Gents,
I pains me to have to type this, but alas I missed a couple of files in my final review prior to mastering Waterloo. The game will run fine the way it ships, however the pdt files for both the "Waterloo Campaign" & "Waterloo Single" files do not include the code which alters visibility like I mention in the designer notes. Gradual reduction for dusk and dawn and then visibility reduction during the main Waterloo battle due to accumulating smoke.
The reason they were missed is, if you change pdt files out in the middle of a game and the weather entires are different it totally hoses the results the engine places on the game file. So, instead of messing up all the play test games I held these to the side...and then missed including them in the final shipment to John. <sigh>
So, I've placed them on my site so you can download them prior to starting any games. Just drop them in your main game directory prior to firing up a match and you will be good to go:

Another notable omission (though I submitted the file!) was that the Historical Background document (by Dierk Walter) got left off the cd! I've linked that on my product spotlight page, here:

All three of these files will be included with the first patch, but it would be best to grab them now and not risk messing up an ongoing battle.
