- Mobilization_2 scripts for the USSR amended to reduce their upward swing towards the Allies from an Axis Sealion under Green and Novice difficulty levels when playing against the Allied AI.
- New in game messages and Pop Up Events added to better assist the Axis player on how many units need to be kept in the east to avoid increasing Soviet mobilization.
- The USA will now swing 15-20% towards the Allies on the 7th December 1941 when Japan attacks Pearl Harbor.
1939 Campaign
- If they had transferred to the UK's control, the Ports of Cork, Wexford and Limerick will now return to Ireland if the UK surrenders (Mithrilotter).
1940 Campaign
- Decisions 418 and 611 and two POP UP scripts #NAME= ALLIED AI: German/Soviet Front Garrison Report 1941 fixed so that they will now fire, as they were incorrectly only set to fire if DE 600 = yes, but DE 600 does not exist in this campaign (Mithrilotter).
