- Change : Updated manual.

- Change : Churchill Mk. I, Mk. II, Mk. III, Mk. IV, Mk. V and Mk. VII sprite.
- Change : Removed the winter version of the potential tile movement that looked really bad and replaced them by the summer ones.

- Fix : If your unit was attacked by a unit in the FOW, the damage wouldn’t be shown (linked to yesterday’s update).

- Added : 2 new tiles (plus seasonal variants). Someone suggested (hi CarbonDevice) me to add a new tile that could allow to spawn units that would not be a factory, or a city or anything. For example, it would be useful for the battle of Kasserine Pass where the US don’t stand a chance because they spawn in the top left but they only have a few units and no way to resupply. Or Europe 1943 where the only occupy Iceland and its pretty shit. So those tiles would allow to spawn anything (to simulate its coming from the mainland, or simply out of the map). There is a naval version, and a ground version. You will be able to spawn any kind of ship at the naval one, and any kind of ground / plane units at the ground version. Those tiles will NOT be capturable (yeah it’s not proper English but you get the idea).

- Change : CAS planes will now ignore entrenchment, because otherwise they’re juste useless they can’t damage anything with their low damage.

- Fix : Notification not showing in some cases.

- Added : New game mode : free for all. This will create one faction per player, and every player on the map will be playing for himself and there won’t be any alliances. Basically a free for all setting :)

- Change : Little changes made to Kharkov43 and Stalingrad42.

- Fix : If a bomber was bombing one of your tile and if you had created a custom faction, it would change your faction.
- Fix : You could make quick saves in multiplayer. Hem …….. No comment on that one.
