- Addition of a new special ability "Tired Veterans" for the elite troops of the 7th Armored division. It is to represent that those soldiers, after their long fight in Africa against Rommel's troops were suffering from combat fatigue. The soldiers wanted only one thing : to have a long permission and be replaced by others. They considered that they have done their part and thus weren't willing into taking part of another great war operation. This was historically one of the reasons that made the Desert Rats underperform in Normandy, especially during the infamous battle of Villers-Bocage.
The effects are : +1 Accuracy, -15% to Reload time, -30% Movement speed and -20% to their Optics.

Note that this ability will be part of the core gameplay of the 7th Armored division after its composition change, which should be arriving soon.
