The new multiplayer mode is finished - and as always again, this latest update or the full installation software of the new version 1.4.0 can be downloaded for free.

Some of the other main changes are:

* Changes on the game map (Europe):
Paris is now an additional Allied Capital, which is occupied at the beginning of the game by the Axis powers. To win the game, the Allies must also liberate Paris and the Axis powers must control a total of 3 of the 5 Allied capitals.
The city in the Low Countries is now Antwerp, which has an harbour.
In West Germany, the city of Munich is replaced by Hurtgen with a fortress, which represents the Western Wall and the Rhine defence line. Therefore the fortress of the Maginot Line in Eastern France is eliminated, because it's useless in a 1942 scenario.
The second German capital is now Vienna (Austria-Czech).

* Rules 2.2.7, Blocking provinces (page 22):
Submarines can now break through sea routes blocked by coastal guns (only surface vessels are still blocked). However, attacks by submarines through sea routes, which are blocked by coastal guns, are not possible.

* Rules 2.5.2, Sea battles (page 37):
If submarines are attacked by planes during a sea battle, they have always two chances to evade by diving.
