Mainly bugfixes and balance tweaks, some new gameplay additions like basic infantry being able to build flags though.
g->h was really just a minor fix to do with the HQs again for it to be a playable release until the next biggy (b4a - which will have some considerable changes, especially buildtree and unit behaviour wise ).

January 1-4, 2007 (0.01b3d)-->(0.01b3e) (not really released)-->(0.01b3f)
---------------------------------

*made infantry masses 10x higher so they don't go soaring as often

*fixed 20mm look and feel, its AoE as well
*nerfed Sherman 105 range (had already made the weapon, just forgot to add it into sherman fbi)

When troops get shot at, they'll hit the deck, gaining an armor bonus. They can also be told to dive via the on/off switch.

That's a nice M4A3 105mm there. A bit different from my M4A2 75mm that I modelled. Namely the M4A2 had late-production solid front hull plates as opposed to the multi-piece plates and protruding driver hoods of the M4A3.

Is that the Sherman type you are making? (This particular M4A2 was in Soviet service and had probably been through a lot of rought time judging from its condition).
If it is the type, then the turret seems a bit wrong. Yours is more like Matilda mk.II turret (maybe thats just the view angle). Of course, the number of Sherman variations is such that I cannot be sure.

I think my turret is too tall. And it could probably have more rounded top.
But no that's not the same type. That looks like an early production A2 (if it is an A2, I'm not sure) as it has the driver/radio operator protrusions in the front hull plate.
And remember that tank is probably 60 years old! God knows what the Soviets did to it after the war. Judging from all the dents in the side, it may have been used for target practice (and then repainted). Either that or it saw service in the war and some 37mm had a field day with it (as anything bigger would easily be able to penetrate that side armour).
