The next DLC expansion for Hearts of Iron IV - Battle for the Bosporus - releases later today and with it comes the 1.10 'Collie' patch. It's worth stressing that this new add-on is an incredibly lean piece of DLC.
Reviving the previously toyed-with 'Country Pack' content, all it essentially does is add in reworked Focus Trees for Greece, Turkey & Bulgaria. Jack's finishing up our review as I type so you can find out our full thoughts on the new content this afternoon but in the meantime let's look into the patch notes.
While there are no major new mechanics, this patch does add in additional features for anyone who owns other DLC as well. If you own Death or Dishonor (the 'OG' country pack DLC) you will get reworked and tweaked Focus Trees/scenarios for Yugoslavia and Romania. Owners of Waking the Tiger will be treated to a new infantry model for those who go down the 'Unaligned' route for Germany.
There are a couple of other minor tweaks or fixes that only apply to other expansions as well, but the rest of the patch is free for all. The 'Heavy Cruiser Pack', which was a piece of cosmetic DLC that came with the now-defunct Colonel Edition, has also been folded into the base game for everyone to use. In case you were wondering, it includes 7 new Heavy Cruiser 3D models:
