40mm Bofors AA Emplacement AEC and Bofors Sidetech
A number of British side techs are having their manpower costs reduced to make affording these upgrades less demanding on an already manpower heavy faction.
- Manpower cost from 100 to 75
Assault and Tank Hunter Sections- Reinforce time from 7 to 6.2

- Manpower cost from 320 to 300
- Has access to Coordinated Barrage; unlike the infantry variant, this drops standard red warning flares at the target position like most off-map abilities rather than being thrown. 40 range. Shares a cooldown with all 25 Pounder abilities.
- Now has access to Off-Map Smoke Barrage used by Infantry Sections upgraded with Pyrotechnics; see changes below
- Can be upgraded with a single Vickers K Machine Gun; requires weapon racks upgrade. 60 Munitions

- Armor from 290 to 260
- Fuel cost from 160 to 175

Royal Engineers
The veterancy 1 of Royal Engineers has been adjusted. The range of their Sten guns often forced the unit to fight out of cover when engaging enemies, limiting the benefits provided by this veteran ability.
- Veterancy 1 Sten Cooldown and Reload bonuses requirements changed. Unit must now be stationary for the bonus to apply but does not require cover to function.
Sherman FireflyUniversal Carrier
The Universal Carrier is gaining an additional bonus against snipers when armed with its Vickers K Machine Gun. Target size has been increased to make the unit easier to hit with AT weapons.
