Patch 0553

Hi All,

After a small hiatus, we are returning to a more regular patching schedule. Last week we published patch 0553 which brings a small set of balance and bug fixes and a particular focus on the CW commando doctrine. The changelog is included below.

Expect to see some bigger doctrinal changes in the months ahead. As always, if you're new to the mod or returning after a long break, do join our discord server as we'd love to talk to you and help get you started!

Enjoy!
