Release 1.11 Posted - Changes to Turn Progression: Unit and Bug Fix
Changed:
Turn Progression: Unit restored to default setting

(i.e. with a 3(A) vs. 1(B) match, the old algorithm would progress with A1 B1 A2 B1 A3 B1, which would give player B an unfair advantage - Player B would get three turns to player 1's one turn.) Now, the same match turn progression would be A1 B1 A2 A3.
Fixed:
