A bug prevented the display of the 2nd battle for a given day.
Leaders won't heal their wounds by going into besieged cities.
==================================================
============================
User Interface
==================================================

region while you hold shift.
Numbers in tooltips are now colored.
If you hold down shift while a stack is selected, you see in color the links to
adjacent regions.
The command penalty is now shown near the order envelope, in pulsating red.
Improving caching system allowing smoother scrolling of the map.
New Waypoints icons
You can show with an adjustable delay, or even mask the animated balance seen
during a battle.
Multi lines scrolling enable for the ledger, you now browse your units one page
at once (with the mouse wheel only).
==================================================
============================
Game Play, Rules Additions and Changes
==================================================
============================
Supply Wagons in a besieged stack give the 'surrender protection' behavior to
all others stacks besieged (provided they still have some supply left)
You now only retreat in a city (of the region you are in), if the special order
'enter structure at end of movement' is checked. Run for the hills!
Artillerist trait now also give a slight bonus during siege.
Your leader must be activated to plan a Sortie.
A delay can appears before a battle trigger in a region, leading to a more
realistic and 'evasive' gameplay.
The command penalty rule is revised, small, lone stacks don't get max penalty
now.
==================================================
============================
Data Changes
==================================================
============================
Supply wagons no longer cost command points.
Stanwix leader had the wrong name at the element level.
==================================================

trigger. French expeditions 1 to 3 (the major ones), worked rest assured.

============================
The AI splits artillery away from armies less frequently.
Improved slightly the logic for the Being Besieged algorithm.
