Warhammer Skulls

• Doubled the number of tiles to battle over on the Overworld Map.
  
• Some tiles are vacant and can be claimed without a battle.
  
• Removed the starting battle. When the campaign states, the opening animation is played. Then, the first moves occur on the overworld map.

  • Rapid Resupply (formerly Munitions Depot) reduces unit cooldowns by 1.
  
  
• Fighting for resource tiles uses a new objective type 'Sieze and Control'.

  • Click on the HQ Commander icon next to an HQ unit to make it the HQ Commander.
