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.
