Ludendorff Campaign is coming in Strategic Command WWI version 1.01.05

Strategic Command WWI has been updated to version 1.01.05 and it adds a new campaign, featuring Ludendorff and his final attempts to end the war.

GAME ENGINE CHANGES/FIXES

• Fixed a surrendering calculation error for nations that reached zero National Morale and then had an obviously incorrect enemy country become the occupier (Mithrilotter).
• Fixed a naval unit spotting error that still allowed naval units with land spotting values of zero to spot inland.
• Fixed a right edge of the map scrolling and display glitch that would sometimes show units in the wrong positions (mroyer, christolos, taxman66).
• Fixed a rare error that provided some Tank units with immediate entrenchment after moving when it should have been set to zero.
• Fixed a bug that allowed AI Engineers to reinforce after an attempted move towards a fortification building position (bootlegger267).
• Fixed a SURRENDER_2 game engine handling error that did not properly convert enemy hex control in some situations (Mithrilotter).
• Fixed an error that had surrendering minors check against remaining units at 50% per unit to skip surrendering instead of 6% (The Land).
• Fixed an issue where customized sounds from a MOD were being reset when quiting a campaign and starting again (Tanaka).
• Fixed a land convoy path issue that did not correctly identify invalid paths due to territorial ownership/control changes along the convoy path.
• Fixed a combat error for some defenders that were receiving the incorrect amount of experience from an attack (pjg100).
• Fixed a spotting penalty error that could allow units to spot further than intended from customized edits of campaigns (Rainer).
• Fixed an issue where players could still reinforce and upgrade units via the toolbar method when the campaign setting had these options disabled (ericdauriac).
• Fixed an issue where declaration of war related popups would appear within the WAR MAP screen and not show later after a player exits (dhucul2011).
• Fixed an operate air unit display cost error, final cost was correct, the question just showed the wrong amount (armuss).
• Fixed a rare DECISION event related error that prevented some events from firing properly when a country surrendered on the same turn (Makhno1917).
• Fortification facings now have an effect on attacking Amphibious transports (Christolos).
• New Units to be placed on the map will now only center on a capital city location whenever the current map does not highlight a viable placement position (MJY).
