DD 3 – Misc stuff
Hello everybody, welcome to the third FTM DD. We actually planned to give you a video DD this week, but it's taking longer than expected to be wrapped up (even though Podcat did all his own stunts), so instead I'vehastily cobbled this together carefully selected a few minor things to show off.
First up, the last of our battle scenarios, Operation Unthinkable:

It's not quite done, but this shows the scope of the scenario. The decisive campaign will be fought in Northern Europe, although events in the off-map areas may affect what reinforcements you get. The goal of the Allies will be to quickly defeat the Soviet armies and lift the Iron Curtain without getting into a prolonged war, while the Soviets can win either by kicking the Allies out of Europe or simply by holding out for 2 years.
Next up, we have the infamous Hamhung Black Hole, the supply depot that drains all of Japan's supply and fuel. Admittedly this is a bug-fix, not a new feature, but we thought you might like to know we've fixed it. There were a few issues that combined to cause it, but they've been resolved, and we added some code to the Auto-convoy function so that it'll ship back excess supplies from overseas areas. Also, although it's not normal practice, we plan to back-port this into a SF patch so you won't need to buy FTM to get it. I ran a quick game as Japan today to test it, and it looks pretty good. Here's the stockpile after my war with China:
Another little change we made was how the supply bar on a unit works, it now shows how many days of supply are left in the current province:
(And yes, I will fix the typo there)
Finally, we have fixed a couple more bugs that might interest you:
Upgrading units can no longer result in bonus manpower, and resources shipped in from overseas areas are no longer doubled.
Come back on Friday for a bonus (totally serious!) DD on the tech tree.
