- Patch Release Date: April 5, 2024
The developer of Second Front has released a new update for the game on April 5, 2024. Here are the new things that you should expect to see or change on this new update. This information was curated directly from the official announcement on Steam.
Hello fellow tacticians! Here we are with a new patch!
Rules change:
- Any form of possessing, dropping, assembling, disassembling, limbering, or unlimbering in the Fire Phase is no longer possible. (suggested by player )
- TNT can only be placed in an adjacent hex where the placing infantry can theoretically move, for example not across a cliff hex-side. TNT can no longer be thrown out of the window. TNT vs Vehicle is still not implemented. Throwing TNT is not implemented.
Additions to the game:
- AI can now use TNT
- Improved AI target selection. AI will prefer adjacent targets. AI will now prefer unprotected infantry over tanks with open hatches.
- ‘Stealthy’ impacts the ambush event. Heroes and ANZAC are stealthy
- Leader creation can happen when fighting against a Vehicle in the Melee Phase
- The chance of creating a better Leader is raised when fighting against an AFV, and also when having very low chances in Melee.
- In an ambush, the ambushed unit loses its concealment so the close combat vs this concealed unit has more chances for a kill.
- Heros or Leaders generated by fanatic units are also fanatic
Other Additions:
- The background scenes in the main menu are now 3d, partially animated. this will be improved in the future
- On loading the game the loading progress at the start is now removed. No more than 90% on a grey background. (suggested by player)
- All 240 Gun Barrels will recoil (to see this there is a new button in the garage)
- Adding a tank commander to the Tiger in the scenario ‘Tiger 131 ‘
- Adding some TNT to the scenario ‘Last Stand at the Grain Elevator’
Fixes
- A leader with disrupted infantry in the same hex will not rout (suggested by player)
- Leader behavior when the Leader is disrupted
