Not yet... Today, I am yet  working on the scale "141"  (One For One) and some improvements on  graphic animation.
Very slow...

I will post one tomorrow! - promised

what I am trying to do here is to get all battles that come with the stock version of the game ready - and after that I'll be working on the additional ones...

it takes time as I try to get even the regimental starting positions ready...

Please tell me the AI will also respect those starting positions...

[JMM]

There are yet several major developments :
Division / Brigade AI
Great Tactical AI : improvement in order to get a reactive behavior (I didn't work on this part since one year.. really sad)
GT AI keeping the units place on the initial tactical planning; it's a big challenge.

Count von Csollich is working on the historical placement of units for the battle released with the game. Big thank to him

Merci JMM! 

Il faudrait peut-être poster une autre annonce pour récapituler tous les changements majeurs qui vont accompagner ce nouveau patch (nouvelle version)?

[JMM]

De fait il y aura bientôt une version 04 avec l'échelle 141 (1 pour 1)
Pour l'instant, tenant compte des retours "négatifs" sur l'assaut contre les lignes défensives, j'interromps le développement pour la 04 et je fais surement avant la fin de cette semaine un patch 03b (RC3) qui corrige l'assaut sur ligne défensive libre.

En effet, sans avoir encore regardé, les nombreux retours laissent à penser qu'il y a un bug majeur dans cette partie (probablement la prise en compte d'un coefficient défensif qui favorise trop le défenseur)

Il est peu probable que le mécanisme des pertes soit à remettre en cause. Un secteur défensif couvert par un régiment d'infanterie permet de mieux occuper un front; le modèle de calcul n'est pas très différent suivant que l'on attaque une construction ou une ligne défensive dans un espace libre; seul un bonus est appliqué au défenseur placé dans une construction afin de minimiser  les pertes. Et je pense que le problème est de cette nature : un bonus appliqué aux unités en défense sur terrain libre alors qu'il ne doit pas être présent.

Quant à la version avec l'IA complète (IA GT amélioré, IA Division/Brigade, Plan tactique sans modification des placements), ce sera pour la rentrée... HistWar II : LGdN (version 05... étant entendu que le passage à la version 05 est fait gratuitement pour les joueurs ayant déjà HistWar)

If you want JMM i can help with deployments too.
And what about maps, we need to change them or not?

Pour la petite histoire, je serais heureux de payer tout ça comme un DLC...  

Merci, JMM

as requested a couple of screenshots taken from the Battle of Borodino:

I decided to show one action only at this time: the attack on les fleches:
this is a fictional deployment (as I'll post a screenshot for all historically deployed battles after I have finished them all )
but it shows you that the Russian starting positions are actually where they should be, occupying the field fortifications.

first screenshot shows French infantry massing in front of the enemy positions to attack head on!

second screenshot shows the Russian Infantry deployed in the fortifications - artillery (not seen here) is also present with some light cavalry in support (screenshot to follow tomorrow, I was thinking of taking a few screenshots of the large cavalry engagement on the left)

3rd screenshot shows a close-up of the fort on the far left. - deployed is a Yaeger-Unit

[Count von Csollich]

if you look closely - you can actually see the French infantry forming up in front of the fleches - in the 3rd screenshot...just imagine watching them close in for attack!

more screenshots tomorrow!

[Count von Csollich]

couldn't resist to post a last one for the night:

infantry forming up to attack the enemy positions: skirmishers are deployed up front with 2 bataillons formed en ligne with the other 4 behind in column....

second one shows that the commanding French Marèchal simply couldn't wait for his infantry to launch the attack and therefor had to send in his supporting light cavalry first to attempt of clearing some of these guns off the ridge! - Brave but foolish (if you had seen what I just saw )
