"Patton's Drive to Prum" scenario

DC:AO 1.07.01 Official Changelog:

• New February '45 Scenario added “Patton’s Drive To Prum”
• Fix png BIG icons for 13th and 19th US Corps
• Map update for Wacht, Plan, Werbomont, St.Vith: added locations: Amel, Mirfeld, Medell, Hunningen, Emmels, Breitfeld, Petit-Thier, fix position Ville.duBois
• Fix 277.VG Division 989.VG Regiment (wrong 289.)
• Updated American Officers library (added Gen. Blakeley and Rooks)
• Updated German Officers Library (added Gen. Kühn and Botsch)
• AI attacks a bit more prudently
• AI sees more interest on picking on (really) low morale enemy units
• AI better sees the value of its really strong equipment as for example Tiger Tanks
• AI made quite some reduction in its tendency to do excessive shuffling (but still some work remaining)
• AI tries to not overdoing the number of units joining in an attack and just freeing other units up for other tasks
• AI is more aware of the possibility to get cut-off and we should see less AI units putting their head to far down a noose
• Started work on a very big AI improvement (very promising results), but this is really complicated stuff and will take (at least) the remainder of the year 2024 to finish and roll out.
• Scenarios VP count in Victory Message upon actual Victory are fixed (but does require new scenario start with v1.07)
• Improved the VP bar mouse-over for Draw games
• Fixed a glitch where during the AI turn several human-controlled Units were put to March Mode
• Added some fallback code for a graphics rendering bug with the Prefs Tab in very low resolutions
• Fixed Combat Setup Window to include ranged units up to 32 hexes away (instead of 16)
• Added extra safety code around the Combat Setup Window to avoid crashes with the combat odds calculations in clicking to fast. I think this should do the trick, it was hard to replicate.
• Fixed bad combat odds preview for werfer
• Some smaller scenario fixes
