What's larger than a minor update but doesn't break your saved campaign like a major update? A major-minor update! 5.1.0 is now live, bringing a few changes, fixes, and additions, including a new campaign covering the early battles of the German Afrika Korps. For the moment, this campaign only runs until the end of 1941, but in the future you will be able to continue with your crew into 1942 and 1943. As always, please post bug and crash reports in the discussion forums. Changelog follows:
