1.3 Enhancement for HOI2 out

[SirOsis]

It's out. I couldn't get it from the official site. Bogged down. Here are some temporary mirrors:

Air Power seems a lot better handled. From what I can see, my CAS planes are FAR more effective against retreating/moving troops than those dug in/not moving.

As it should be.

Very good. HoI2 is far from my favourite Paradox game, too much war and too little empire building for me(but I know that's not what is is supposed to be either, I just like their other games better), but it's a good game and I'm happy they continue supporting their games as they've always done, even though there have been changes lately that is possibly worrying.

Hotfix out

There is a hotfix out for 1.3

- Fixed the crashbug with viewing navalunits stats when at sea.
- Fixed the exploit which allowed unlimited resource convoys from puppets.
- Puppets will no longer take control over their masters territory.
- Fixed a problem where control of provinces sometimes was taken from a neutral.
- The Soviet GDE problem has been fixed.
- Improved AI for production slightly.
- Nations liberated from events no longer gives you dissent hits.
- Added a few pics that went missing.
- Fixed the danish stand down ctd.

This still requires the normal 1.3 Enhancement to be installed first, i.e. before this HotFix

This is good news. I've always loved all paradox games because they are so good at supporting them. Even when they've been out for a year or two!

Just saw some program about WWII last night that focused more on Grand Strategy rather than details... got me thinking about pulling HOI2 back out (once Civ 4 wears out its welcome - probably be awhile...).

What exactly is this file? I'm on a mac and was wondering how to utilize this w/ the HOI2 mac version.
