Update #61

- Added : Coastal battery for all the countries.
- Added : Junkers 87 C (carrier version of the Stuka), Yak 3P.
- Added : New mechanic : bomber escort. If there is a fighter on an adjacent tile of a bomber, if you a attack this bomber, you will suffer from retaliation from the bomber, but also from the fighter. So now it makes sense to have fighters escorting your bombers.
- Added : Sea Lion scenario.

- Change : Complete restat of all planes except for Japan and Italy, did not have time today but I wanted to release the update anyway. Might do them tomorrow.
- Change : Veteran option is now available for ALL units. Including planes and boats.
- Change : CAS planes ignore 50% of the armour.
- Change : Strategic / heavy bomber as they are called in the game ignore ALL terrain modifier. Don't freak out if they have low damage, they ignore any terrain modifier. Those might be good to bombard cities for example or units in forests or rough terrain etc.

- Fix : Custom countries not working / properly being loaded.
- Fix : Bombers / CAS planes were removing ammo when attacking / retaliating to fighters.
