Since it is late today, we won't release this patch on the main version, but instead in the "beta inside beta".
For the courageous ones, you know the drill:
MadMat"]HOW TO GET THE "BETA OF THE BETA": - In your game library, right clock on Wargame: Red Dragon. - Chose "Properties". - Chose the "Beta" tab. - Select "Beta -" in the menu. - Close the tab. You will start downloading the patch. If you wish to switch back to the main version, repeat the same steps but select "No" ou "None" (mine is in French ;) ) in the menu.
For the others, it should be released on the main version tomorrow.
