Scourge of War 1.6 Beta Patch

[richfed]

As always [I am an infrequent visitor}, I am confused. Is 1.6 now OFFICIAL or still in Beta? I see a version 1.61 [related to Brandy Station?] floating around, but it appears a small change. When I attempt to download i.6 here, the file says BETA. At Matrix, I see only 1.5 {If you notice, in this thread, some headers say BETA, some do not]

So, short question, to purchase Brandy Station, what do I need?

[Little Powell]

Brandy Station comes with the latest and greatest 1.61 final patch.

Thank you! Purchasing now!

Also, matrix has the 1.61 patch available without purchase. Have to go to download section for the game.

Change list:

Version 1.6

New Features


* The unit currently selected in-game will now be selected when the "Compose Courier Message" window is opened.



This feature is not working for me. I can navigate to a leader by clicking directly on him on the map, navigating through the OOB, or using the arrow keys. When I open the "compose message" screen, the selected leader is NOT automatically selected. This is a great and very helpful feature....if it worked. Is there any chance i am just doing something wrong?

I'll bump this up for you, maybe a courier specialist can weigh in. I'm pretty sure I was on the test team that tested this feature, and it worked as promised for that testing phase. Still, since I personally avoid courier play...too slow for my immersion, I cannot vouch in earnest of what works and what doesn't. Courier play can get quite technical, and only those that 'live it' can really explain it, and debug it.

This feature worked in the 1.6 beta patch. It was left out of the 1.61 final patch.

Hello, programmers and mods, my compliments on the improved graphics and other, invisible work that went into Brandy Station and update 1.6.1. The countryside is looking better and better.

My trifling issue:

Before Brandy Station/1.6.1, I could send messages to my subordinates, and they'd go do what I told them to do.
After installing Brandy Station/1.6.1, my subordinates receive messages, and do nothing. Or sometimes, couriers ride in a direction away from my subordinates.

Looked all over the forum for "Brandy Station courier bug" and "Brandy hits" and "can't send message" and so on, but no answer to this particular issue. Should I reinstall everything and skip 1.6.1?

Thank you and the others for all your time, effort, and interest. It sure is an enjoyable product.

Best regards, eh,

Sorry - I missed this one coming in. I'll look into it - it's still working on my 1.61 version as far as I can remember.

Hi Col McBroom, a few questions first,

1. Are you using any mods?
2. Are you specifying a formation as well as a move order? i.e General A, move to xx farm, form your brigade into line?
