Moved the base in front of village and closer to the enemy spawns. Also adjusted the spawning of friendlies and enemies on defense maps. This makes defending a lot more how I envisioned it. Endless waves of Russians attacking and you holding on for dear life!

When upgrading just be sure to start a new game since the old save games will still be expecting the old map layout.

Thanks to the detailed testing done by PureedJuice I was able to fix countless bugs which should make the game a lot more stable and enjoyable.

Have fun!

Version 0.1.2

New Features:

• AI players can now use grenades
• You can call in stationary guns built in base mode into missions
• Added combat area borders on map
• Added a game end screen for when the war ends on 8 May 1945

Major Changes:

• Base is now placed in front of village and village starts controlled by friendlies.
• Base starts with sandbags.
• Enemies now have 3 different spawn locations on defend map and spawn randomly from one of those.

Improvements:

• When starting a new game you can choose to not show commander messages if you find them annoying
• Adjusted random mission date time for season to avoid fighting in darkness
• Gun placements now send sound events to AI players when rotating turret. This allows AI to better find and attack gun placements.
• Allow selecting spawn point after loading base map with multiple spawn points available
• Lowered enemy spawns on base map into the ground a bit to give them protection
• Add AI Squad commander voice command
• Allow deconstructing supply boxes
• Vehicle occupants now have different ranks

Optimization:

• Setting up guns too close to each other in base mode leads to them not spawning in defense mission
• Radio,RM supplies and ammo boxes should not disappear after loading anymore
