2) Grenades' interaction algorithm with tree branches has been modified.
3) Detachments' visibility indication algorithm has been modified.

Patch is here: http://patches.gamersgate.com/k1943_patch7e.zip

Note that D2D users are having problems, so it appears the patch is just for the Gamers Gate versions.

This weekend I tried Russian patched version and for the first time, I managed to hold back German forces. In first campaign result of 9 turns was a draw...area right next to railroad station was littered with abandoned vehicles and dead bodies. Gruesome stuff.

Finally soldiers have a chance vs armor since hand thrown weapons work.

A great game, with a bit more polish, mod support and even toss in MP (maybe next version) it would be a classic IMO with a very long life.

Best $20 I spent in awhile.
