The production team and closed Beta testers have been working to finalize new system specs for the upcoming 1.31 update. We had anticipated publishing these specs this week but because we are waiting some final code check-ins we have decided to wait until more testing can be done.

The basic capture mechanic in Battleground Europe has remained unchanged since 2001. While there have been additions and changes to rules surrounding captures such as timers and orders, the basic "table humping" action is the same since the game began. That will change with the 1.31 update currently in Beta testing.

I'm building a new beta as I write this. It seems that not much has happened this week but that's because there is a lot of work that just didn't make the read me, and oh yeah, we had a HUGE China milestone.

Just a quick note coming out of production this week ending Oct.2nd, about a couple of changes we have being added to the v1.31 beta.
Now of course there are a lot of things happening here as everyone involved with v1.31 is busily working away on their task lists but I specifically wanted to highlight a couple of things that are new features we have added late in the build.

In the ongoing drive to upgrade Battleground Europe, Cornered Rat Software will be implementing Ragdoll physics with the live release of v1.31. Using a third party physics library called "Open Dynamics Engine" (ODE) players will now have the option of seeing an infinite variety of infantry death animations. Ragdoll is yet one more method the artists and coders at CRS are using to increase the immersion of WWIIOL.
