very very soon! only the British faction stands unmodified from v0.9
Anything new?
nope not really, only some bug fixes and some tweaks here and there.
the factions have been re-made so they now functions a lot different from v0.9
although the Panzer Elite(PE) faction has been heavily modified from v0.9
3 new doctrines
Infantry Halftracks now heals nearby units, and has two gunners.
BergeTiger is now an upgrade for the PE Tiger(Buildable).
Co-op
two new missions for the Americans have been added D-Day and RedBall Express
both very intense and cooperative maps, not sure if they work online yet.

all factions individual AI have been modified, witch means the AI is a bit harder but not smarter.
