Patch Notes (checksum 0fe3):
-The amount of strongholds the Allies need to hold to not have any debuff has been doubled, spreading out the places Japan needs to attack. The value of each location though has been halved to compensate.
-There are also 3 locations that start in ECAPS hands that the allies can also take in order to lower the debuff in place of retaking an island. Those are Bangkok, Taiwan, and Nanjing
-Terrain added to Iwo Jima, Saipan, and Guam so they are not all the same terrain the entire state
-Fixed a bug where Siam couldn't access tank sharing
-Danish General Spirit can no longer be rolled.

- UK can only get the French spawn ins if they control Southern England, and they will only spawn in Southern England
