1.03 Changelog

Tactical AI

o The movement of unlimbered guns at medium\long distance from the enemy is easier
o More skirmishers released for brigade with more aggressive Stances of AI

o Added the special stance Screen for the infantry battalions (specific AI routine different from that one of cavalry)
