What's New

FEATURES
- Black Screen Prevention on iOS | Axis & Allies 1942 Online on iOS will now use Minimal High Quality Sprites by default: only unit icon sprites will be used on the game & combat boards. The setting (which players can find & tweak to their liking in Graphics -> Image Content And Resolution) will hopefully mitigate black screens and constant reloading. The Use Minimal Resources setting will also cause no animations and unit icon sprites only, but at a lower resolution than default

- New Defense Profiles | You can now pick from new options of Defense Profiles for Submarines and Destroyers! Differentiate between lone Subs and Subs with a fleet when
automatically submerging, or select the last defending Destroyer to be preserved in an encounter with attacking Subs

FIXES
- Game History now shows players who forfeited in Custom games
- Purchase Panel and Map Notes should be more accessible on mobile devices with unusual screen resolutions
- Fixed an incorrect error message when attempting to move a transport to a non-hostile sea zone in the Combat Move phase
- Fixed The Victory Cities text in the Help More Victory City list section
- More crash fixes
