Community Management (Talkin' with Tex) 01/25/22

        The New Year of 2022 is here! Optimism abounds . . . resolutions of weight loss, books to be read, relationships invested in . . . . wait!  Wrong list, those are some of my goals!!

CRS over the past several weeks has been having marathon meetings as we discuss and review 2022 items.  The initial first pass has been completed so there are several more meetings scheduled as we look into the year ahead.  As Xoom indicated via Discord, you as gamers will have some input into what our focus will be for 2022. 

• CRS listens to your feedback across all of the platforms associated with the game and as such, we are tweaking several aspects of the upcoming campaign #186.  
• Tiers are scheduled to change at 9-day intervals.  Note - this is subject to change WITHIN the campaign dependent on various factors.
• New Tier Added - Tiers 1 thru 3 will have the normal combatant nations of the Allies and Axis. The introduction of the Americans will occur in Tier 4 representing 1943-1944.  Note - CRS continues to evaluate and review each campaign and tier.  There could be future changes based upon various factors.
• Ground garrison supply numbers have been reduced from 0% to a maximum of 20%; depending upon the number of pieces of kit within the garrison.  More abundance pieces of equipment will be impacted while few pieces of equipment or infantry classes will be nominally or not impacted at all.
• Air garrison supply has also been reduced
• Steam DLC players will see an increase in low-tier aircraft 
• NO SUPPLY REDUCTIONS to moveable units (ground, air, or sea)
