I think the newest version messed up the trucks. But, I'm picky. I use 
only trucks and radar units to rain death from above, from my mighty 
howitsers, down on the enemy units! I love this game! There have been 
times when I got surprised by an overwhelming foe and was down to one 
truck that I had to hide, in order to completely rebuild, I keep several 
versions, built from source always! Yeah buddy!   Ric
