fixed 1943 sumytraining crash
fixed prokhorovka script

Hi Grondel, great job as always.
I have found a strange thing (probably bug but I am not sure) in AC:
I have paid 10.000 prestige for repairing the ship in last turns of Suez Canal scenario.
I can find it in "shop" as a prototype, which is probably correct, however I am not able to buy it to my roster (I have enough prestige and free slots). I have tried to buy it just in next scenario (Cypress). Thank you for any advice.

the carrier u see in ur stock is just 1 graf zeppelin, u would need 10 to buy a unit. it is just a token for future use.
the HMS Glorious u bought at the end of egypt was very badly damaged, since u nearly sank it. i would expect the repairs to take at least till the end of cypress ;)

when u fninished cypress please let me know if u got the hints and had an easy time. i am getting contradictory feedback to this.

Oh I see, thank you. I will try Cypress and let you know :)

Should it show version 30.04.22 or still 29.04.22 after the latest patch? For some reason mine show 29.04.22. Thanks for this great Mod, BTW

29.04.22 is the latest version, on 30.04. was just a minor fix

Thanks

Hi Grondel, Cypress finished, it was great mission (tough but fun to play). Everything seems ok including ships etc. I will try next mission in next days, however briefing/map is little confusing for me before playing:
1) oil pump hexes are not named, and I can only guess that target hexes for my effort are 4 dotted line hexes (named as "desert")
2) several supply hexes in north east area are mentioned in briefing as places where I can deploy some units but they are in British hands in the start of the mission. If that is right I recommend to formulate it as "if you will be able to ocuppy XY you will be able to deploy additional units there... " or something like that to be more clear that you deploy units here in future, not in the beggining of the battle.
Thank you and keep your great work!

Did u get the hints in the briefing urging u to block the harbours? did u block the harbours?

good, point will wait on more feedback and then make this more clear.

Major Kurz in the briefing:
"We need to drop units behind enemy lines to secure the pipline and prevent its destruction. They will need to be reinforced as soon as possible."

and

"We can land a small force here in Soueida. It is only lightly defended, if at all. We can use the old airfield there to bring in more troops and some small artillery and AT guns."

is it not clear that he is talking about u airdropping those units? i am a native german so my english might be lacking.

Honestly I didn´t notice the hint but I have blocked ports anyway as it is always good idea when attacking on the island...

Airdropping tactics is clear from the briefing but on the first reading I was somehow confused (maybe I didn´t read carefully) that I can airdrop some units AND deploy some units behind enemy lines - which is of course not possible. However I have won the mission including bonus objective (10 turns for taking pumps) and I have enjoyed the battle.

I have uncovered minor issue - between this mission and next one my Italians unit changed the flag to german... (similar problem was in air training mission earlier).

i noticed that as well, i have an idea what is causing it, but am still investigating.
