Armoured Commander II News

A few minor additions and fixes in this update:

[h2]Changelog for 6.0.7[/h2]

ADD: StuG III B as option for player unit in Barbarossa to Moscow (Germany) campaign
CNG: Increased chance of ground conditions becoming wet if raining, also chance that dust will dissipate in rainy weather
FIX: Road generation on the Campaign Day map could sometimes result in roads heading into Lake zones
FIX: Crewmen killed in an ammo explosion are now actually KIA

This is a minor update that introduces the start of a major feature for ArmCom2: Steam Achievements. Three achievements have been added so far, and if you consider the theme that I'm using for them, you'll know that eventually there will be 54 in total. Two achievements remain hidden and unattainable for now, and will be revealed when all of the remaining ones have been added to the game.

[h2]Changelog for 6.0.6[/h2]

ADD: M36 Jackson, M24 Chaffee, M26 Pershing (not used yet)
ADD: First three Steam achievements
FIX: Missing firing crewman definition for co-ax MG on Crusader I CS

This update brings a new Early War campaign, allowing you to join German forces in their invasion of Russia up to December 1941. I've also added a number of new units in preparation for a Late War German campaign, coming in a few weeks or so. As always, please report bugs and crashes on the discussion board. Changelog follows:
