CNG: Greatly increased chance of a Lax enemy unit becoming Alert due to 1+ enemies already being spotted
CNG: Enemy units can now pivot to face any target, including the player, as an action during their activation
CNG: AI units now much less likely to attempt attacks with 0.5% chance of hit/effect

CNG: All impacts on the player vehicle can now result in 1+ crewmen in the hit location being stunned or knocked unconscious by the impact
FIX: In cases where an AI unit has 2+ weapons that can be fired by the same crewman, the game will keep track of which crewmen have already acted and won't let them operate two weapons in the same turn

FIX: Very Large towing capacity display did not fit in Unit Gallery screen
FIX: Deleting a campaign record did not properly select another one
