Path of War 0.92

Release notes

*** RC Version 0.92 [2013.09.07] ***

SPECIAL WARNING: this version introduces an alternative combat mode (called 'videogamer') which offers a smoother and more action-like combat phase. If you prefer to keep playing with the classic board game combat rules, you can disable 'videogamer' mode in the game options menu.

RULE CHANGE: Attention! The effects of two special rolls (1-1 and 1-1-1) have been swapped; 1-1 now forces the attacker to retreat while 1-1-1 inflicts self-damage
