A medium-sized update today, it doesn't break saved game compatibility, but there's a ton of new content that's now been added. Most important are a pair of new late-war campaigns that allow you to fight on the Western Front on either the British or German side, between June 1944 and March 1945. A number of new tank models are also now available to the player, including Churchills, Cromwells, Panthers, and Tigers, and will also appear as enemy units where appropriate. The two existing late-war campaigns have also been updated with lots of new enemy units and a few more player choices. With this update, the game now has 254 unit types.
Any bugs or crashes, please report them in the discussion boards. Changelog follows:
