburg '88 modules. In Russian Front, the VP button that
totals Russian cities in German control. The RBS campaign game Sudden Death
conditions count the number of Russian Major Cities in German control at the
conclusion of each January turn. Can likewise be customized to total the sum
of minor Russian cities in German control (1 VP) and the number of Russian
Major cities (2 VP) for scenario play victory conditions. This feature is
one of many of Brent Easton's custom java code sets that is non-uniformly
sprinkled in many of the WGA modules that I have to learn how to successfully
import to other modules. (A person with java knowledge is sought).
