This update offers the following improvements:

  • German infantry no longer use their Panzerfaust anti-tank weapons against Allied infantry.

  • The Soldier monitor now updates properly on the Macintosh.

  • You can no longer deduce enemy placements during deployment mode by watching for the targeting cursor while you drag a fire line.

  • Dead tank sprites no longer disappear.

  • Dead tanks continue to smoke.

  • It is easier to drive a tank straight down a road. They are also less likely to expose their side to the enemy during the middle of a move order.

  • Anti-tank guns placed in multi-story buildings are assumed to be on the ground floor and don't get LOS advantages from higher floors.

  • Tanks now can move onto the Arnhem bridge.

  • Mortars on "Defend" or when controlled by the AI were too accurate. Now they target an area, not individual men.
