Thanks for the update.

UNITS
- A few unit data changes

us_marines_40: changed expire-date from 14/9/1942 to 10/9/1942
us_marines_41: changed available-date from 14/9/1942 to 10/9/1942 (due US Marines Guadalcanal scenario on 12/9/1942?)

If you change such date for a yearly upgrade then you should also adapt this change for Japanese and Soviet marines as well. It's all about the cosmic balance, right?

SU-122_Germany_AT: changed class anti-tank to tank
BT-42_AT: removed Air-Small Attack 3
And lastly, removed some unnecessary spaces in the units.csv file.

Hey, while we are at small patches, it would be nice to get full opacity and not half transparency on circles in menus and such, please. The squares are at full opacity, while circles are weirdly half transparent.

Also, the "pins" awarded for fulfilling special secondary objectives (like in the Warsaw mission for Germany or Khalkin Gol mission for Soviet Union) are not persistent with (re)loads. They stay where they are for continuous sessions with the game, where you execute 4 missions in a row, for example, but disappear completely the moment you (re)load a saved game, either during the current session or any later (if you've left the game).
