What’s new in Panzergruppe Guderian v1.2.1
PANZERGRUPPE GUDERIAN - CHANGELOG
VERSION 1.2.1 - 2026-10-07 - Portal package (Specification v1.6.2)
+ Packaged for the Tronsoft Games Portal to Package Specification v1.6.2: manifest, storefront art, screenshots, manual, tutorial, credits, licence, self-tests and a self-validator.
+ Keyboard play: the number keys move a hex cursor (8 north, 2 south, 7/9 north-west/north-east, 1/3 south-west/south-east); Space or 5 acts on the cursor hex exactly as a click does.
+ Pause button and P key: the computer staff stops acting until resumed.
+ Full-screen button, where the browser allows it.
+ Effects volume slider.
+ Confirmation before ending a movement phase while units still have not moved (can be switched off).
+ Sound effects as WAV files in sounds/, with live synthesis as the fallback.
* The two computer staffs now live in their own script, js/ai.js; the rules are js/rules.js and the interface js/game.js.
* High-contrast mode now also darkens the hex grid and counter outlines on the map, not only the panels.
* Difficulty levels (Lenient, Historical, Severe) are read from one definition in the rules.
Saves: Save format 3, unchanged from 1.2.0. Saves from 1.0.x (format 1) and 1.1.x (format 2) still load and are migrated.
VERSION 1.2.0 - 2026-10-06 - Overrun, weather, fog of war
+ Overrun by mechanized stacks in movement phases (4:1 in clear country), with the chance shown from public information only.
+ July thunderstorms from turn 2: no air support, mechanized units pay +1 off the roads.
+ Optional fog of war.
+ Order of Battle and pocket report.
* Victory levels recalibrated for both scenarios.
! Fog of war: the first hidden stack no longer stops the rest of the map being drawn.
Saves: Save format 3; formats 1 and 2 migrate.
VERSION 1.1.0 - 2026-10-05 - Air support, entrenchment, refit, short scenario
+ Luftwaffe and VVS ground support.
+ Soviet entrenchment.
+ German refit with replacement steps.
+ The Smolensk Gate, a six-turn scenario.
+ Staff odds on targets.
+ After-action report with charts and a turn-by-turn replay.
* The German staff holds its railheads.
Saves: Save format 2; format 1 migrates.
VERSION 1.0.0 - 2026-10-05 - First release
