We have three detailed dev blogs with great information about the changes in Allegiance, please have a look at them for all the details:

1. Two new ally nations with Allegiance: Welcome France and Italy
2. New game mechanics explained: Mobilize, Resistance, Alpine
3. Allegiance introduces Card balances, new Achievements and Draft adjustments

• France and Italy are now available as ally nations to support the existing five nations.
  
• Three major abilities have been introduced:
  
• Mobilize: A unit with Mobilize gets +1+1 at the start of their turn and loses Mobilize when damaged but not the accrued buff
  
• Resistance: Resistance cards always go to the enemy and clutter up their hand, potentially completely bogging down your enemy!
  
• Alpine: When an Alpine unit is deployed or added it gets +1+1 for each other Alpine unit you control.
  
• 26 new Achievements are now available, mainly in conjunction with the new nations.
  
• Draft matches include now France and Italy as ally nations and yield expansion card pack as reward until end of this month
  
• New daily missions for new players have been added.
  
• General Changes
  
• Elite card can now only be used for the main nation of a deck and no longer for the ally nation as well.
  
• Overhaul of the KARDS in-game Shop for easier navigation and the arrival of Allegiance expansion packs. You now can purchase expansion card packs from the shop!
  
• The deck viewer UI has been updated
  
• The game history sidebar has been improved. Cards that trigger at the start or the end of a turn are now shown as entries. You also see which cards were triggering damage (e.g. No. 10 Commando).
  

• CRUSADER Mk II: Removed Smokescreen
  
• SEXTON: Removed Smokescreen.
  
• PANZER III-L: Changed the buff conditions from “Has +1 attack if you control infantry or air unit. Has +3 attack if you control both” to “Has +1 attack for each non-tank unit type you control”.
  
• YAK 3: Increased deployment cost from 3K to 4K. Increased damage from 2 to 3. Added: Costs 1 less to deploy if you control a French unit.

• COMBINED ARMS: Combined Arms take into consideration now tank types as well increasing the maximum buff you can get by +1+1.
  
• WE CAN DO IT: Upon play, you no longer receive an extra Kredit slot. The remaining benefits are unchanged.
  
• SEABORNE INVASION: The two random US cards you will receive in the frontline when playing Seaborne Invasion are now limited to those that cost 3 Kredits.
  

• When cards were spawned into an empty deck, the visual of the empty deck were not updated and showed the deck to be still empty. Fixed.
  
• When AWOKEN GIANT destroyed a unit with more than 2 defense, you didn’t receive a card draw. Fixed.
  
• P-40 N-5 didn’t trigger before enemy units were deployed. Fixed.
  
• When 756th REGIMENT and SHTURMOVIKk attacked targets with active Ambush and got destroyed, they still dealt excess damage to the enemy HQ. Fixed.
  
• ENEMY SPOTTED didn’t get triggered when the enemy took over the frontline by spawning cards there (e.g. with SEABORNE INVASION). Fixed.
  
• NAVAL BOMBARDMENT didn’t work correctly against the AI. Fixed.
  
• In the pack opening scene, the Resources counter didn’t update even though you received the correct amount of Resources. Fixed.
  
• Some card backs and cards where missing shadows when opening packs. Fixed.
