Any game engine change runs the same risk, that's the nature of programming. Over the years many improvements have been made and while some have had "issues" they invariably get resolved, sometimes with a hotfix if the issue is severe enough.

I've never seen the game code but from what Andy and Don have said it sounds like typical spaghetti code. Having worked with such things in the past myself I stand in awe of anyone that can retain their sanity working on it year after year.
Andy is a GOD!

You can say that again. Some cats got it and some ain't. Just one semester of BASIC was enough to convince me that programming was far beyond my puny abilities.

Still, it seems calling Andy a God may be going too far. How about Demigod?

PLEASE NOTE

We pulled the <turret and/or hull facing changes *MAY* now draw enemy opportunity fire> change because the code change spilled over to infantry and the least change of facing for an infantry unit was drawing a furious opfire reaction and I could see this being used to deliberately soak up opfire by units in well protected positions. We will look at it again over the summer.
