On The Western Front update for 7 March 2021

Hi all,

I've mostly spent this last update implementing some requests and suggestions you've made in the discussion forums.

Raids now result in after-action reports when you either call them back or they end normally. This took a little longer than expected to implement, because there were some bugs in the raid mechanic I had to iron out. I've also added the ability to schedule orders according to the time of day rather than having to manually set a time. This is useful for more general orders.

Lastly, there have been a few changes to the information available to the player. Units with subordinates will now show the combined status values for all of their subordinate units, which allows the player to see at a glance the overall status of an entire unit.

Vertical bars represent combined values, while horizontal bars are the status values of the unit by itself.

Bugfixes/Changes:

• Added after action report when performing raids.
• Tweaked effectiveness of raids and melee combat.
• Added ability to set scheduled orders to different times of day. This will update automatically depending on the time of year. Not setting a time of day will set the order to the specified time, same as before.
• Added total numbers, morale, supply, and readiness to units in both the unit detail popup and the Order of Battle screen.
• Added subordinate unit list to Order of Battle screen. These also show the combined numbers, morale, supply, and readiness of their subordinates when applicable.
• Units now blink red when under attack.

Thanks for playing!
