The Campaigns
Every mission across the campaigns has been reviewed and rebalanced.
Seventeen missions had reinforcements or objectives that did not behave as intended. They now arrive, and update, when they should.
Several victory conditions asked you to take control points the mission never opened a route to. Those objectives are now reachable.
Computer Opponent Improvements
The computer opponent has been improved and will contest ground it previously gave up.
Know Your Units
The Help menu now carries a Unit Library covering every vehicle, gun and infantry type in the game.
Each entry gives armour from the front, flank and rear, along with movement, weapons and score value, so you can weigh a matchup before you commit to it.
Around The Interface
The settings screens are cleaner and easier to read.
Vehicles and artillery can now move through barbed wire.
Also Fixed
A crash that could occur when quitting the game.
Numerous stability, interface and content fixes.
