Another 'aggressive' patch, this time we have a bit of everything, and give some love to the map editor. You may need to restart steam to get the patch. Patch v1.02 Major features: - Added 'Highlighting grid coordinates from radio messages on map' (showing event locations) option. This is toggled off for new 'high' realism campaigns. - Added 'Units becoming understrength/exhausted after missions' option (shown when creating new campaign). Note: for existing campaigns, you must toggle the above options yourself in the options menu. Map editor: - Upload to steam workshop button hidden not clickable until map is saved once - Added confirmation panel when uploading to steam workshop - Added more tooltips - Fixed units sometimes ignoring elevation for path-finding - Fixed unit controller field not setting properly - Fixed road shapes not saving properly - Made default controller for enemy units static AI - Added highlighting to edit shape button - Fixed airfields not having visible labels - Made loading more error proof Balance: - Hitler Line: swapped an enemy infantry company with an infantry battalion (it felt wrong this mission is easier than the previous Gustav Line) - Nerfed artillery blast radius veterancy perks by 50% (they were gosh darned too big!) Minor: - Units no longer report losing sight of enemies when panicking or retreating (they're too busy!) - Royal Regina Rifles unit available for Juno Beach instead of Sicily, Royal 22 Regiment now available for Sicily - Fixed potential break in Dieppe Raid tutorial - Fixed rank designations in casualty list - Fixed a few typos What's next? A 'straight-line' move command, map editor steam guide and localization improvements If you're having problems with speech recognition, please refer to this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1011610/discussions/0/2262438048225838980 We're working hard to make the game the best it can be, so good or bad, please leave a review with your thoughts and comments.

Radio General is a real-time strategy game where you can't see your units. Instead you talk with them over the radio. You receive verbal reports, and then issue orders back over the radio. Unfortunately for you, war is confusing. Your units won't always know what's going on, and you must make tough decisions based on these incomplete (and often confused) reports. All of this is done from a detailed command tent, as it would have been during WWII.



Clear your throat, and show us your best commanding voice. By combining speech recognition with full voice-acting, you'll feel like you're a general on the horn with your troops.



Behind the scenes, ammunition, morale, camouflage, sight and stamina are all being modelled. Elevation and terrain type will heavily influence battles. A smaller force will be more successful in launching ambushes in a forest than a larger force. Being on a road drastically improves movement speed, however affords little cover and camouflage. Being on a hill will drastically increase your spotting distance, whilst also increasing your range and damage. Study the map carefully, and identify how best to use your units.



Carefully choose which companies to deploy - each company has unique strengths and weakness. Learn the quirks and personalities of your companies: zealous officers may refuse to retreat. Veteran companies will gain specializations, with each unit type having unique abilities.

Everyone needs a break, and your companies must rest and replenish between missions. Exhausted units perform poorly, so watch your unit rotations.



Play from the under-represented perspective of the 1st Canadian Army. Take part in the disastrous Dieppe Raid, crack the Hitler and Gothic Lines in Italy, land upon the Normandy beaches and close the Falaise Gap.

Review 100's of historical photos, documents and video. Learn how soldiers lived throughout the war, and gain a better understanding of their experiences.
