Patch 1.01 pour Napoleonic Battles – Austerlitz et 1.06 pour Squad Battles – Vietnam

HPS a mis en ligne deux nouvelles mise à jour. La première sorti il y a quelques jours déjà concerne Campaign Austerlitz et consiste juste en un hotfix corrigeant un bug au niveau de l’infanterie. Le second patch est pour Vietnam de la série Squad Battles, et il ajoute au jeu de nombreuses petites fonctionnalités en plus bien sûr de corriger quelques bugs. Les fichiers se récupèrent respectivement sur cette page et celle-ci du site officiel.
