CounterAttack News

Reverted to the 1.1.2 high score board.

1.1.3 didn't change the game enough to necessitate a board wipe and a lot of players lost the scores they were working towards, so CounterAttack has gone back to the previous high score board. This unfortunately means high scores in the last week are gone.

Thank you all for your understanding!

This update brings some fixes and a few balance changes.
