Hex of Steel News

- Change : Reworked eastern front map. Added railroads and more units
- Change / Fix : The way AI controls planes.
- Change : Way the “lock season change” works in the map editor. It will now change all tiles in the painting zone without overwriting the tiles, it only changes the value “true” to “false” or the opposite”, so applying this to old maps won’t be a hassle since you won’t need to redo your map, you brush it quickly :)
- Change : Boats can be resupplied just like any other ground unit, they don’t need to be in a harbour anymore. Their distance to the closest friendly harbour will change the % of supply that gets to them. Same rule as ground units :) Beware of U-Boots cutting your supply line !
