Tooltips everywhere & Minimap

I know most of you weren't big fan of consulting the wiki: now, you will just have to hover elements in the operation window long enough to make the tooltip appear.

If you hover an action sending a unit somewhere else, a minimap will appear so you won't need to close the operation window to check where exactly on the map you are sending this unit.

This feature alone will change your life.

A new map and new display options

Most of the "old maps" are still in the game, but I have added the Stalingrad Map as the default map. You may like the new button on the left :

Click on it to Display the troops on the map.

Now you can quickly visualize if you are really weak somewhere.

Other minor changes

PBEM : -those damn load game buttons are now easy to click -That damn PBEM folder is easy to find and open (I've added a button to do so)

English event texts: -They have been reviewed one more time (Thank You Red_Jar), so you should find less misspellings and typos)

Bugs: -They should now be even rarer (mostly those bugs that produced strange results at turn change)

Have Fun!

*PS: for those of you who don't own yet Cauldrons of War Stalingrad, it is the best moment to get it, before I raise its price for the official release (this is a matter of days)
