Bug Fixes

• Fixed the issue with the wrong sound effect playing after the [SKI TROOPS] countermeasure is activated.
• Fixed the issue on mobile devices with the animation of the "Flare Gun" board item not showing after tapping on it on the enemy's side.
• The "Enemy is still selecting starting hand" message is now extended to be shown until the end of the "Mulligan" stage as it previously disappeared too quickly.

In addition to the card balance changes and bug fixes listed above, we’ve also made some behind-the-scenes improvements to improve operations across the battlefield.
