Module talk:Fields of Fire 2

Biggest things currently on my to-do list:
 * Play the game a bit! :D
 * Do the artwork for the British Afghanistan company and develop some missions

Changelog - v2.4.2 Uploaded 12 July 2021
 * Weapons teams now keep their correct Ammunition state when hit. Added to: 5th Marines in Peleliu and Chosin; Argentine; Australian Long Tan; North Koreans; VC; NVA Vol 1; NVA Vol 2; Japanese; and Chinese.
 * ‘Non-standard’ Hit Results implemented on: Hue 81mm Mortar Section
 * Added two plain backgrounds (light green and light grey; select them from the wizard when starting a new game)
 * Changed all ammo counters in the Marker Pieces panel to the rotational type as per 2nd Ed/FoF2. If you prefer a single number-type and less counters on the table, use the blue square ammunition counter on the units’ right-click menu (‘Gain/Use ammo’)
 * Other small corrections to counter behaviour here and there..

Changelog - v2.4.1 Uploaded 4 July 2021
 * Green and Veteran units that are hit now retain their Experience levels (unless hit to a LAT) . NB - All units with a Fire team side will unfortunately reset to Line when rallied and not necessarily their starting Experience level (if they were G or V)
 * Weapons teams now keep their correct Ammunition state when hit (Spotter/Observers do not as they cannot call for fire when flipped. It returns correctly when they are rallied though). Done: 9th Inf in Normandy, Korea and Vietnam; Falklands British; 5th Marines in Hue; Germans. [Still To Do: Australian Long Tan; Argentine; 5th Marines in Peleliu, Chosin; North Koreans; Japanese; NVA Vol 1; NVA Vol 2; VC and Chinese.]
 * Corrected Fallschirmjaeger hits results and added a second platoon, that breaks down differently (you should randomly select which platoon to use: 70% type 1, 30% type 2)
 * Fixed Hit Results on Normandy 60mm mortar section, Vietnam 81mm Mtr Platoon, and Engineer platoons/sections in all three Vol I theatres.
 * Added Activated and Moved/Fired layers to vehicles (similar to Exposed/Pinned)
 * Can rotate all markers now, should you so wish?!
 * Tweak to the card art on a number of Chosin Terrain cards to help clarify the border LOS markings
 * Added three more attachment colours (now 7)
 * A few aesthetic tweaks to the counter traits and interface here and there to implement the above

Changelog - v2.4.0 Uploaded 23 June 2021 Big update (so now 2.4.x) as I think this release hopefully finishes off the Hit Results functionality (apart from automatically Pinning, which I'm still trying to sort out :

 * Added Hit Results on MG LATs to: 9th Infantry Normandy; Germans
 * Tweaked the Hit Results for 9th Infantry Vietnam squads, to leave M79 (G!) Fire Teams when hit, rather than M16s.

 * Added Hit Results on LATs to: 5th Marines in Chosin; Germans. [To do: NVA; VC]

Changelog - v2.3.4 24 May 2021

 * Hit Results now added to LATs too. Added to: Falklands British; Argentinians; Australians; 9th Inf in Normandy, Korea and Vietnam; 5th Marines in Peleliu, Chosin and Hue; North Koreans; Japanese. Still to do on NVA, VC and CCF though.
 * LATs that are marked hit with the Hit Results function are now also automatically Pinned (I’m trying to make 2- 3- and 4-steps do the same, but can’t get it working yet)
 * Correctly labelled Experience levels on all LATs (i.e. Line markers on Assault Teams and Green markers on everything else. Hue NVA are still-to-do)

v2.3.3 version number missed out due to catastrophic error editing it!!
