Patch R037

General
1 - All companies/the warmap
Have been wiped/reset.
Please do not make use of the Centaur IV and any other units which are being moved to a new doctrine. Adding them to your company only to have it removed (when the unit is moved to a new doctrine) will break your company.
The same goes for any upgrades listed as being removed/re-assigned.

2 - Doctrinal unlocks
How the following doctrinal upgrades function has been changed (within the game's files); this should solve the "disappearing slot item" bug that's been around since the doctrine rework.

US Inf
90-day Wonders
Allied Grit
Assault Garands
Fighting Spirit
Gung Ho!
Lead the Way

AB
Currahee

3 - FX
The following weapons have had their FX tweaked:
Extra PE Shreck now fires the correct rocket.
37 mm AT LVs and the Pak 36/U.S. 37 mm now have new FX upon a target hit.
M9 Zook (Tank Reapers) now uses calliope FX.
Tank Reapers Zooks now use shell_medium FX.
M8 37 mm now uses antitank_light FX.

4 - Pool
As many of you have noticed, Volskinator has been messing the the pool values per doctrine and unit. This is intended to make the launcher look neat and tidy; for the most part pool is purely cosmetic.
Each unit will cost between 1 and 5 pool; 5 being reserved for heavies like Pershings and Tigers. Some doctrinal upgrades (such as Scoped Enfields, Assault Garands, and Fightin' Spirit) will "cost" 1 pool.
Each doctrine follows a 75:25 normal:reserve pool split, and doctrinal values are listed below.
Offmap Radiomen now use the Support pool instead of the Armor pool.
