Terrible Swift Sword v1.2.0 — TERRIBLE SWIFT SWORD — CHANGELOG

TERRIBLE SWIFT SWORD — CHANGELOG

VERSION 1.2.0
Release Date: September 27, 2026

ADDED / CHANGED
- New action: East Cemetery Hill (July 2, 4:00–8:00 PM) — Latimer on Benner's Hill, Johnson against Greene on Culp's Hill, and the Louisiana Tigers among the XI Corps guns at dusk.
- Enemy fire zones (Map option, or T): shades the ground the enemy can fire into as his troops now face; The Ground reads how much fire falls on the hex.
- The course of the battle: the verdict sheet charts both sides' casualties and the standing against par, turn by turn.
- Keyboard shortcuts now work while a map option checkbox has focus.

NOTES
- Saves from 1.0.x and 1.1.x load unchanged; a resumed battle charts its course from the turn it resumes.

VERSION 1.1.1
Release Date: September 27, 2026

ADDED / CHANGED
- Packaged for the Tronsoft Games Portal (Package Specification 1.6.2): the game now runs from separate css/ and js/ files with a manifest, documentation, storefront art, screenshots and a manual.
- Sound effects ship as sound files (sounds/*.wav), with the synthesizer kept as a fallback.
- Effects volume slider.
- Full-screen button in the header.
- Hex coordinates in The Ground panel.
- Honours the reduced-motion preference: the machine's moves are shown at once and combat flashes are omitted.
- Visible keyboard focus on every control.

NOTES
- Saves from 1.0.x and 1.1.0 load unchanged.

VERSION 1.1.0
Release Date: September 27, 2026

ADDED / CHANGED

- Machine commands: hand any corps to the machine general.
- Optional fog of war.
- The Field: an overview map with the view marked.
- Losses reported every half-turn.

NOTES
- A coordinated-assault machine general was tried and measured worse than the existing one on paired battles; it was not adopted.
