Here’s the full changelog:
Gameplay:
• Major rebalancing of all ground units, mostly focused on tank vs tank performance in anticipation for European tank clashes.
• Artillery now deals less damage against low-strength targets, making them less effective at "sniping kills" from long range.
• Paratroopers have "supply stash" which delays the out-of-supply effects for a number of turns.
• Paratroopers have "Quick Entrench" trait, allowing to to dig in faster than normal units.
• Units with "Light Freight" trait can disembark from a train on open hexes.
• Units with "Heavy Treaded" trait suffer double terrain disruption penalties from moving through difficult terrain.
Multiplayer:
• 2 new maps added: Winter War based "Arctic Fox" and Morning Sun based "Double Dragons" cooperative map, playable as the Chinese.
Bug fixes:
• Some black screen on start-up issues fixed.
• Campaign end screen fixed (no longer displays nonexistent scenario location).
• Disband button and tooltip display fixed when it is unavailable.
• Switch from Strategic Map fixed when using 2D tactical map display.
• Bonus Zundapp Motorcycle unit for owners of Heroes of Normandie game fixed.
Editor:
• Dozens of new Soviet, German and Finnish units available.
• Objectives can be changed (added and/or removed) in the middle of a scenario.
• Popup dialog can be called to offer the player unique tactical, strategic or political choices during a scenario.
• 'AI Team Split" trigger effect can move units from one team to another split based on their strength. This can - for example - be used to split damaged AI units to a different team and retreat them to the rear.
