Minimalist Battle Report

v0.41 — Hidden Muster22 September 2026

Challenge creators may reveal their faction on the board or keep it hidden until both armies are sealed.
Lances now add +2 Strength on the charge. Rat Ogres, Orc Boyz, Big 'Uns and Boar Boyz gain Furious Charge for +1 Attack per fighting model.
Direct-fire cannons strike up to three ranks and roll D3 damage against multi-wound models. Skeleton Bolt Throwers fire Strength 6 heavy bolts.
Fleeing and pursuing regiments stop before solid monuments, while units trapped by an older battle may move back out.
Overruns continue straight ahead instead of twisting toward the centre of a destroyed target.

v0.40 — Decisive Contact12 September 2026

Charges find legal offset contacts more reliably, and fighting ranks contribute consistently against cavalry, monsters and deep formations.
Impact wounds, standards, joined combats and charge overruns now use one coherent combat result.
Breakthrough banks escaped units instead of ending the battle instantly; ambushers wait when no safe arrival point exists.
Woods screen line of sight, ordinary troops can screen direct-fire artillery, and reports distinguish wounds from slain models.
A compact scenario panel shows the objective, turns, victory points and combat bonuses without making any network request.

v0.39 — Clear Escape6 September 2026

New battles: fleeing troops pass through allies and continue until their whole formation is clear. Enemies intercepting the escape destroy the fleeing unit.
Already overlapping units can move out, including in older battles. These moves keep their facing, cost normal movement and cannot deepen an overlap or enter another unit.
Simple Move and March circles and the colour legend now appear in older battles too. The destination preview still checks terrain and obstacles.
Removed expensive movement-outline calculations that could slow down selected units. Animations now follow elapsed time instead of frame count.
Previous orders and replay outcomes keep their original rules.

v0.38 — Clear Manoeuvres6 September 2026

Move, March and Charge reach is shown with clean circular guides and an on-battlefield colour legend.
Facing the regiment toward a chosen destination is now free. Only a deliberate hold-and-drag on the rotation handle spends movement.
Deployment now keeps the whole formation inside the deployment zone and gently shifts an edge placement before it is sealed.
Correspondence deployment restoration follows the commander's actual placement order, preventing support units from displacing the front line.

v0.37 — Paths & Colossi5 September 2026

Movement now uses a universal preview and confirmation, places the regiment's front at the chosen point, and stops at the furthest legal position instead of wasting an order.
Wheels have a small capped cost and can no longer turn into a hidden march. Movement previews explain wheel, terrain and total movement costs.
Woods, water and centrepieces use the whole regiment footprint. Stone circles and craters are difficult ground; solid monuments block movement.
Orc animosity surges are bonus movement that prevent marching rather than consuming the mob's normal move. Heroes and monsters can never remain Unruly.
Rat Ogres and Bull Centaurs use proper monstrous bases and formations. True monsters make D6 Stomp hits on the charge and D3 thereafter.
Undead core troops benefit from Unholy Command near a Necromancer or Vampire. High-point armies gain a third Necromancer or Warp-Lightning Cannon, while Chosen formations are more tightly limited.

v0.36 — Hooves & Banners2 September 2026

Every regiment now has its own model count and frontage, so three copies of the same unit may use completely different formations.
Mounted cavalry now resolves rider and mount attacks separately. Rat Ogres and Bull Centaurs have 3 Wounds per model, monstrous troops stomp, and monsters make D3 Stomp hits.
Warpfire Throwers are infantry-sized for line-of-sight screening while retaining their mobile weapon-team rules.
Identical or similar army colours gain clear side outlines, with an optional stronger identification mode.
The melee currently being resolved is highlighted on the battlefield.
The War Room can show a private, optional correspondence record with wins, losses, draws and win percentage.

v0.35 — True Datasheets28 August 2026

All Space Marine, Ork and Necron profiles now use their Warhammer 40,000 11th-edition Movement, Toughness, Save, Wounds, Leadership and Objective Control values.
Ranged and melee weapons now use their real Attacks, hit roll, Strength, AP and Damage profiles, including variable melta and doomsday fire.
40K combat now uses the proper Strength-versus-Toughness wound chart, armour penetration and multi-wound models without spilling excess damage between squad members.
Unit sizes and points have been aligned with the current datasheets while Fantasy armies and existing saved battles remain unchanged.

v0.34 — Across the Stars27 August 2026

40K Alpha arrives in single player with Adeptus Astartes, Orks and Necrons, rounded squads and a compact 500-point ruleset.
Squads move and fight as complete units, with 360-degree awareness and faction rules for bolter discipline, Ork mobs and reanimation.
Every unit may now cross water at one third speed, while bridges and fords preserve normal movement.
Break-test targets never fall below 2, and spear support applies while receiving or continuing a melee rather than on the charge.
Pursuers that overrun into a fresh enemy now begin a new melee, with charge priority in its next resolution.
Quick Battles use independent menu randomness, avoid mirror opponents, and keep deployment and report perspective stable.

v0.32 — Locked in Battle24 August 2026

The clash marker now remains visible for the full duration of every active melee, including after reconnecting, replaying or pursuing into a fresh enemy.
Battle reports keep the true turn number for every entry and distinguish your army from the opponent in mirror matches.
Forsaken now roll 1+D3 attacks per fighting model; a maximum mutation lashes back for D3 casualties, and their cost rises to 17 points.

