Module update: Battle for Moscow - release 2.0.0

Hi all,

There’s a new release of the module Battle for Moscow - release 2.0.0

The major change in this release is that movement of pieces is only allowed under specific circumstances:

  • Only replacements of the faction in turn may move to the map. Once there, they cannot move again (Ctrl+Z to undo).
    • Exception: During the 1st German replacement phase, German units may be moved freely, so as to make it easier to adjust the setup.
  • Only on-map German armoured units may move during the German movement phase.
  • Only Soviet units on a rail hex may move during the Soviet rail movement phase.
  • Only on-map units of the faction in turn may move during the movement phase.
  • All on-map units may be moved during the combat phase to facilitate advances and retreats.

This can all be turned off in File→Preferences→Battle for Moscow with the option Restrict movement.

  • Another new feature - though not directly in the module - is that the release is automatically pushed to the Game Library when the source GitLab repository is tagged

This - currently - uses custom code (as given here) to achieve this. Hopefully, the modification will be merged into main-line Vassal.

Yours,
Christian
