HCE - 2008.037
==============
- Chg:0000 GE Fix bug in 2008.036 mouse click depth that wasn't taking into
account when a group was being clicked (doh!)(thanks Brad)
- Chg:0000 SE When mouse is clicked and shows distance on status bar, show
water depth. Only for Group window at present.

HCE - 2008.036
==============
- Chg:0000 GE Move the unit/group icon graphic out of Harpoon32.dll and into
the Graphics subdirectory of the game.
- Chg:2021 GE Tentative fix to non-air groups being asked to fire AAMs at air
groups. The situation is a surface group with fighters in
formation. If the incoming attacker comes into range of the
fighters in formation, the ships of that group would want
to fire SAMs. That isn't allowed, so the fix is to prompt
the player to form an intercept group from the formation
patrols.
- Chg:0000 GE When mouse is clicked and shows distance on status bar, show
water depth at the most recently clicked point on the map.
Only for Group window at present.

scenarios being included.
