Operation Avalanche 0.04.7 (old; full version) file

YOU DO NOT NEED v0.04.6 TO USE THIS PATCH!

Please note that this patch is extremely rough around the edges, and several units (including, for example, the M4 Crocodile) don't appear for lack of time on my part. These flaws will likely be patched, but with what little time I have to work on the mod I wanted to release the patch before I had to time at all.

Installation:
- (1) DELETE ANY OLD VERSIONS OF THE MOD YOU MAY HAVE.
- (2) Extract the contents of the zipfile to your root Company of Heroes folder.
- (3) An Icon has been included to launch Operation Avalanche, though it's set up for Windows 7. If you have a different version of Windows, you might need to check your pathing.If you need to create your own icon:
- (1) Find the file Relic.exe in your root Company of Heroes folder, and copy it to your desktop.
- (2) Then right click on it, select Properties, and in the Target text box, add -mod OperationAvalanche -dev -nomovies to the end of the target line.
- (3) Your target line should look something like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -mod OperationAvalanche -dev -nomovies

General:
-All units removed from base buildings.
-Units replaced with call-in abilities that call reinforcements from that player's off-map reinforcement point.
-New UI for most units. This is still a WIP, so some units may appear with the wrong divisional patch (e.g., 29.Infanterie Div. Volksgrenadiers appearing with the 90th Panzergenadiere division shoulder patch), but this was in the interest of releaseing the patch in a timely fashion.

New Models/Skins:
-Credits are within the changelog/readme that's included in the zipfile.

Abilities:
-All units are now called in via abilities.
-Grit now allows you to camo in cover after remaining still for 5 seconds. Your units will also not-appear in the Fog of War.
-Infantry will reveal other infantry units in the Fog of War.

Misc:
-Sandbags now cost 3 Manpower per sandbag length.
-Most units require a specific doctrine to be chosen in order to appear. This is the case with PE units located at the HQ. CHOOSE YOUR DOCTRINE BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT MISSING UNITS!

Changes (vehicles):
-Tanks' rotation rate (the speed at which their chassis turns) reduced to 20 from 35.
-Armored vehicles no longer gain a maximum speed increase from veterancy. Instead, they gain an Overdrive type ability at Vet2. Each vehicle (for the most part) has it's own overdrive ability that boosts it's speed to it's historical top-speed. Vehicle's mobility has been reduced for improved historical accuracy, as well as to tweak how armored units are employed (as well as to make recon units more useful, especially T3 'light' tanks that are meant to be a mainstay unit).