v0.31 — Clear Orders24 August 2026

On desktop, clicking through the facing marker now gives a move order; rotating requires a deliberate hold-and-drag.
Correspondence live updates now listen only for a commander's notifications and pause in hidden tabs, greatly reducing database load.
Beta analytics now retry batches safely, use lighter activity checkpoints and reject obsolete heartbeat traffic.
Returning visitors and players are counted when they come back on a later calendar day, and the admin dashboard now charts daily player trends.

v0.30 — Pursuit & Dread23 August 2026

Joined combats now respect the contacted front, flank or rear: only models that can reach that contact may fight back.
Fleeing and pursuit have been rebuilt: pursuers must be free, choose one quarry and visibly move; units crossing any table edge are removed immediately.
Rallied troops cannot charge or march that turn, and Orc animosity surges now physically move the affected mob.
Deployment and victory reports now keep the correct battlefield and player perspective in correspondence battles.
Warpfire Throwers may march and use a dangerous flame template; shooting now uses fighting ranks, movement penalties and partial cover.
The Warriors of Chaos join the muster as a compact, heavily armoured host whose Dread weakens nearby enemies.

v0.29 — Screens & Shock20 August 2026

Accepted correspondence battles now have a visible 24-hour deployment deadline; expired deployments close without a win, loss or renown.
Always Strikes First troops attack first, then chargers, then other combatants. Casualties now reduce the attacks available to later groups.
Regiments block direct line of sight according to their size, allowing infantry screens to protect vulnerable troops, mages and artillery.
Battle reports use more varied, outcome-aware prose and distinguish misses, failed wounds and armour saves without inventing abilities a unit does not have.

v0.28 — Joined battle18 August 2026

Several regiments may now charge the same enemy from open fronts or flanks; every regiment divides its attacks across the foes it faces.
Refused charges now explain whether the problem is range, front arc, terrain or a lack of room around the target.
Warpfire Throwers may move normally, and a fresh warpstone unit always survives its first misfire.
Flee moves wait for the morale and pursuit dice, magic selection switches cleanly after casting, and rotated move labels stay readable.

v0.27 — Vermin & Waaagh!15 August 2026

The Skaven Under-Empire arrives with deep-rank courage, frenzied surges and volatile warpstone weapons.
Orc commanders may Call the Waaagh! once per battle to end squabbles and drive eligible mobs forward.
Correspondence movement once again previews a ghost destination on the first tap and confirms it on the second.
Empire volleys now add the second rank instead of doubling every shot; Unyielding no longer covers Hobgoblin auxiliaries.

v0.26 — Move or March14 August 2026

New battles distinguish a normal Move up to M from a March up to 2M.
Marching prevents shooting and casting; war machines cannot march, and enemies within 8" block it.
Solid blue shows Move, dashed blue shows March, and the red forward arc shows Charge.
Tapping an enemy always attempts a Charge; tapping open ground chooses Move or March from the distance.

v0.25 — Touch control13 August 2026

A single tap now only selects a regiment; double-tap opens its information card without phantom mobile hover events.
Selections remain active after actions instead of disappearing when their animation finishes.
Player zoom and pan now remain unchanged while correspondence actions resolve and the battlefield refreshes.
On mobile, hold a selected regiment and drag to rotate it; the rotation guide stays hidden until the hold begins.

v0.24 — Battlefield control13 August 2026

Correspondence replays now use the server’s sealed outcomes, so older turns remain watchable after rules updates.
The Hall of Renown now includes real community commanders; training rivals are clearly labelled.
On desktop, drag the rotation handle during movement to wheel a regiment; the wheel spends movement and shrinks its remaining move and charge rings.
Double-click or double-tap a regiment to pin its information card.
Battlefields support two-finger pinch zoom and pan on mobile.

v0.23 — Fairer Animosity12 August 2026

A regiment can become Unruly at most twice during a battle, and never on two consecutive turns.
Animosity protection and previous incidents are now shown in the unit information card.

v0.22 — Clearer combat results12 August 2026

The battle report now explains casualties, complete-rank bonuses, standards, break tests and pursuit rolls.
Incomplete rear ranks no longer contribute to the combat result.
Mounted, flying, chariot and monster units use Swiftstride: roll 3D6 and keep the two highest when fleeing or pursuing.
Major battlefield commanders, including the Warboss on Wyvern and General on Griffon, are Stubborn.

v0.21 — Correspondence & measurement12 August 2026

Expired 24-hour start windows now end the battle by forfeit instead of silently restarting.
Clicks and shots select the regiment actually under the pointer, using its rectangular footprint.
Correspondence challenges can be set to 6, 7, 8, 10 or 12 turns.
Battlefields now include a 10-inch reference scale along the edge.

v0.20 — Battlefield clarity12 August 2026

Choose each regiment’s formation width when mustering.
Inspect allied and enemy units, with clearer ranges, rules and battlefield status.
Ranged troops can no longer shoot into melee; artillery risks friendly fire.
Wizards gained defensive magic, and Necromancers can raise fallen models.
Added front arcs, flee paths, explicit draw reports and one-tap empty turns.
Regiments can no longer overlap or deploy inside rivers.

v0.19 — Smoother battles11 August 2026
