Spring: 1944 v1.7 "Operation Neptune"
While we've been quiet, yuritch has been busy making huge improvements to the visuals of our naval units.
This release also contains a bunch of bugfixes for more recent Spring versions -- sorry for the wait!
As ever, thanks to the Spring devs who make Spring a better and better platform to develop on, as well as those who keep popping in to play S44 every now and then.
Have fun :)
