  • grenade blast interrupts turn
  • handling bouncing off roofs
  • new flying in air death animation

New AI behaviours

  • In some scenes the AI will take a defensive strategy and fight from inside buildings rather moving towards the enemy
  • If the AI thinks the player squad is too well dug in, the attackers will retreat to a defensive point 
  • Allied militia fight more cautiously, spend more APs taking cover, etc.

Other improvements:

  • Any object can be dropped, or picked up during battle, including multiple items in same location
  • Improved various animations
