* Shells – Artillery and Rail Guns now accumulate shells each turn and may fire as many shells as they have available
* Research – Trench Warfare and Shell Production have been added to the available research types
* Reconnaissance Spotting – Recon Bombers allow you to fly spotting missions behind enemy lines, especially handy when you suspect a major offensive is in the works
