Only a day later, but this is a big one!  Full notes here. What’s new? First off, Badger found a bug in some of the fire teams code that had been leading them to be less efficient with their forces (using overwhelming force where it was not needed).  This was actually a really cool behavior…

Wowzers.  This one has been a marathon, even though it hasn’t been that many days since the last release.   Notes here. A ton of under-the-hood bits have been overhauled for how to load savegames and the lobby, and everything moves a lot more smoothly now.  Specifically: The functionality for loading an existing savegame or quick…

It’s been 17 days since the last build, but there’s a whole lot of goodness in this new one.  Release notes here. Also: I got married last week!  It was supposed to be next month, but on account of pandemic we had to adjust our plans.  My wife is a physician, and in the spirit…
