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.
