Hoorah! Commander: The Great War is Updated!

[Lord Zimoa]

I hope you gents wake up fresh and sufficiently rested, because today will be a long day. The enemy is awaiting us and he is heavily entrenched. But despite all the odds victory will be ours.

Because today is the day of the BIG update! Yes soldiers, Commander: The Great War is updated to version 1.6.2 and it's huge.

The changes are many and focused on giving more historical accuracy during the game. Now if a Capital city is captured a substantial national morale penalty will be applied, battleships have now been renamed DREADNOUGHTS and Britain has a larger navy than before.

Plus, two very useful functions have been added: "UNDO" for move and swap, and a "Go to next unit" button.

But it's not over!

Be sure to check the full list of changes and bug fixes here!

Great job! O0
However, is anything added for the "blockade" of Germany? IIRC all you can really do is stop convoys from Sweden? The blockade was a huge thing for Germany contributing massively to the collapse of morale at home, leading to the Armistice.
