If you consistently crash on a specific Operation, map or unit after the update - try re-verifying the files: click on the "More" button besides Play on the Galaxy client -> Manage Installation -> Verify / Repair

Update 1.0.99

• Added new Polish regiment - 36. Pułk Zmechanizowany, focusing on motorized maneuver tactics with SKOT APCs
• Added a preview of the Task Forces available for the selected Regiment in Skirmish (hover over the [?] sign to the right of the regiment selection dropdown)
• Added a platoon tooltip for preplaced strongpoints
• Added an option for an alternative color correction profile in the video settings - with more contrast and saturation
• Regipedia now displays whether a unit has smoke launchers or not

• Added Polish Assault Engineers armed with RPO Rys
• Added BMD-2K - it replaces BMP-1PK in 35th Sep Guards Air Assault Brigade
• Added Faktoria ATGM for Soviets
• Replaced quite a few SPG-9 weapon teams with Spigot and Faktoriya ATGMs

• Multiple Warsaw Pact and Belgian task forces adjusted
• HMGs adjusted: accuracy reduced, KPVT damage reduced to match the caliber
• Adjusted M109 DPICM: 10pts cheaper, total ammo count adjusted so it can shoot three full bursts
• Increased Chapparal ammo to 8 missiles
• Increased 'elite' infantry survivability bonus 200%->250%
• Survivability bonus now also provides some extra suppression resistance (up to +50%)
• Adjusted some 'elite' infantry prices: Spartan-Recce cheaper, BMDx4 slightly cheaper, TOPAS Marines more expensive
• Added coaxial MG to OT-64 and OT-62 APCs
• Fixed incorrect Spigot ATGM maximum range

1.0.98cG (2023-12-26)

• Added a new DDR Task Force "Kerze" with a company of BMP-1s: it bumps East German KdA Regiment to the correct amount of TFs and also replaces one of the overused Task Forces in MSR 9
• Added US M113-TOW Self-Propelled ATGM (currently uses Canadian extra equipment, will be adjusted later)
• Added AIFV-Milan (it was in Regipedia, but wasn't present anywhere). According to the research, it seems to have been used in a light tank-destroyer role, so that's the way it is represented
• AIFV-Milan replaced platoons in TFs "Leer" and "Pistool"
• Revised US 4-4th ID: removed M577 & Rally TA, downgraded ITV to M113-TOW, M3A2 to M3 - this brings it more in line with the amount of deployment points and capabilities other Regiments can deploy at the start
• Revised Belgian 17th Panzer: removed Recce+Milan platoon on Spartan. Same reasoning as above
• Standartized the naming of platoons with dedicated MANPADS
• West German taskforces "Antwort" and "Sonne" received a new TacAid - an F-4 airstrike with 4xCluster bombs
• FV102 set to use Thermals (which should've arrived by 1989), FV438 downgraded to Basic night vision

• Heavy machine guns (12.7mm and above) received increased damage and range, medium machine guns (7.62mm) received 1 AP; low-AP penetration tables were revised so that lightly armored units don't take an eternity to destroy with machinegun fire
• Assault engineer squads were reduced to 6 soldiers per squad and standartized to use "worse" LAWs where applicable, so they aren't a solution to every problem
• LAW stats were revised to be slightly more in-line with reality: generally minor, with the exception of Carl Gustav going from 22 to 19 AP
• Slightly buffed cluster bomb damage; reduced 2xBomb TA price to 30 pts

• US HMMWV and M109A3 models now feature randomized clutter
• West German vehicle models received authentic decals with the identification plates and weight class indicators. It is an exploratory feature to check the workflow - there's no certainty if all nations will receive something like that
• Fixed inconsistencies with AIFV-B series scale
• Regipedia unit list made more readable
• Post-battle screen will now display map or stage name. In Skirmish, it will also display the player's Regiment name
• Company label now lists the total amount of soldiers in company, not just the leader platoon (status panel can still be used to check per-platoon counts)

• Last stage of the first Operation can now end early properly if you capture all the VP objectives
• Fixed a bug that limited the rate of fire in big platoons
• Fixed a bug that prevented mechanized infantry platoons from closing to LAW range under Attack or Attack Move command
• Fixed AI not dismounting MANPADS platoons until very close to target
• Minor tweaks to the projectile hit effects
• Fixed cases where AI wasn't using some specific Air and Artillery Strike TacAids
• Credits button has been moved to the left bottom corner of the menu
