Hello there fellow wargamers!

Who here likes to compare with its peers who's got the biggest or ... who can finish first!?

Today I would like to celebrate the implementation of a new feature into the game : Official support and implementation of the Steam leaderboard for Hex of Steel!

What does this mean? Well, imagine you finish the scenario Europe 1939 in about 350 turns, the results for the scenario get uploaded directly to Steam and everyone will be able to see how you did. All players will be ranked from the lowest to the highest turn count.

Here is the list of everything that is being shared :
- Most units killed
- Most units lost
- Most units captured
- Most units killed per type (Tank, infantry, artillery, ships, planes...)
- Lowest turn count for almost all of the quick games AND per team (Axis/Allies)

And one new achievement for being the top 1 of any of the leaderboard!

Also, this is totally save compatible, so if you are in the middle of a game, feel free to continue it!

If you ever play the same scenario twice, only the best score is kept, so don't worry about doing worse than the first time !

May the competition begin, and let's see what numbers we can see on there :D

NOTE : Since the leaderboard uses Steam's API and Steam's servers, you will understand that this is a Steam version only feature, this won't come to the mobile version of the game or anywhere else out of Steam.

As part of this update I also did the following fixes:

• When being neutral you could get supplies from any neutral country not just your own.
  
• When being neutral you could see where other neutral country's submerged subs were.
  
• When deleting a player from the list in the map editor the borders would not get re drawn.
  
• The AI would not declare war on anyone anymore.
  
• Fixes for Europe 39.
  
• Neutral units in sight would wake up units that were put to sleep.
  
• The range of artillery would be shown when in landing crafts.
